William Barret Travis was a leader during the final days of the defense of the Alamo.

In one of his famous letters from the Alamo, Travis stated “The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken — I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls — I shall never surrender or retreat”.

Yes, I posted a picture of my cat. With a flower. I was setting up to shoot the flower, and she wanted to play.

For those that care about these things – I used an SB-800 flash at camera left, firing through an umbrella.
