It must be dragonfly season if there is such a thing as there are plenty of them around these days. I wandered around in my front yard and took a few photos, partially out of boredom because my internet equipment decided to die on me. The other part was fun. I saw a purple dragonfly… Read More Dragonfly Close Ups
Devine (not to be confused with Divine) Lake Park is a nice little city park in Leander with a lot of trees and a pond and it is very close by to me. In the summer you can see the sun set over the water from one shore and I try to remember to go… Read More Some Devine Lake Photos

I didn’t think that there would be much to shoot around town judging by the mostly dry pond last week, so I just drove out to Inks Lake in the late afternoon.
