The Tree Tunnel to the Bridge
Wandering through the Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden in Nacogdoches, you come across a tree lined path that leads to a wooden bridge over a waterway. The path returns back to the college campus, away from the quiet solitude of the gardens.
Stephen F. Austin
Many colleges or universities have a namesake and a statue of that person somewhere on their campus. Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas is no exception.

A Chinese Snowball
This flower is from the Chinese Snowball tree. The large flower heads start out lime-green before they change to white and they get 6 to 8 inches across. This tree was about twenty feet tall and full of these beautiful snowballs.
Blowing in the Wind, Nacogdoches TX

Well I pretty much only listen to rap music these days but I’m a huge Bob Dylan fan too.  I remember the first time I heard “Subteranean Homesick Blues” and I thought the rhymes sounded like rap verses.  Off the top of my head I can think of three classic Dylan lyics about wind, can you?  The title above is the first one.  I’ll post the other two I have in mind tomorrow.

Back on the subject of rap music, my favorite rapper Jay-Z recently claimed to be “the Bob Dylan of rap,” which only makes him more endearing to me.  He also once said he was “the black Warren Buffet,” the sage of Omaha, so I like his taste in role models!

This shot is from the SFA Arboretum.  Speaking of quotes, there is a Rick Sammon quote that often goes through my head when I'm shooting something like this: "The name of the game is to fill the frame!"  I heard him say it on CreativeLIVE in a workshop that seems long ago now.

Critiques are always welcome.
