Morning Thanks

Garrison Keillor once said we'd all be better off if we all started the day by giving thanks for just one thing. I'll try.

Saturday Morning Catch


Well, to be accurate--Friday morning, and obviously this is nowhere near Siouxland. It's the Texas Hill Country in January, when there really isn't a whole lot more color than there is here, albeit--and blessedly--no snow. Or cold.

Went for a hike last week on a sunny day, temps about 70 degrees warmer than home. Light comes in shatteringly through pinons, mesquite, and cedars. I've said it before--one of the joys of photography is the simple quest for beauty. And it's there, too, in January, in the Hill Country--even if, right now, I'm not so sure it's here in Siouxland.


Name of the place is Laity Lodge, and it's gorgeous. Whenever.

Jim, did you take one of the doves out of the fountain and put it in the river for the photo? ;)
