SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK

This gater was swimming in the waters on the outer edge of the Anahuac Wildlife Refuge when I snapped this shot.  I entered it in the last BAPC Honors Night program and was awarded a "Gold" award.

SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE

I entered this composite image in the "open" category of the Bay Area Photo Club of Clear Lake's "Honors Night" program and was awarded a "Gold" award by the three judge panel.  It's a two shot composite, basically one shot with the "rain" and flower and one shot with the cloud in another, that have been blended together in Photoshop.  The "cloud" is a ball of poly filler available in the fabric section of Hobby Lobby.

GRANNY

I like this shot of Granny [Dianne's Mom] sitting in the backyard on a short break.  I like the tone and the lighting but mainly the fact that Kale is out of focus in the background which adds a multi-generational element to the scene.

MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM HONEY BEE

I took this shot of a honey bee on a Magnolia blossom at the Baytown Nature Center this past weekend.

BOLIVAR LIGHTHOUSE

This shot of the lighthouse on Bolivar Point in Texas was taken on this past rainey Sunday morning.

NEGLECTED CHUTE

I took this shot at on old ranch in Warrington, TX on a trip to the Spring Antique Weekend.  There is an old house and barn but this neglected cattle chute caught my eye.

WHITE PELICAN

I took this shot of a White Pelican at the Baytown Nature Center last weekend.  We see lots of Brown Pelicans at the nature center but I haven't seen many of these white ones, and it's the first one I've photographed.
