I chased silver minnows when I was a dirt-knee kid. Those sleek darts were wonders, raised from the sun-lit creek. Insatiable in my pursuit, across beaver dams, deep in black water, scooping up crawdads, chasing dragonflies, and climbing into the ditches and up the hills.

As Bedichek recognized, it is in the ditches and easements where local life thrives against the assault of monoculture.

    "I just added you as a friend. I hope you will accept. Austin is one of my favorite Texas towns. I have never seen its wonders done such justice as your photographs. I am awed by most of them. You're set on water really blows me away. In most of my descriptions of the photographs I can only utter a word or two and they are all in the superlative. It just occurred to me that this might should be posted as a testimonial to your photographs. If you deem appropriate let me know and I will comply."
