nice getaway

I have been doing some photography for hire on the side and today I got to take photos at the most amazing place! It is called Mark's Overlook and it is out near Buda, Texas. The owners built these lovely cabins looking out on a spring fed creek. It is so pretty with trees, a fire pit, grills, a volley ball court, canoes and a nice porch where you can just enjoy a nice view. It would be such a fun place to have a family reunion or to go with friends for a weekend. They also had some ostriches! There are more pictures on my flickr account.

Another subject completely - Two times recently I have called the 800 number to ask questions about products I am using. I am so impressed with how helpful companies can be. The first time it was to dispel my superstitions about using glue in rainy weather. Today I called the Energizer company because my rechargeable batteries weren't charging. They told me to clean both ends of the battery with a pencil eraser. It totally worked! I was so bummed that my batteries might already have come to the end of their life. The nice man also told me about how important it is to recycle them when they do meet the end.
