Hey Creative Types! I am in San Antonio now. My wonderful niece who is about to graduate from high school this Spring takes great pics. The carnation is one taken at the Botanical Gardens in SA. And the second pic is my niece with her dog Hercules- capturing the same expression! She is an accomplished artist. I will send you another pic of her drawings soon. I am very proud of her. Love Dolores

Bare tree on a cool, sunny winter day at the lake


Hi friends. I took this picture at White Rock last weekend. I like the starkness of the bare tree, the hardscrabble earth in the foreground, the brooding, dark clouds overhead, and the steely light reflecting on the water. It all made for a simple composition that seemed to work.

Kids performing and being safe. The black and white shot was taken in another city, but I have seen something similar before and I NEVER WANT to see it again. The arts can do a lot.

Working with summer camps at an inner city rec. center. I love teaching these. It is one of the few places in Dallas where kids of all colors work together and have fun.
