I was about to enter this contest, but it was like filling out paperwork to buy a house for each photo, so I decided against the idea. These are the 15 I would have put in the nature division. I’ll post them here. Some are repetitious from this blog, but I really don’t mind if you don’t.

As an update, I finally figured out that since I’m ungainfully retired, why not? So, I jumped through the hoops and have 12/15 in there right now. Some of those below aren’t there yet.

A thought about photo fame:  There are too many photographers in the world, too many who have time and means to travel to Borrioboola-Gha if they desire to take those exotic pictures that so fill the airwaves these days that they’re almost becoming humdrum; still, it’s fun to post the things and have that few seconds of recognition for the efforts made to get the shots even if “winning” is out of the question :=>

Yesterday I went out to shoot some blossoms with macro lens on H5D just to see if I could successfully find fractions of a second of breaks in Texas’s incessant wind. I got a few shots, but as I was leaving I noticed the sunset only two days from spring. With the fisherperson on the shore, the strolling people on the path, the bare tree silhouetted by the setting sun, I was compelled to stop and grab a quick hand held shot with the 120 macro lens I had been using.

What I suppose mainly supports the title here are two aspects of the subject:

  1. The still leafless tree.
  2. The green grass.

We Stopped

One of the hardest things to do when traveling is to stop and take a picture, especially if it involves any trouble, like setting up a tripod. We had noticed this subject a few days earlier between Tyler and Dallas, closer to Tyler. As we knew we would return very soon, we made a note to stop next time! The shoulder of the toll road wasn’t very wide, so we decided to make the necessary extra trip to get to the farm to market road running next to the tree. I used a Hasselblad H3D-39 hand held with the HD 35 mm lens on it.
