Description

Evening sunlight, reflected by eastern clouds, turned a weedy marsh into a jewel-toned carpet on Stillhouse Hollow Lake, Bell County, Texas. Record rainfall in 2015 broke a three year drought, once again drowning this old roadway. The exposed road had extended nearly a half mile past this point less than a year ago, along with opportunistic grasses and weeds that had sprouted on the dry lakebed. The lake is now several feet above full pool for the first time in many years, a wonderful sight for local residents.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have been recognized in international photography venues. My photo, "Blue Norther," was selected by the nonprofit Texas Bluebird Society for its 2010 membership announcements. My most requested photo, "Rowers' Arc," was selected as an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4 (http://issuu.com/camerapixo/docs/hotshots-camerapixo-04/1). It has now been published on page 121 in a new book, Camerapixo Photography Awards, Volume 01 (http://camerapixo.com/publications/photography-awards-01).
