Well Spring is almost here, we have been having a few spring-like days recently and things are actually starting to green up though today it is snowing but that's ok....I like snow. I received my Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks magazine and all I can say is WOW! I never knew one of my photos could look so good. I am truly appreciative of my photo being selected to be on the cover. I have received many...many fine comments personally and on Facebook. Thank you all so much! I am planning on swapping out some photos and adding a few more to my website soon so please come back and look from time to time. I did add another shot of the owl photo that provides a little more close up. Also I added another photo of one of my favorite country churches. I was able to stop by one night just before Christmas when they had some candles illuminating the windows. It was a clear night and the stars were really “brightly shining”, as I took several photos there in the calm and cool night air I couldn’t help but have a few Christmas carols going through my head. Anyways…..I hope you all have a great Spring and as always God bless and remember to “enjoy the great outdoors”.
