Waiting
Many marinas are closed due to all the flooding in North Texas. The owners of these boats can’t even get to their boats right now because the marina parking lot is about 8 foot deep in water.

Camera Shy Pelicans

Lonely Tree – Version 2
Going Gray I used a filter called Going Gray on the original color photo titled Lonely Tree. It’s amazing how the change to monochromatic gray changes the photo’s appearance from a bright spring day to a day filled with ominous clouds. You can see the color version of this photo here.
