Christmas in Bandera County is a truly special time in a special place. Running around the county on an almost-daily basis to take photos of all the wonderful holiday events and fundraisers is an exhausting pleasure. There are so many stories, and so much good being done at this time of year in the county, and it’s my honor to be a part of it all through photos.

With that, fresh photos have now been posted to the Bulletin’s DotPhoto.com account.

The Bulletin has taken me off of sports coverage duties to concentrate on Christmas events in December, but I will make every effort to get out and shoot some basketball action for Bandera.net.

Right now I’m blogging from outside of the Bandera County Courthouse, waiting to photograph the Cowboy Christmas parade! Should be a fun show!
