First time to Bolivar since Ike and was amazed how much trash at the high tide mark.

Tim I just looked at some of your gallery at smugmug and I have never, ever seen a sunset shot that good. The one from the Kemah boardwalk. Your sky full of birds puts mine to shame. Man are you a good photographer or what, and I have looked at exactly 137 photographer's websites in the last several weeks. Your shots top them all, hands down. Depth, color, composition, man do I have a LONG way to go.

Thanks David. Very much appreciated. Just go out and keep practicing. You've got some great photo op's around this area so lots to shoot.

These look fine to me! I've got several photos of that lighthouse on slide film and haven't worked on it with digital yet...hopefully this spring I'll make it over there to do some work on it.
