Cibolo Creek Ranch is located just 12 miles from

to “paint” his subjects after the days light has faded.
Participants will learn how to capture the vivid colors
of the desert by stroking their subject with a muted
spotlight while utilizing the shutter control. Limited
enrollment. Contact Cibolo Creek Ranch & Resort at
www.cibolocreekranch.com or 432-229-3737.

Photographing in Ireland
June 26 – July 6 & August 24 – September 3

two tours to Ireland this year. To make the trips more
affordable for anyone wanting to travel with him in
2006, Strabo Tours is offering a $200 discount and
eliminating the single room supplement. That means
a combined savings that just about equals the airfare.
And, with only seven guest bedrooms in the house, it
also means he will be taking fewer people and a more
intimate workshop. Sign up with Jacque at Strabo
Tours at jacque@strabotours.com.
