IMG_7780 The other day I had this great idea to make a Panini sandwich.  I’ve been wanting to make one of these since last year’s trip to DC when I had a great Caprese Panini in a restaurant there.  They are great and easy to make.

This sandwich is a slight variation of a classic Caprese.  I added some grilled chicken to the sandwich.

IMG_7772 Here are the classic ingredients: tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese.  Simple, yet deliver it delivers in taste in a big way!  Oh and the basil pictured here is straight out of the garden, fresh herbs are the way to go!

A couple of weeks ago, Honey and I went to the Texas Capitol for her birthday.  We both loved to just roam around there and gaze at the buildings.  I’ve been down there many times before for various photo gatherings, so this time I was really looking for things off the beaten path.  I really liked the way this scene looked.  Between the sign in the foreground to the leading lines of the building on the left, along with the great clouds behind the capitol building, even the Frost Tower was visible in the background.

This is one of my favorite photos from the day I spent at the lake.   The sun was starting to set and I caught some good side lighting.  I was really going for a somewhat serine yet minimalistic shot.

After spending 4 days in a hospital room, this tells the story the best.  My girlfriend had major surgery which required a stay at the hospital.  She was required to walk as often as possible and this Wonder Woman cape went with us each time!  I actually won this cape for her while we were at Fiesta Texas a few weeks ago.  The stories I’ve heard is Honey is quite the Wonder Woman fanatic!  She truly is Wonder Woman.

Beer

Beer is good! This was a leftover can from a recent smoked beer can chicken. It was still sitting on top of the grill the other night and I liked the way the light was hitting it from the setting sun.

Private Drive

This is another favorite of mine. Take in Oklahoma at a church that’s been around for a very long time. I’ve grown up seeing this stop sign.
