While visiting friends in Moody, Texas, I got up before dawn ready with my camera.


One photography homework was dreamscapes: intentionally and artistically blurring the photo. I can’t tell you how ironic this is to me, as I work really hard using my photography time trying to get crisp, clear photos. Still, I was very happy to learn that my camera will take multiple exposures and overlay them to get this effect. I failed when trying to do this technique using software. Learning something new everyday.
After I took the first set of photos of the Sully doll, I cut him away from the cardboard thinking it would make a better photograph without it in the background. Unfortunately, without the cardboard box Sully won’t sit up straight; he just flops over. Not a good photography model. So the joke’s on me for cutting him away from his packaging. Sometimes I learn more than one thing a day.
A few more views from the trail at Inks Lake State Park.


The wildflowers were still blooming when we hiked at Inks Lake State Park. Park Road 4, leading into the park, was particularly beautiful. I’m putting it on my calendar for next year.
