oh the wonderful small world of Instagram… I often find the way connections work to be completely fascinating. And what a wonderful day it was to find a network of people in my own backyard. It wasn't long ago that Instagram featured instameets around the world, and one such meet took place in small town Guthrie America. I missed it… sad. However, it was by searching these tags that I found a few images, which led me to one

@darrenisreal. I found his images intriguing & inspiring & refreshing… And since the number of images I have with my favorite girl equaled almost zero, well I am just so glad he agreed to meet up on a pretty sunny morning. And to say I'm thrilled with the results is an understatement. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
