Good Night Active Rain: On the Road Again in Huntsville, Texas

Photograph by Joni Staples (C) 2011

I shot this photo while sitting at the red light at SH 75 and I-45 in Huntsville, Texas. The hubby was driving and I rolled down the window and snapped several shots before the light turned green. This one was my favorite because of the semi that is moving down the highway. The funny thing is... when I shot it, I complained to my husband that it messed up my photo!! Well, I was wrong!

♫ like a band of gypsies we go down the highway... ♪

Good night from Texas!

Joni, what a gorgeous shot.  It must be my eyes, but I don't see the semi.

Paula: Yes ma'am. it sure was. And then I read Lindsey's blog that said that March is her 3rd snowiest month. YUCK! Poor Lindsey!

Joni--So this was a camera shot and not a phone.....I never seem to have my camera with me---because my husband has borrowed it.. Phone shots always look lik there is a film over them.  Not your shot!!

Very beautiful! And I can even say that I’ve been to Huntsville. Is that monster Sam Houston still there?

LOL @ Jim! Yes he is! The next time, you need to come to Riverside! :) Russell has been here! I'm pretty sure that he said that he had been to Bethy Creek.

Jennifer: Thank you. And I thought this one was going to be a trash picture!

Thank you, Joshua! It is funny how we think one thing when we look at it on the camera and then another when we see it on the computer!
