"You got to know when to hold 'em"

Uploaded: March 01, 2011

Description

This month I wanted to try something a little different and start off with images that illustrate a song title or line. I used to take what I would call 'concept' pictures mostly related to gardening which I enjoyed so, to me, this is a little like that. Bobby Ray, I think you'll have fun with this! (I'll give the title and artist in the first comment)

HAPPY TKW DAY, EVERYONE!

Now I'll have to for sure check back each day to see how good I am on music. Maybe if you don't use any new songs II might do okay.
This is a very interesting and an excellent capture!
