Super Moon Over Lisa Lake (Composited Image)

     We need two exposures to show the view of the moon over the landscape. Merging them together, I can recreate the view over Lisa Lake of a moon at perigee, the closest to Earth since 1948. See more information about the  super moon at Time and Date's Web site.

Kevin's Cowboy True 2017 Project, JC Ranch and Farm

     Kevin invited photographers to take part in another of his projects to benefit Cowboy True. This year, we visited the JC Ranch and Farm near Mankins to record a branding. I show below a picture taken by Jeremy Enlow of the group standing in front of the JC Ranch and Farm home, and pictures I took of Hunter Cure on his magnificent black horse working with Francisco (green shirt and green eyes) and some of other cowboys. Mr Cure's dog, Max, also assisted in the branding.

     Deeply intrigued by a lone white, long-horn cow, I watched her for a while. She appeared old, and after the medication, her owner stated that the cow would go home to become a pet. I show some of my pictures of that cow, too.

     The photographers will submit their images to the Cowboy True committee as part of the exhibit.

     View more photos uploaded by some of the photographers at Kevin's page at Flickr.

                                 

Right, Jeremy Enlow.

Corn Harvest

       While Charles drove the combine, Chandler and Brody drove the tractors back and forth from the trucks. At supper-time, Jena brought sandwiches for the farmers, a welcome respite during their twelve-hour days.

Fort Richardson Under the Super Moon

     Not far south from Jacksboro, Fort Richardson State Park commemorates the fort that during the early 1860s to the late 1870s provided assistance to the people of the nearby area. Abandoned after the end of the Red River War, the fort's buildings fell into disrepair. In 1968, the city of Jacksboro acquired the 454-acre land that soon thereafter became the state park. 

     Texas State Photographer Laureate occasionally holds seminars at Fort Richardson. I attended a light painting lesson.

     We stood a short distance from the buildings while Mr. Meinzer rushed from window to window, light painting them with his EAG TAC G25C2 outfitted with the filter kit. He had already lit the second story windows with lights.
