My DSLR – I have been thinking about and researching investing in a DSLR camera for years. After chewing on it a lot recently,  I finally took a dive into the more serious photography world this morning. The price tag was a bit steeper than I usually feel comfortable with investing into a hobby, and I had a bit of buyer’s remorse on the way home. But when I took it out of the box and began taking some snapshots,  I immediately knew that I had made the right choice. This is one of my first test photos, and look at it. Just look at it! That’s my cat, Simone. Isn’t she a babe?

Coffee in the mountains – On a spontaneous solo day trip through the mountains this weekend, I stopped at this charming coffee shop. They serve coffee, tea, a limited breakfast menu, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re sipping a latte in your old, slightly tacky grandmother’s parlor.

A thrift store plush pug that actually whines and barks. If it snored like the real thing, I would have purchased it, logic and reason be damned.

Lazy Sunday lounging – Another one of my first few snapshots on my DSLR. This is Grayson slowly waking up from a nap. I love a good, unreasonably long weekend nap.

I hope you all had a great weekend too!
