On her 78th birthday, the FS introduces Lincoln to his Great Grandma, the lady he will get to know from the stories, photos, and memories we share with him. Something tells me she’s OK with him standing here playing with the memorabilia others have left…and she would be fine with him playing here for just about as long as he wants.
Somewhere out there I reckon there is a mighty fine country song just right for this picture….
New leaves emerge from a volunteer Red Oak in my fence row. One of these days the tree or the fence has gotta go…but I will wait till that one day comes.
It is with H-U-G-E appreciation that my newest blog friend, the friend that has me doing fun stuff in learning, seeing, and experimenting with a camera, that I share this link: JunsJazz Images and Inspiration Issue #7.
I am humbled being associated with an outstanding group of photographers in all JJ’s online digital magazines. And at the same time I am excited to be one of the featured photographers.
Issue #7′s theme is minimalist photography. Gee, I never thought of myself as minimalist (if you’ve ever conversed with me you would know kind of what I’m trying to say) until JJ captured a number of my photos. Yup…he’s right alright. I am a photographing minimalist.
JunsJazzImages is one of a handful of my “following” blog sites I check before the WordPress Reader or my email alerts me of a new post. If you are at all interested in photography, JJ’s website will do your talent a world of good.
Thanks JJ for letting me share a moment with you on your stage.

Sorry y’all. I got started and didn’t really want to quit on this challenge….
A fleeting moment….
My kids…some 30 years ago. Wow.
FD and FSoIL – wading in a cold stream during Christmas vacation a few years back
My father-in-law while opening his Christmas gifts last year (oh how I hope he doesn’t see this…)
A hot air balloon makes an emergency landing down the street…
An approaching storm
The guys at our 35th high school reunion last fall…oh my how time has fleeted
A brown bear (with a blond strip down her back) in Canada last fall – I was ready to flee in a heartbeat
My brothers and Dad after a shore lunch in Canada last fall (they didn’t know I took this photo…and I’ve often wondered what they were saying to each other)
Bald Eagle looking to snatch something….
A young couple…taking in the moment
Kids at the water’s edge….
A pending happy family reunion at the airport
In passing one should take in the view….
You’ve got to be quick…and lucky sometimes
The respect and silence is humbling….
Another fleeting magic moment…
Fort Worth Botanic Gardens: a common and frequent guest of the Park
Fort Worth Botanic Gardens: a rainbow of “wild” colors
Fort Worth Botanic Gardens: complimentary (colors) in nature
Fort Worth Botanic Gardens: I finally gave up and left before this guy did….
Cowboy boots and goloshes
Military and Boy Scouts...Marines and Navy
Golfing and Dancing (OFB TR doing the trick)
Basketball rivals and "having your back"
Wildflowers and Weeds
(A family favorite photo of mine) Father and Son (OFB Tony) in opposite directions (ya think they had words or something?), and different hats, and club-apparent club-not, and cigar-with cigar-not
I met a drama queen this morning....
So last night I got an iMac – the smart alec FS asked whether Mr. Gates knew about this. It was a decision mostly made due to something about a having 98% full PC hard drive, enduring a lengthy (and frightful) “windows startup repair” exercise run the night before, and a mouse that no longer moused…
This morning, after re-edge-u-ma-cating myself in keyboard keystrokes to make software work, I started the process of “migrating” my iTunes from the old to the new computer. You think I have enough music?
With this exercise in computerese, my The Daily Cap photo may be delayed today y’all…but wait, this may be my “The Daily Cap” today – hmmmmmmmm
I'm almost certain this is a collection in need of another camera....
Hang in there Dad!
Makes me wonder if Bluebirds really play "tag, you're it"
This guy ended up being great entertainment this morning, giving me several minutes of watching his song and dance...as if he were trying to attract just that right lady-bird or something
I'm still trying to find something wrong with this morning's sunrise, and I just can't...not even on this, a Friday the 13th
Remembering the days when she could "launch"
It can sometimes be loney when you stand too far out from the crowd (1/4/2011: southbound IH35W, south of Denton Texas)
Ironicially, today just so happens to be the Iowa Republican Caucas. I would imagine many political opponents to the former Massachuetts governor can most likely relate to this...this...message. But wait...is this all the Governor's doing towards them? (1/3/2012 during the morning commute @ southbound Hwy121 in Fort Worth)
1/2/2012 Home: The Royal Princess Zoe(bird) says "yo dude! do we really have another 362 days of this picture-taking blog goal crud?"
Last year Limeyfish.com embarked on an ambitious ”postaday” quest with this blog. And it did OK with it. Frankly, there was concern that y’all would tire of the incessant bantering and the geez-is-this-guy-always silliness. Apparently, y’all must not have minded too much being too exposed.
I came up a bit short in achieving the goal needing a minimum of one daily post. This blog had 363 posts for the year…but know this: that is a bit misleading. A mere 2 days of blogging were not missed for the year. I had several multiple-posts days in 2011. My guess is I missed out on maybe 15 days in 2011 of not getting a post posted. Dang it!
Oh well, right?
So this year another goal with this blog has been set!
Believe it or not, I’m photo’d out…for the year.
And it has been yet another active year exercising the Canon, FugiFilm, and on occasion, the in-a-pinch iPhone camera.
In looking back at my 2011, I see that I did a lot of birding and flowering with the photos taken (or at least those that are my “favorites”). And I certainly threw in a few sunrise/sunset photos…after all, what would a set of my pics be without those kind of photos?
Take a look – let me know what you think. This has been a fun year and it has taken me several places in order to capture the handful of photos here and there…and along the way.

i'll now never forget
I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
