Windy Knights

If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait 20 minutes.

Sometimes you just have to make the best of our crazy weather. No matter what kind of weather, there's always a cure. That's why people invented the slip and slide, kites sleds and Gary England. Those 4 things could get you through rain or shine.

The wind didn’t stop us from enjoying the sunlight and playing frisbee. Another big positive; it gave me a chance to play with my camera. Photography is trulsy my number one passion. My dad did it and was incredible so I know it's in the blood. The best photographers have always said to never go anywhere without your camera. After months of making excuses to not carry my camera around as if it was my child, I rode my bicycle around town for hours in search of some must-see photo opportunities. I came home with nothing.

Then, the next night on a whim I rode my bicycle to the convenience store less than a block away and I see this older woman, stretched across her lawn in her short shorts and moo-moo, trimming her grass with scissors. Inch by inch she snipped away while she carrying on conversations with herself.

Since then, I haven’t left home without my camera.

My friend Rachel and I decided to have a girls afternoon and play frisbee.



Always play frisbee, even if it's windy! Did you know that Oklahoma actually gets more annual wind than Chicago? Yup, it's true.


Oklahoma has one of the best sunsets I've ever seen. That's how red dirt makes magic.


I learn something new everyday. On this particular day, I learned how much fun triple exposures can be.


I always hear people from around the country say that Oklahomans are the nicest people you'll ever meet. That ain't no lie. A neighbor nearby noticed how much fun we were having and let us borrow a huge stuffed banana they had won at the State Fair.





And with the recent news of Arrested Development signing to do another season, it had to be a sign.



 There's always money in the banana stand. Why not meet someone new everyday? It makes life spicy.
