Your words and photos and past tense snapshots cheered me up, and yes, made me love Texas more. My husband had a Bronco like yours in Florida around the same time, and it, too, was his pride and joy. But, I must share with you something that really touched me: your photo of the Shafter cemetery appearing in the January issue of Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine. My husband and I discovered this graveyard about 15 years ago when the original, ornate metal (lead?) crosses were still there. We took many photographs, and although the visit haunted us for years, none of our photographs captured what we felt. But, your night shot with the lighting bolts behind Three Sisters Mountain says it all perfectly, and reminds me, "This could be Hades." By the way, if you saw the December issue of TPW magazine, you'll see my feature on the re-opening of the San Bernard River as the cover story. I'm glad you have some cold winter days to be shut in and ruminate on the past. Thanks for sharing the great photographs!

I write these when I feel inspired so you may not see one for months and then I will write several within a span of weeks! I try to not be trite in the message and actually spend many hours in writing one. Its fun to finally turn one out and feel good about it! Thanks again! Wyman I appreciate your kind notes!
