Too cool video.

Wyman Meinzer's West Texas

http://player.vimeo.com/video/22132017?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0


Quote:
GO FULL SCREEN! SOUND ON.
A WALTZ ACROSS WEST TEXAS

Wyman Meinzer, the Texas State Photographer, used to live in the old jail in Benjamin , Texas .
The photo of the coiled rattlesnake appeared on the cover of a wildlife magazine in the 80's.
He said there were times he crawled a long way on his belly to get a good shot of a wild animal.

The music is by Doug Smith. Doug is from Petersburg , Texas and lives south of town.
Doug plays by ear- He cannot read music, but has many CDs.
A pickup accident left Doug paralyzed and he does not play anymore.

Most of the pictures were taken in the rolling plains (cap rock to Seymour ,
the Fork, 6666, and Waggoner Ranches). There are some scenes in Palo Duro Canyon .

Please take a moment to watch this....I don't know if I've ever come
across such a skillful combination of music and amazing animal and
landscape photography. The changes in the tempo perfectly compliment the scenery.

This is simply a beautiful portrayal of the unique part of our country, Texas .

BTW:My only TEXAS story:

Deep Ellum Texas? Been there done that.

Was in Dallas for a Real Estate Convention.
Riding the bus back to the hotel, I look down on the floor.
A rubber band around a wad of CASH.
Are you ready? $280.00.

So at the hotel drop-off, I wait, then approach the driver to tell him
the story.
He said, KEEP IT!...We turn that in, it will just go to...where ....ever
I said well, if that's the case, let's do something...My treat.
He said Deep Ellum, the name of the club, meet him at the front door.
He failed to mention that my lady friend and me would be the only WHITE people in the club.
Oh yea, he was black. (never occurred to me, he's the bus driver)
BUT, he knew a bunch of people at the club...Shared the $$$$$ story.
SHIT,WE SPENT IT ALL.
That's my story & I'm stickin' to it.

Is this true?

Blue Bell! I want my Blue Bell Coffee NOW! It has not made its way back to Kansas since the recall in 2015. I almost bought some the night before the recall, but didn't make it to the store. Btw, they ruined their Chocolate Chip ice creams when they changed the "chip" formula, imho.
