South Texas Shooters (Photography That Is!)

Hello, I am back from my own lazy silence. Just did have the get up and go and was way too lazy to make myself do anything outside of work. Enough of the excuses, that’s right! Well hope that the weekend has been good to you, it has been fair with me. Saturday I woke early and took the camera out for a spin and made a trip to the zoo. It was fun, and although I did not come away with anything that the National Geographic would want I am pleased with the results. Most of all I found that I had a blast watching and listening to the kids while they checked out the animals. The looks of awe and wonder in their eyes. The wonderful comments that they make about what they see, smell and hear. It was so nice and refreshing and funny, just made me smile from ear to ear, although at times the smile was way done deep in my heart. I would have loved to capture some of those looks of wonder, but did not point the camera at any child for fear of being labeled a freak or something worse. But if I could have gotten permission I sure would have, those moments can not be staged and they must be captured and frozen the moment it happens. I think and feel that is what photography is about! Freezing, preserving a moment in time, it will not happen again, you can re-stage it but the original moment is history. If I or you are quick and lucky enough we preservethat moment with a camera, that is what I love to do. Also I was invited to BBQ across the creek with dear friends and had a wonderful time, the food was great!! Best damm meal I have had all week, too bad I was unable to get a doggy bag it sure would be nice to have some on day two. But what I had was awesome and thank my friends for letting me share the good food and time with them.
Well I have mumbled enough and want to share some of the photos I got from the zoo. As always I hope that your week is good to you and yours, that a cool breeze be at your back and a warm thought always be in your heart. Make moment in life, maybe I’ll be there to preserve it. Pete

I got you in my sights fella!
