**A Very Texas Morning**
I captured this Texas Longhorn, last Sunday Morning, out on the Ranch near our home - The coffee that accompanied this Photo-Shoot was a Starbucks Light Blonde Roast, two raw sugars and a good amount of steamed breve!

Starbucks is roasting blondes? In the raw? What? I knew mermaids did crazy stuff but that is a new one on me! Heehee...You sure know how to show off T*E*X*A*S*, Jeff! This is more than beautiful. Most all of your images could be famous and at the very least famous postcards!
GO FOR IT! :D (And then you can own Starbucks and save the blondes!) Ha!

Well, I'm not sure I can even translate that Starbucks order, Jeff. LOL But I've got to say that the state of Texas should put this on the cover of their tourist book. It's iconic Texas all the way. #10570773Jeff Robinson February 17, 2013

Thank You Marilyn! Jeff #10651331Merna L. Nobile April 21, 2013
Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile
