the mound.

hello loves.
i had every intention not to take outfit pictures yesterday...
(i wanted to give the husband a break from picture taking)
but after an successful day of antiquing, we stopped at a little coffee shop due to being so cold & low on energy.
as we started to walk out..i saw the mound. 
before i even said anything, the husband knew exactly what was going to happen next...

due to the crazy winds, spotty sunshine, and awkward shadows --
we were having problems getting the right light.
but after awhile, as you all know..mother nature has a mind of her own & you learn you can't fight her, 
you just have to work with her.

  1. These pictures are so beautiful! I love that your husband instantly saw your little bloggy brain at work, so cute!

    I think the lighting turned out great, that mother nature can be so sneaky sometimes!

    I love the little beehive you have going on, it really gives me a 50s vibe! I love the 50s :)
