Let The Year Begin

New Years Day in Central Texas was cold and wet, with temperatures staying in the 30s.    For some, like Renie Light, in the opening photo, a trip to Lake Georgetown was just the ticket.    I have to admit to an affection for days like this, too.   A positive result of the weather, at least for me, is that it seemed to wipe out my cedar fever allergy issues, always a good thing.   Another inspiring sight was Nick Catron, out for a walk with his dog.   Loaded in that huge backpack was a hundred pounds of rocks.   Nick did this in loving support for his wife, Millicent, who is working hard to conquer her weight issues.   Millicent was not far behind, pushing a well-covered stroller containing their 7-month-old son, Vim.   Miguel Coronado was greeted by an audience of geese upon completion of his run at San Gabriel Park.   And a Great Egret foraged for a meal on a hazy, smoky pond at Berry Springs Park & Preserve.    The cool weather will stay with us Central Texans for another day or so, but that’s okay.    These photos were taken for my friends at the Williamson County Sun.
