Morning Glories in Tow, Texas

I wasn't going to post this but then Our Life In Idaho changed my mind..... one of their posts is an ode to Morning Glories. Wish my camera would shoot them like theirs will.

Roadside stand in the Texas Hill Country

The roadside stand proved to be harder to photograph than I thought it would be. That fence kind of messed me up. Oh well, it's still very colorful. Wish I'd bought some of their mums. GORGEOUS! Happy Mabon! And if you are lucky enough to be traveling in our area, the Texas Hill Country is a tourist's dream. Great for shopping, photography, spelunking, tubing, tons of things to do and see and climb and you name it: Texas Hill Country

Finding your friends in Tow, Texas--just look for their signs.

Tow, Texas Hay Farm

The one above is my favorite in the hay series because of all the oblique lines. And I took a freaking lot of shots of this hay field near The Fall Creek Vinyards in Tow, TX. I may have also taken a rather big risk. They were shooting out at the end of the field! Target practice, I'm sure. I just kept hoping they weren't drunk and that they were aiming off into the field and not at the road where Pinki and I were shooting them..... quite harmlessly with our cameras.

So, I was talking about the oblique lines in the above shot. Yes. First the sky, then the hills, then the trees, then the greener swath of grass in front of the trees, and lastly the yellow grass stretching from the foreground all the way back. My mentor Jean Levert Hood

taught me to look for certain shapes when I compose my shots. Until this one, I hadn't quite nailed the oblique lines thing, and really I didn't know all those shapes were there until I got home and was looking at the shot on my puter. I thought when I was shooting that the oak tree and tractor shots were going to be my favorite. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect "S" shot.
