so ive been practicing and playing and realizing there is a

lot of practice to do w this new gadget.

luckily i have some friends who will let me practice on them.

took some pics of my friend and her out of town guests 

(super fun and awesome friends......

even if i believed that one of them sheered sheep for a living.....!)

its been warm here in boomtown 

so this evening was a nice night for a walk w my friend Liz. 

we walked

we talked

& i shot some night time photos

....and look what we saw!  

a room full of balloons!!

& then we stumbled upon this adorable mini snowman! 

i thought he was fake.  he was so small and just sitting there.

no larger than my hand.

love him.
