So I was pondering a theme for the week, couldn’t come up with anything better, so I decided it would be LensBaby Week. Yay.

7/52-14 April Showers…
True to myth, April has been fairly rainy thus far, or was for two or three days this week. It’s a blessing here in North Texas, where we’re enduring a lengthy and moderate-to-severe (according to the National Drought Mitigation Center) drought, a curse to commuters, and a delight to my senses: the smell of ozone …
