I was drinking my morning coffee while standing at the kitchen sink, looking out the window, when this youngster trotted out of our hedge. I grabbed my camera and snapped through the glass…I knew if I tried to open the door the jig was up. One of the great pleasures of living in our neighborhood is the proximity to forests and wildlife.

Foggy Morning Over Old Lake
November 6, 2019 By Leave a Comment
Yesterday we woke up to one of those magical, foggy mornings with that silvery, ephemeral light that had me grabbing for my camera and heading out. Old Lake (#1) was just starting to clear when I set up and shot this scene.

Fall came a bit late this year, but it’s in full swing now and a walk through the neighborhood will reveal scenes like this one, a poison ivy vine climbing high on a pine tree growing beside a cedar along JB Glaspie’s property.

Received this from Lane Norvell this morning. Please don’t let your kids try this. Not sure Lane should have, either, but the photo is too interesting not to post:
“Well I would never recommend standing on a frozen lake in Texas particularly when you are by yourself and using a self timer photoshot (like I was here at 7:45 this morning) : ) but I did test the ice and felt pretty comfotable….definitely was a cold weekend…. and not sure when the last time anyone around have seen lakes frozen over around here : ) thought you might enjoy the photo(s) and it is pretty amazing and unusual for lakes /ponds to freeze over this solidly DISCLAIMER: NEVER STAND ON A FROZEN POND OR LAKE ….THIS CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL FREEZING, FROSTBITE AND/OR EVENTUAL DISCOMFORT AND/OR DEATH : )”
