Tonight is the last edition of Rhythms on the River at the Town Square in River Ranch for this fall season. Tonight's entertainment will be provided by Chee Weez, a group from New Orleans that plays the favorite classics from Rock to Pop, to hiphop. To be honest, I am not familiar with Chee Weez but they sure look like a fun bunch and I'm intrigued so I will definitely try to make it tonight. It looks like it will be a beautiful day, too! I might even go early and take a few pictures in the neighborhood, something I do on a regular basis. I love the look and feel of River Ranch and the colors and different styles of its residences. Below are some of the townhouses found near the Town Square in River Ranch. Thinking about moving to Lafayette and considering River Ranch? There are current...

I always loved photography. I am no professional but I believe that photography is like anyting else, it takes practice to become good and more practice to become great. I also have to admit that I am a fan of Teresa Boardman's blog and I love her photography. So lately, I've been practicing and playing with apps on my iPad and iPhone to see what I could do with some of my own pictures. The pictures below were taken in the Village of River Ranch in Lafayette. It's probably one of the best places to take pictures in Lafayette because it is such a colorful place, stores and homes alike. Row of retail stores in the village of River Ranch.
