the water is finally beginning to go down, nearly a week after the last rain drops stopped falling. That kind of indicates how much like a sponge the earth really was with 24 of 31 days of rain. Still, there are areas where acres of standing water exist, but the lakes are being opened to anxious boaters and their wakes will not rush water into someones living room like before. There was plenty of that as it was.
With so much rain, it has given me plenty of time to play with camera settings and the mastery of what I have learned is paying off. Every thing in life is a trade off, however. Officially, Texas is out of a five year drought in less than four weeks, but now, with the rediscovered sunshine, temperatures are filling the next seven days with low 90 degree readings. It is June already for sure. Temperatures in the low 90s happen this time of year down here. Here's hoping that the evaporation, which does cool the air, will keep the temperatures out of the triple digits during July and August!

So, since I have worked so hard to refine the
macro of shooting, I did fine some subjects that were a test and some came out well, others came out alright. I'll show you the alright ones here.
