Sunset

I couldn't miss this fabulous sunset the other day, so I just rested my camera lens on my left arm while I steered with my left hand and took the pic while I was heading home.

It's a good thing I had my camera with me (see rule #1) because by the time I made it home, the color was completely gone.

The Basin

I always thought that this capture of the Basin at the Big Bend National Park looked a little bit mystical, with the clouds and mist hanging around the rim.


I've added some more photos to this gallery as well.

Sunrise at La Mota

View from the campsite at Papalotito Colorado at the Big Bend Ranch State Park.


Absolutely can't wait to get back out there.

Cemetery tours

That time of year again.... We run cemetery tours at an old cemetery every October; they're actually pretty neat. You get to tour the cemetery and meet some of the residents interred there. Nothing spooky, just learning about local history.

Played around with the camera a bit and got some pretty "ghostly" shots.



This one didn't turn out too badly either.

Clouds

I've mentioned before that clouds fascinate me. Tonight was no different. The clouds in the background were catching the fading sunlight while the group in front was already shrouded in darkness.

Made for a nice contrast.

Fog

Went on a little trip to Stephenville this week and the fog on the way back was pretty thick. Stopped to take a few snaps on the way home.

Full moon

Was going through some files and re-discovered these pics I snapped in December '08. I believe they were among the first pics I took with my new (at the time) G10.

Here's one of my favs from the night.

Paint Gap

Nice little primitive campsite north of the basin; looking into the desert between the Terlingua Ranch and the Rosillas Ranch.
