Making a Photograph...

"You don't take a photograph,

you make it."

Ansel Adams

I recently got a new iPhone 8+.

My friend has a new iPhone 10 and is enamoured

with the camera.  She kept telling me what a great

camera it is and that my iPhone 8 has the same camera.

So...we're walking in our nearby botanical gardens,

and I'm playing with my phone camera.  She shows 

me how to do her favorite..."portrait mode".

I just happen to accidentally put the camera

on Portrait mode, Stage Light Mono....

And voila!!!

OK...I'm a die hard Nikon user 

...and now... 

I'm pretty impressed with my iPhone!!!

Wine Country in Texas???

Driftwood wine tasting...

spoke my language!

Driftwood Texas...who knew it's the wine country of Texas?!!!

On our way to the Salt Lick...the "best Barbecue in Texas"...

we stopped off at the Driftwood winery...

...and found the sign that speaks my language!!!

Add to that...a couple of nice bottles of wine to take with us 

to the Salt Lick!

The Driftwood winery has a lovely outdoor area where you 

can take a glass of wine...or a bottle or two out

to sip while enjoying the view!

Then on to the Salt Lick!!!

Barbecue is serious business in Texas!!!

(BTW...there were 9 of us...and many more of these platters!!!)

waiting to be written."
