Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference

I took the following photographs at Mount Hermon Christian Conference Center near Santa Cruz, California.

Or maybe these are cherry blossoms?

Great climbing/thinking tree

Our very calm and in no way reproachable cabin: TJ Wilson, Tina Howard, me, Leslie Wilson, and Mary DeMuth

Dallas Arboretum

Between recent trips to Colorado and California I had two days in Dallas just to hang out. So I met cute, fun, and funny Heather at the Arboretum at 10:30 AM one morning. We walked around, chatting and taking pictures. Then we ate lunch and chatted some more. Then we sat on a stone wall and chatted even more. When I checked my watch it was almost 5:00 PM! If you ever need to lose track of time while chatting, Heather's your go-to girl. Here are some of the shots I took, complete with cheesy alliterative labels.
