Palm Tree Sunday

Last Sunday I decided to take a walk with my camera while Brandon was taking a nap. There are some rural places pretty close to me, it boggles my mind that horses can survive the heat down here during the summer, but they seem to manage.

I was enjoying my time, snapping pictures here and there, playing with my lensbaby when I got to the church. The church has palm trees all around it, it really is very pretty. So, I stopped in the middle of the road, mind you the MIDDLE of the road and took these pictures...

and this one

When an older guy came out of his house wanting to know what I was taking pictures of. I showed him and told him all about my lensbaby thinking that he was a fellow Nikon fan. He and his wife turned out to be very nice people, they introduced me to all of the neighbors down the street, but it turns out they thought I was snapping pictures of their house. For what reason would I be taking pictures of them and their house???? I guess maybe they thought I was going to come and steal from them in the night? Or better yet, maybe I was from the bank coming to repo the house? I don't know, they turned out to be nice enough, but I was seriously tempted to remind them that not once did my lens ever point towards their house....oh to be nosy and at a place in my life when there's nothing else to do but watch out the front window of my house.
