Stark Beauty

No Killer Campaign post today. A good friend of mine died suddenly and we are still reeling from the shock. He was my age and in better shape than any two people I know.
.
I leave you with a photo of our acreage in semi-tropical Southeast Texas. We've had the occasional freak snow, but never like this. It's beautiful, yet fleeting. It'll be 70 degrees this weekend and all this will be a memory.
.
It seemed apropos for my friend who loved photography and took many such pictures of his own.
.
Rest in peace, Richard.

Sorry about your friend, Maria. It's shocking when someone in good shape dies suddenly like that.

Your photo is beautiful. I wish I had any confidence our snow would melt before March.

Thanks guys.

The last we heard they think Richard died of a brain embolism. No one saw it coming.

Daw: Our snows are rare and fleeting. You can't see it in such a small format, but in the middle of the shot at the very far end there is a deer darting away.

So sorry to hear about this. My good friend's husband was killed in a car wreck 2 weeks ago. I understand the shock and disbelief. It makes life all that much more precious.

How true. I still can't believe Richard is gone.
