. . . . . is blowin' in the wind. A blustery day in coastal Texas.

Nicely done! I really like the shallow depth of field with very nice bokeh in the background. Everything around here is bent over as well thanks to the never-ending wind. However, it is all brown this year thanks to no rain.

The wind effects are obvious and well presented in this image. The foliage does look stressed. Nice shot. It took some shutter speed to get good image focus on that Cat Tail.

WOW Cuban Cigars on a stick, do they grow wild there?

Hey Todd - thanks for the very kind words! It's dry here, too - but the wildlife refuge is marsh land close virtually on the coast, so it stays pretty wet.

Thank you, Mike.

Yeah, EM - too bad I haven't smoked in decades. Now I'm looking for the plant that produces cans of Budweiser.

The wind has been nearly incessant up here too, though the cattails aren't as far along as yours.
A very appropriately made shot.

Thanks very much!

We've been experiencing unusually strong winds - not totally unwelcome in this sweat box. They can make bike riding tough, however.
