These are just a hodgepodge of images I've taken over the past three months. I placed the title at the bottom of each image. The first one was taken on the south lawn of the State Capitol grounds in Austin. I was killing time there while Kathy and every other woman in Austin attended the annual Christmas Bazaar. These school kids were there on a field trip enjoying their lunch break. Carefree and blissfully ignorant to the challenges facing adults. Those were the days...
"What's a Stockmarket?"
This image was taken during the annual Chisolm Trail Cattle Drive and Chuckwagon Cookoff here in Georgetown.
"Chuckwagon Lawman"
I took this image on a very quiet morning at the well kept horsehoe pits here in Sun City. Something about these horseshoes reminded me of soldiers prepared for battle.
"Horseshow Formation"
The ubiquitous squirrel. This one is a ward of the state, living off of government pecans at the State Capitol...and not the least bit shy.
"Just Another Nutjob"
A daily ritual in the summer and fall is our "walk around the block". Sometimes I take my camera along. Sometimes the sun is just right and the image is right below and in front of us.
"The Long Walk"
This old windmill is all that remains of a ranch water tank here at Sun City. Its long since been unhinged from the pump and spins free with the wind.
"Slave No More"
We were out on one of our late afternoon walks and I saw the sun rays shining through this clump of grass. The luminescence was just fantastic.
"Grass Aglow"
This is another HDR image of one of the ponds here that I took in June. I've been refining it and think I have it the way I want it.
"Morning Calm"
This is an image of one of my sister's zinnias that I converted to black and white except for the bloom.
"Breaking Out"
Another garden Flower shot taken at daybreak. This image has a fairly shallow depth of field and I was able to darken down the background quite a bit. I like the way these stems seem to be moving around each other for a drink of sunlight.
"Competing for Light"
This old garden plow rests up against one of my Dad's and Dru's oaks as an ornamental testament to days gone by.
"Left Behind"
I took this image with my pocket digital point and shoot camera while visiting Las Vegas. Some of you may be familar with the scene. It is the blown glass flower ceiling display in the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel.
"Glass in Full Bloom"
Another Bellagio art design seen along the high end shopping mall of the hotel.
"Leaving Las Vegas"
