Texas, My Texas

Although I've always been interested in photography, I never took any sort of class until this year.  I'm learning a lot, especially about Photoshop.  Anyway, our first project was to create a montage of photographs.  I decided that I wanted mine to be Texas themed.  Texas is a great state with friendly people, rich history, and the most beautiful skies I've ever seen.  So without further ado, enjoy my subtle tribute to...
