Some time ago, I entered a photo contest sponsored by Texas Heritage (www.texheritage.com), looking for photographs that best describe “small-town Texas.” I’m not sure how many entries there were, but I was surprised to see that I had won. I did receive a check for $250 and a spiffy T-shirt with my name on it. I took this image at the 2018 Fourth of July Parade in Glen Rose, which is a classic small town USA. Almost Mayberry!
We all see the beautiful foliage from New England, while in Texas, most everything turns brown after the first light freeze. Some maple trees are sprinkled around the area, and this morning, I came across a few with the leaves beginning to fall. This leaf was lying on the ground and damp from the morning dew.
Any golf course is a good photo opportunity. In this case, Squaw Valley Golf course in Glen Rose, Tx on a late evening in June after the last golfer has come in. The colors are fabulous and takes very little in the way of color adjustments.
My new venture. We supply Specialty Grade coffee from some of the top coffee roasters in the country. When you place the order, the coffee is roasted and shipped the same day. We offer single origin, blends and sample packs. Take a look at the Best Sellers this spring on the front page of the web site. All non-GMO coffees with a number of them organic. A portion of the proceeds will be distributed to a local cancer support group that assists cancer patients and their families in this time of need. http://www.redheadedbarista.com
While visiting the Van Zandt Hotel in Austin recently, I spotted this photo of Wille hanging on the wall. Looking into this photo, I find the photographer was in the Austin music scene during that time and did a great job perfecting his craft.
