Woodway Park

If there's any time of year when Texas is a nature photographer's paradise, it's during bluebonnet season. This year I decided to expand my normal range and take an overnight trip to the Hill Country to shoot some. Reports a couple of weeks ago indicated things were about to peak, so I booked a room in Killeen and headed out on a Friday afternoon.

Woodway Park Bluebonnets
My first stop was actually in Waco.  I planned my drive to get there just before sunset, and some online research pointed to Woodway Park as a promising destination.  I didn't find huge fields of bluebonnets when I got there, but I did discover this nice patch right on the shore of Lake Waco.

Golden hour side light can make just about anything look good.  When your subject is bluebonnets, it really doesn't take much.

Being on the east shore of the lake, I then had a nice view of the setting sun.  Others had also come out to enjoy the tranquil and serene moment.

See my earlier comment on golden hour side light. :)

I picked my way through some already overgrown shoreline terrain to a spot where a bit of a tree graveyard added some foreground interest as the sun prepared to dip below the horizon.

No clouds in the sky meant there was little twilight color to speak of.  I was satisfied with this appetizer, but I had a fever.  And the only prescription was More Bluebonnets!  So it was back to the car and on to Killeen for some sleep before an early departure to catch sunrise on Saturday!

Jack’s perception equals edit.

The equation you provided seems to involve a set of symbols and concepts that are combined to equal a brain. Here's my interpretation. These represent sensory perception, allowing us to gather information from the world around us. This could symbolize knowledge, enlightenment, or inspiration, as fire has historically been associated with these concepts. This might represent refreshment, renewal, or the continuous flow of ideas. These could represent different cultural perspectives, experiences, or knowledge bases. Overall, the equation suggests that by combining sensory perception, knowledge, renewal, and diverse perspectives, we can foster intellectual growth and develop a deeper understanding of the world. The brain, as the symbol of intellectual capacity, represents the outcome of this combination. However, it's important to note that this is just one possible interpretation, and the meaning of the equation could vary depending on individual perspectives and cultural contexts.
