Cowboy Casanova Photoshoot

I had the pleasure of being able to go on a photoshoot right here in my own backyard (Temecula!)

Held at the TCR Ranch..about 50 photogs gathered to take part in the theme "Cowboy Casanova" shoot.

The grounds to the estate were amazing..and the models were just so professional, beautiful and friendly!

Here are some of my shots from the day:

lets get trashed...

Let the FUN begin!!!!
Im heading out later today to my first photoshoot workshop called 'Trash the Dress" that Nick Corona Photography is hosting! I can't wait!

Then tomorrow.. the SoCal Photog Shootout will be held at a ranch/estate in Temecula..and the theme this month is "Cowboy Casanova" (think Carrie Underwood's video)

I'll be here this morning.. nervously twitching.. pacing.. limbering up my trigger finger!

if you want to escape and get away from it ALL...
then head to the desert!!
We felt like we had this whole area to ourselves...it was sooo remote and private and Q U I E T !

Jack rabbits the size of our dog!!

Cactus' galore!

Then we spent a nite at Lake Skinner in Temecula...

Tippy.. lickin' his chops.. wanting sooooo badly to catch a bird!

Thank you to everyone who's emailed to make sure that i am okay :)
Here's a pic of an area map showing the fires south and west of me. (I live in Murrieta)

The skies have been brown and 'weird'..with an eerie feeling the past couple of days.. but we are safe.

Here's a link to a great google map showing where the fires are..how much containment they have..where the Evacuation centers are..etc..

Here is a shot taken a couple of days ago..over our back fence.. looking south to Temecula.

My friend, Shirley, has posted fire info on her blog.. as her hubby is one of the brave, hardworking Firefighters helping to save the many homes in harms way. I applaud all of these guys for giving it their all and for their continued fight! I hope some relief comes..and Shirley's hubby can get some rest..and a good hot meal!

Thank you for the prayers.. please keep them coming for those who are without their homes.. or those who are still awaiting word about whether or not their home made it thru this awful firestorm....
