I really wish you Texas people would quit rubbing in the fact that you still have warm weather (LOL)!! Send some this way please. Last Saturday I had winter coat, hat, mittens, flannel lined jeans, etc on!! Fantastic image Murry. I too really like the lines, curves and the placement of the fisherman. I don't know if he caught anything but you caught a great image!! #958587
