Shells

From our Good Friday, 2009 visit to Port Aransas. (I'd hoped for a shallower depth-of-field, but am still trying to figure out how to pull off some of those tricks effectively with the PowerShot. One of these days I'll upgrade to a higher-level camera!)

San Marcos River Panorama

One of my favorite spots on the San Marcos River: an island bordered by cypress trees with elaborate intertwined root systems. This is a 4 photo panorama taken from a kayak. (It's better at high resolutions, but I'm too cheap to shell out for the premium Flickr account!)

This was, incidentally, my first attempt to stitch a panorama with the Hugin open-source panorama software. I just basically let it do its automatic thing, and then popped it back into iPhoto to crop it and tweak the exposure settings a bit. It seems to do a fine job.

At A Loss for Words

While wandering an antique store this evening, I came across a case of old lead movable type. Different faces and sizes were all loaded in together, setting my logophile heart aflutter. I was particularly amused after the fact to find the "SOS" in the bottom of the image. (And yes, the letters are backwards. They have to be that way to leave the correct image on paper when you print with them.)

Alien Skull

This was actually just a rock that was mostly embedded in the ground that we spotted on our walk today. We thought it striking enough to be worth a photo, though. Our brains really are remarkably good at identifying faces, even where none actually exists.

Cactus Fruit

One reason I love Texas is because of the startling array of interesting cacti and succulents that dot the state. While on a hike today, I spotted this Pencil Cactus (perhaps -- correct me if you know better) in full fruit. It was especially striking, as it was surrounded by lots of prickly pear that was doing extremely poorly in the cold and drought. I loved the color and the way the light was shining through the fruit in places.
