Congratulations on your 40th, Ken. I suspect you won't have any problems
remembering it. <g>

>Dan, I experienced the same weather this weekend only two hours north at Lake
>Buchanan. My wife and I drove up to the lake Friday afternoon, got a cabin,
>put the bass boat in the water and went out for about 1 1/2 hours just to
>relax. We later tied the boat up at the dock on water that looked like glass.
>
>I was going to get up early and get some pictures of the sun rising over the
>lake, but thunder and rain convinced me to roll over and go back to sleep.
>Later, when I got up, I found that 2-3 foot waves had broken the boat loose
>from the dock and beached it full of water. With the waves relentlessly
>putting water in faster than I could bail it out, I said to hell with it,
>grabbed a camera and went hunting for Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush
>instead. The sun managed to come out for a couple hours and I found what
>I was
>looking for contrasted against prickly-pear cactus and lots of rock. Even
>found a bunch of vultures (West Texas Tufted Eagles to you people from the
>rest
>of the world) drying their wings after the storm and got some great shots.

>The storm roared its ugly head again and my wife and I got in the car and
>drove
>around the hill country looking for anything worthy of a picture. On the
>south
>end of the lake is a beautiful white lighthouse. I found a good angle but the
>weather rendered everything dull and uninteresting. That was until the sun
>peaked through the clouds just enough to spotlight the lighthouse against a
>menacing sky. That made it worth the trip.

>Sunday morning, with the help of a local charter captain, we floated the boat,
>loaded it on the trailer, and came back to San Antonio. What a weekend. What
>a way to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary.
