We’ll take any shade we can get in this brutal, central Texas heat and humidity.
Looks like all the beer evaporated already.
Somewhere in Luling, Texas.

Rain Boots
Here are the rain boots worn by me and my fellow students at a wildflower photography workshop. It was a dark and stormy morning — lightning! thunder! wind! rain! — but by the time we wanted to venture outside for our first photography session, we had blue skies. It was still wet, however, so we donned our rain boots for most of the afternoon.
Creature from the Green Lagoon
We still have standing water from a couple of days of rain. This frog decided to take up residence in the puddle close to our dining room window.
Hubby got a good closeup.
Yellow in the Spring
I hope Mother Nature isn’t fooling around with us. Our Lady Banks roses are in full bloom. They usually bloom in mid-March. A late, hard freeze would be devastating.

Spring Into Action
First day of spring; Arthur’s favorite day of the year. People who make resolutions in January are idiots, he decided. He believed the first day of spring is the day to renew, recharge one’s soul.
Getting out of bed, he changed into his running clothes, looking forward to arriving at the park just before dawn, greeting the sun as it peeked over the horizon. As he opened the door, snowflakes from a late winter storm blew into Arthur’s face, hinting at the brutal bleakness waiting for him, should he go outside.
Good grief, Arthur thought. I’m going back to bed.
