BIG MONEY!!!

Holy schnikes!! I won the stinkin' Texas lotto, to the tune of $19 million. My heart hasn't slowed down since 9:55 last night when they had the drawing. I guess I'll be getting that new camera gear I've been wanting, and my 4x4 and a new home and a rippin' new fishin boat too!! I'm finally going to get the Canon 600mm f2.8L IS lens!! Let me think, today is April 1st and they said I could pick up the check on the 5th. How much do I rock!!?? Austin, Texas here I come!!


Anyway, on to photography. It's Spring and the flowers are in bloom here in Texas. Of particular interest are the wildflowers that bloom most anywhere there is a relatively large patch of un-mowed turf. Just around the corner from my house is a bayou(Houston is the bayou city). Many of these are not bayous in the strictest sense of the word. Those of you in other parts of the country will call them drainage ditches. I can hear my mother-in-law making some snide comments about 'Yankees' right now.

At any rate, Thursday afternoon past, I mosied over to the bayou and captured some wildflower pictures. I used a soft focus filter on the first two captures. Images were made with my birthday presents: a Canon 50mm f1.8 MK II lens and a set of Kenko extension tubes. All were shot handheld. This Canon lens is wonderful!! By the way, time's not too late to send belated birthday gifts. :-)

Enjoy!!

































Well, there you have it. April fools!! I did find 19 cents of the Kroger parking lot though.

Remember to keep clicking that shutter, because if you aren't clicking, you're just holding an expensive black box that makes lots of noises.

Please don't pirate my images. I've worked hard to make them. Please enjoy them, but don't steal them.
