Renewal…
I remember passing this house a couple of years ago and loved the old style of it. My thoughts at the time were that it would make a great haunted house. I just loved the old style of it. Actually I wished I had lived there. Well, I was driving around and passed by the house yesterday and low-and-behold it had been totally remodeled and WOW what a beautiful house it is now! Georgetown Texas is such a beautiful town. The people are great and I love…

Night Photography (Austin)…
I’m just now learning how to expose photographs for night lights. The intrenet is a wonderful resource for looking up settings to start with. So, I took my camera down to Town Lake in downtown Austin Texas and played with the settings that I had found on the internet. The settings I ended up using: ISO 100, f.8, and exposed for approximately 10 seconds (on a tripod of course). You can generally get good results with these settings if you’re shooting for the lights. Nice to sit…

Central Texas Rain…
I’m so glad it rained. There is so much to see and do after a heavy downpour (other than dry off). I noticed my grandson’s bicycle had fallen over in the storm.

Texas Drought…
Well they’ve announced that here in Georgetown Texas we are now under water restrictions. I was wondering when they were going to do that because I’ve enjoyed taking pictures in San Gabriel Park.

Georgetown Texas…
I live in Georgetown, Texas North of Austin. I worked in Austin and commuted 47 miles to work. I count that as a blessing as now I have the opportunity to find work in the town I love and live in. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art They have a wonderful downtown square that is very active! Restaraunts, shops, boutiques, and an active theater that puts on fantastic plays! It has been so long since I’ve seen a live play and it’s quite an experience to watch.…

Austin Bats…
I think it’s rather unique to have a million bats fly out from under a bridge every night at sunset. Not to mention the amount of bugs they eat. It’s like the sunset party in Key West, FL watching the sun go down. In Austin, Texas – they watch the sun go down AND the bats come out! Beautiful! Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art So all these bats come flying out of this bridge right at sunset and the people line the bridge to watch. It’s…
