Fall Color in the Northern Plains of Texas - Part 2
It is always great to visit with family over the holidays, eating good food, catching up on life events, and sharing a good laugh but after a few days of being cooped up indoors, I enjoy a good photo walk to get some exercise, soak up the sunshine, breath some fresh air, and look at beautiful world God has provided for us. Lots to be thankful for.
Fall Color in the Northern Plains of Texas
Living in the north central plains of Texas, we don’t get a lot of Fall color. So, you have to hunt for it and be happy with what you get. Yes, there are a few Oaks and Maples, but it’s mostly Locust, Pecan, various scrub trees, and, well, poison ivy is actually very pretty in the fall. After all, beauty is where you look for it.
Skagway, AK
Soon after arriving in Skagway, we attempted one of several self-guided nature walks. We ended up biting off more than we could chew but before turning around, we were thrilled to experience some gorgeous landscapes, interesting conifers, and several varieties of moss and lichen that I have never seen before.

Whale-watching, Mendenhall Glacier, and beautiful mountain scenery.

Winter - A Time for Creativity
Taking nature photos during the winter months can be challenging. There was no snow this year, only a short-lived ice storm. There is no wildlife to speak of, and everything looks dead. So, instead of giving up, it is an excellent time to think creatively and play with black and white and muted colors.
