Ya’ll have heard of The Pioneer Woman, right? 

I’ve been reading her blog(s) for a little while now.  I’ve been enjoying photography tips and her beautiful photos (often of cowboys), recipes, stories about ranch life (pics of cowboys, mmhmm!) and other miscellaneous chatter.   

And just in case I’m NOT the last person on earth to have discovered her, I thought I’d mention her here for Photo Friday.

While I’m not a huge user of PS (I use PhotoImpact, but I do own and occasionally use PSE), I AM in awe of what Miss Ree can do with her software.  And the fact that she gives away her actions for FREE!

I’ll keep this post brief, because you will need the rest of the morning (or afternoon, depending on when you are reading this) to read through the posts on her photography blog, to download her actions, to play with your own photos and to go back to her blog to read a little more. 

I promise she is that addicting.  And if you aren’t really into photography and Photoshop and actions (well, you’re probably reading the wrong blog if you aren’t into them a LITTLE), but if that doesn’t really float your boat, then you can always click over to her cooking blog.  I can personally vouch for her Cinammon Rolls recipe – yes, oh yes, I can!  (Only I used vanilla AND cinnamon in my frosting, because I’m a bit of a rebel and like to tweak recipes, just for fun).  (And I know, you’re not supposed to put cinnamon in the frosting for cinnamon rolls – but did I mention the part about being a rebel?) (And it was GOOD!) (So there!)

Just a word of warning, if you do head over to the cooking blog, make sure you have tissue.  Not for tears, but for the drool.  Although I suppose some of the recipes could induce tears.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Happy Photo Friday, everyone!

(And, isn’t that funny – I think I MAY have talked more about food than photos in this post – oops!)
