Playing with Black and White ~ My New Canon Zoom Lens

This week has been all about something

I can't share yet... until it happens

but

you'll be sure to hear if it does!

Until then, I'm all over the place making ready

so no real posts this week yet

since Sunday until now...

Today I thought I'd share some 

black and white 

and sepia

photos with you that I've taken recently 

with my new

Canon Zoom Lens

EF 24-105mm IS USM

{hopefully I've got all that right! I put the whole thing in the title

up top, just in case! ;) }

with you ~ and it's perfect as who doesn't like pie

for a great idea to serve on Valentine's Day??!

It's the 

Texas Pie Company!

Traveling with Disabilities ~ Comfort Suites in Buda, Texas

Two queen beds in this very large room taking up one side at the end of a hallway of three rooms.

This week I traveled down to Kyle 
to visit my daughter and to take care of 
some personal but necessary business

{registering our first vehicle that HAD to be done ~ was expiring in California}
in Central Texas this week.

Looking for a hotel on Tuesday night, I found a

Comfort Suites
that

I had the pleasure of staying in in

Buda, Texas, which was wonderful!

{pronounced "Beu-da" like "beauty," for all y'all's information!}
