This was taken on my recent visit to Texas, at Tyler State Park. Going there again for the firt time in many years brought back so many wonderful memories…. In my youth I spent a lot of time at this park….it was my place of solitude….to write, draw, walk, or just sit and take in nature…..my escape to reality.
Sometimes I find it challenging to be still in this world where there is so much chaos and movement….it is not always easy to be still and listen to my inner wisdom…but in the midst of it all, when i stop and allow myself some quiet stillness, I always come back to my Knowing….the Knowing that All is Well….and in that I find my Peace. For me, the Great Blue Heron is the epitome of standing still and just being in the moment. Taken on a small pond in Tyler, Texas.

On my trip to Austin Texas, my friend took me to this beautiful lake called Lake Travis. / This lake is Huge, and beautiful! The blue water resting against the white shores with Meditterianin homes wrapped around it. The house on the right side of the hills is still being built, it’s Beautiful! / The lake is down about 27feet, which normally the depth is close to 300foot. It is 63.75 miles long, and its maximum width is 4.5 miles. The lake covers 18,929 acres, and its capacity is 1,953,936 acre-feet. / You could see for miles from the place we went to for me to get some shots of it. It is so large it has it’s own lighthouse, which was too far for me to get from where we were. / Here is more info about the lake for anyone interested in the stats of it. Lake Travis I shot this in SS priorty with SS at 1/200, Fstop at 16, ISO at 200 and Exposure comp at 0, focal length was at 17mm.
Big Bend National Park – 12” x 16” Watercolor on 140# Arches CP. My reference was from a photo I took on a 3-day rafting trip down the Rio Grande. Our campsite was just to the left. This is the beginning of Santa Helena Canyon which becomes deeper and deeper the further along you float going from 800 feet to 1,500 feet at exit.
