Thanks Charlie. When I was there with Tom and Marj, there were lots of cows (and tourists) up in the vicinity of the tree. So as the tourists went back to the buses, the cows hadn't yet returned. It would have been quits a cloning job to clear the foreground.
that does look like a familiar tree and hill country. both look good - what else can I say. . .
we love this tree and Marj and may go up again to shoot next summer.
regards, tom (and marj!)
