down by the tracks

you'd never have guessed that one of our favorite spots

would happen to be down by the train tracks.

many a photo shoot has occured here....engagement pics, squints, and so on.

a while back, brainstorming for a project i am working on with my mom and emily,

i thought, hey, we should have an urban picnic...

just pack up the car with some of our favorite bright colored things,

(i do love color!)

good food,

lay out a vintage tablecloth

and just picnic right in the city. so you never would've guessed it but phx is one happening city my friends.

i found that old bike YEARS ago

at one of my old stomping grounds,

cucumbers

which unfortunately i really only see driving by from the car these days.

lets just pretend we were actually in paris.

this photo could deceive you right?

someday we'll go back to that city of magic and wonder,

you and me ruby...when you grow up.

just as long as youre nice

and say please.
