Moxie, do you think I's sending a too small or too large file?

Glad you liked it photophile. When downloaded, they all look as they appear on my monitor and when I printed them. A little baffled why they don't have their tru color unless downloaded.

Thanks dragons wing. I love shooting landscapes in wilderness areas.

Thanks, but the pictures are not their true color unless downloaded. I don't know why this happens. Would appreciate helpful advise from HHGs.

A few photos from my recent trip to BBR state park. In the same area as Big Bend National Park, but different in many ways. All roads are unimproved with most requiring 4X4 vehicles. And many requiring special 4X4 vehicles with additional equipment like winch and jacks. The park office, ranch house and bunk house are 27 miles from the highway and took us almost two hours to get there. Worth the trip if you like to traverse rugged roads.

My wife thinks this house is extremely "tacky"

Having grown up in New Orleans, the paint scheme looks rather subdued.

Industrial Series - Barad-dûr (The Dark Tower)

Don't know the official name of the unit, but, I believe, it is used to reduce the mined material in to various cuts (sizes) depending on consumer needs.

Beautiful photo. Tolkien would love it.

Sketch Series - Nature's Tapestry

Hi Bob....I've been following your Sketch Series, and love them all. Interesting choices of subjects, well composed and creative technique. Keep them coming.

Thanks for the pictures of the tree and the fruit. I've heard of the tree, but never saw one.

There are a lot of interesting stories about Enchanted Rock, but the one about Ranger Hays is probably the most famous. My son told this story to my grandsons on our visit to the site.

I'm not surprised that you and your boys found arrow heads there. I'm always amazed how many sites in various part of the hill country where they are often found. Recently an archaeology group from one of the universities discovered a Comanche camp site on a small creek about a quarter mile down the road from my place. Comanche raiders captured many children of German settlers in the hill country. There is an interesting book, "Emperor of The Summer Moon", published a few years ago about the Comanches in Texas.

Thanks again for the information on buckeye trees. I'll keep an eye out for them when I travel north out of Texas.

Old Texas Barn

Great shot and composition. I love old barns and TX has lots of them. I don't recognize the crop. Is it millet?

Hi Guessman......Not certain I'd recognize a buckeye tree; only saw trees native to the area and not many of them growing in the granite.

Mr. PC....Don't miss the wineries; it seems a new one opens every month. I think there are now about 14 on 290 between Johnson City and Fredericksburg with more in the planning.

A touch of New England color at the ranch and views from Enchanted Rock.

The colors on some of the photos are not true unless you download them. I would appreciate it if someone could provide advice on how I can get the true color on the initial post.

Thanks,

Lou
