I am pleased to know that this photo ( or its color version) will be on the back cover of a Kindle book to be published in January 2016.

Latest flower shot. My sister called to say "Come see my Bromeliad blooming!" I wasn't the only visitor!

Some abstracts-

Couple more recent shots with the Canon 5D and Canon 28-105 lens.

We took a short run across the Bolivar Ferry to see if FT Travis is worthwhile to take the grandkids to see. I guess it is not ready yet. Seagulls and the Bolivar Lighthouse are always good for some photos. The lighthouse shot is from across the road and up in the Ft Travis parking lot. 300mm lens job.

More recent photos with a Canon 5D and a Canon EF100mm macro lens.

Latest photographs are few since I have been laid up a bit lately. A restored Ford Fire Truck, some pokeberries, a lonely Mexican Petunia, and two tiny Kalanchoe blooms. All but the fire truck taken in the backyard. #papawsimages #randomview

Walking out the door the other evening, I was struck by the way the evening light hit the wind chimes.

I later cropped and flipped the image.

Photos taken in the last few days.
