Finding the beauty around you...

In recent weeks I've really been missing the four seasons and the colors of fall

but discovered a different kind of beauty in the Hill Country of Texas.

It may not be the colors I was seeking but while the rest of the country was

getting hit with snowstorms and cold temperatures I was enjoying the beautiful

grasses blowing in the wind....

The monarch butterflies migrating south...

A water lily blooming among the reflections of the trees...

Beautiful rows of flowers thriving despite the drought...

The fields of pinks and golds in the meadow...

And the beautiful blues of Salvia
with the empty rows awaiting Spring.

Seek and you shall discover the beauty all around you....

Two Goons...
Not really but that's the text I received from the car while trying to scope out night shots at the Hays Street Bridge in San Antonio, Texas.

I've been wanting to shoot this historical bridge for so long and the views are just fantastic so yesterday I finally decided to check this spot out and try to look at the possibilties of a night shoot. Not sure that's going to happen unless I have back-up and body guards. I was able to get 4 shots off before I headed back to the car with seedy looking characters staring down my husband and I and checking out our car. This was the best two shots I got and I'm hoping to figure out a way to return because the possibilities of a fabulous photo are just waiting for me!!!
