Galveston TX Sunrise by Barbara Burns

Today’s featured art is Galveston TX Sunrise 2 by Barbara Burns

I love to walk along the beach at sunrise – it is so lovely and not full of people … you can hear the surf … you can hear the birds … you can hear yourself think.

I love these clouds with the sun coming up behind them. Just out of camera sight, a seagull landed just as I snapped this picture – his wings were flapping and he squawked at me – startled me so much I dropped my coffee cup! I was glad that I had finished drinking my coffee so I didn’t get soaked in coffee!

Cactus in the Hills by Paul Huchton

Today’s featured art is Cactus in the Hills by Paul Huchton

Until I moved to Texas, I had never seen cactus growing anywhere except as a potted plant. From watching western movies as a kid and an adult, I knew they grew wild … but

knowing something and experiencing it can be very different animals. I love to see cactus growing along the highway, in the edge of a field or as landscaping around someone’s home.

These are gorgeous when seen in photographs and they are even better in person … unless you touch them … don’t do it! They do hurt!

I like the frame and mat the photographer has chosen – it emphasizes the landscape and the greens and yellows – the image pops right out at you and grabs ya saying “Look at me!”
