Photography by Julia E. Hatton

A damn good show.

There are UFOs in Texas, you just have to know where to look.

Here’s hoping my brother is finally having a bit of peace and quiet at home.

It’s not where we are going but how we get there that matters.

Perhaps.  Or maybe I just believe in drawing a line between photography and computer-generated art.

So, some signs that perhaps I was at the WRONG workshop.  When the instructor says things like:

• “Don’t worry about that.  You can fix that in Photoshop.”
• “Anyone who still uses film is a fool.”
• “I find image files that were complete crap but, in photoshop, I can turn it into a masterpiece!

Our annual girls’ getaway weekend was at Lake Conroe this time.  Loads of fun and laughs, as always.

I have been unexcusably absent.  May 2009 bring my cameras and me on many picturesque adventures!

It was my first visit there in all the years I’ve lived in the Dallas area.  I fell in love with the Town Hall.  So, despite the fact that it was in the middle of the harsh afternoon light, I couldn’t resist taking some photos.  I’ll have to visit again in better light (and cooler temperatures!).

Honestly, we’re not all cowboys and rednecks. But I still laughed when I saw this.

You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.
