This is Texas. It doesn't really snow this far into it where I live. I've been here since 1990. I've taken pictures of snow in Texas twice, this latest one, I call the Great Texas Blizzard of 2017. I took the opportunity to get out my camera. It might be some time before I get another chance! This is my pond just away from my house.

This little rascal chittered and scolded me to no end while he swished his tail and followed me from tree to tree. Most unusual.

I can look at clouds all day. In fact, I've done it on more than one occasion. The subtle lines and motions, the imagery you can see -- totally worth

Trying out another camera for the first time, really. A Canon. This is an image of a large Mesquite tree near our pond, reflected at sunset.
