South Texas Sundown - Colors of Fall At The Ranch

south-texas-sundown-lowres-crop.jpg

Love this photo. Had a good time taking it too, random time after we had gotten back from setting up feeders and such for the hunting season. While not a huge hunter myself, I do find it enjoyable mainly because we have such a good time with dad and brothers. I tend to bring the camera more than I would a gun. ;)

In any case, sunsets or at least the glow from sinking sun on the horizon is similar to the way things change in the desert between day and night. They are quite subtle, somewhat pronounced, where you can hear the surrounding chirping of the grass and insect in it. Or you may hear nothing at all. This is a good example of what you might see on any given night with clear skies.

Felt like I needed to spend some time posting some pictures this evening. Work has been great, but its been a lot of work. The ever growing back log of photos from the last 6 months is mounting everytime I do some more adventurous random photography. I plan to give this particular photo to the grand parents for Christmas. So while I know my grandfather has never turned on a computer in his life, and I don't think my grandmother reads here, I should be fine revealing such info. So don't tell them. lol.

What a touching story about camping and the gate code. I think you should book a room in the Paris Hilton..get it? I think the covered pueblo coverings is kind of redundant. Community showers sound fun!

"Boooo!"
"Is that hairy coo booing at Ben?"
"Mooooyesmooooo!"

dont even remember how I stumbled on your site. good pictures and a crazy story about the french canadians! trust the french, no matter where they are to be foolish.

did you hear the one about the french and the chinese both vying for the 2008 summer olympics? the chinese alleged that the french never pick up the dog poo on the sidewalks of their fair city of paris. the french shot back that the only reason the chinese dont have this problem is that they eat all of their dogs. Merry christmas.
