My old friend Bob - one of our top code breakers at work - told me the other day, with a tad bit of exasperation, that the postings to date were too heavy on wildflowers and too light on water scenes. "I like the water ones the best," he says.
He's absolutely right. So Bob, here's Lake Burton in the headwaters of the Tennessee River Basin, posted amidst an undercurrent of affirmative action accusations and protests of bias from the Farm Scene lobby who have, with the exception of Cow 51, every right to complain. The cool waters in the quiet pool in the foreground will end up in the Gulf of Mexico eventually, in any event.
The request line is always open.

Hey Roy -
I'm back to your blog site. You've heard from the water lobby, and heard from the farm supporters. How about from the autumn leaf color crowd?

Every category has humor, surprise or impact. Sometimes all three. How can that be Doctor Flowers? Love them all.
As great as the photos are... I think the captions are my favorite.

Aah. Just noticed this on my way out the door. I'll be back.

The request line: how bout a picture of Doctor Flowers on the job? Not the shadow portrait which was fun, but a picture of you tending the earth's surface. See, when you have a blog, people stop in with all kinds of impossible requests.
The talking cows and damsels in distress are always great prose. The best blogs, I'm finding out, are all in the South. Storytellers, each one of you.
