Good lord. Webpage? What webpage? I don't have a webpage.
Okay, yeah, I do. I forget about it sometimes, though. So what've I been up to? Here's a quick recap.
I went to a hummingbird festival in Rockport about two weeks ago. It was lovely. I took a great sunrise picture on the way. We spent a lot of time watching hummingbird banding, and we got to see a rufous hummingbird, which is very unusual for Texas. They normally live up in Oregon. I've got pictures of that stuff, and I'll post them sometime. Maybe.
More interesting to me than the hummingbirds themselves was a book of photographs that I saw in the arts and crafts area of the show. These photos were taken during a wildlife photography contest sponsored by the Coastal Bend Land Trust, which is part of an effort to encourage land owners in South Texas to balance environmental and economic interests. Those details aside, the idea is for a photographer to team up with a land owner, and then to take glorious pictures on the land owner's ranch over the course of a few months. The thought is incredibly appealing to me. The fact that my friends and family haven't physically restrained me when I've mentioned buying snakeproof boots strikes me as odd, to say the least. Then again, so is the fact that I'm talking about buying snakeproof boots.
There's more to it than that. I'm thinking perhaps I'm having an early-to-midlife-crisis. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's called the "quarter-life crisis" and I sure as jeepers had one around 25/26/27 years old!
I didn't KNOW that they made snakeproof boots, either. Eeek! There are certain things about living in the city that I'm okay with, and not having to worry about snakes that require snakeproof boots has just catapulted itself onto that list. ;)
Oh, and thanks for the idea about drafting out both presentations and then figuring out which would work best. As it turns out, I'm going to combine them! And it was your comment that got me thinking about doing that, so THANKS!
