Sunset Cloud
Sunset Cloud, originally uploaded by wblj. We’ve had so little rain here in Central Texas this spring, and when we saw this could formation I was torn; joy over the beauty of it and joy of possibility. The sunset was just setting and the glancing colors were stunning as they hit the clouds. Alas, it did not rain that evening. But, we enjoyed the...

Kenz Guitars at Dusk, originally uploaded by wblj. I’ve gone several times over to Kenz Guitars on the square in Georgetown; this last time I met Ken and he let me inside to do a little shooting.

I grabbed more fun images that night than I expected; the lights really do dazzle the eyes. A fun place to go hang out for the...

They certainly come from another life; prices in the 16-40¢ / gallon range, brands no one remembers, operation controls no one could believe. It’s always fun to find old...

Late Evening Sunset, originally uploaded by wblj. I was completely surprised by the colors of the sky as I was stepping out of my front door, so I grabbed my camnera and quickly drove to where I could see the horizon and snapped off a very few shots. It only lasted for about 10 minutes total. I do not think I have ever seen such a beautiful sky in my...
