My neighbor Petesie and I went to Austin for a two-day photography workshop.  The location was very near this lovely glass building.  Austin, Texas

I got up this morning and saw a herd of deer grazing outside my office window, bathed in beautiful rim light.  Mostly of course their heads are down, and when they are not, they are partly behind trees or other deer, or with their butts facing me…  But I got a couple that I like out of the bunch, and here’s one.  Casamagnolia, Wimberley, Texas

Here we are even closer in.  I like this one best.  Wimberley, Texas

We brought these two roses home from the garden club and  I couldn’t resist trying to capture their beauty with the camera.  Notice that the off-white rose and the red rose are unfolding differently.  Wimberley, Texas

Last year we lost the two huge agave that used to flank the entrance to the front door to some kind of grubs they are prone to. These, by the driveway entrance, are still healthy. The goat sculpture is by Nate, recyclesculptor.com/. Casamagnolia, Wimberley, Texas

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks, Sandoval, New Mexico. Although I don’t usually do B&W prints, I gave it a try in this case because the sky wasn’t that nice.  I think the lack of color enhances the texture and lines.   This picture is on exhibit at the juried show of the Wimberley Valley Art League, though April 6, 2010.

This is what the Cholla Wheel (below) was created from.  Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks, Sandoval, New Mexico
