The TGIF Daily Cap(s) (153)
Good Friday morning
The Friday morning gathering of a bunch of quacks….
The first Friday of every June is National Donut Day – shouldn’t that be every day?
The spray park opens on this particular Friday…
A sunflowery Friday morning….
A cool looking shack along the side of the rode on a Friday morning drive-about
I can shoot overexposed butterfly pictures on any day, not just Fridays. (but there is something dramatically appealing about this photo, agreed?)
Even when you’re expected, wandering about the ball park on a Friday morning taking pictures (and not just of goofy shots of me in front of odd signs or eating donuts in the parking lot) certainly brings out inquisitive folks (and cops)…
A Friday morning breakfast picnic at sunrise….nothing beats that
The Friday evening nightcap at Rooster’s….now let’s see here, hmmmm….donut in the morning then a cheeseburger, pulled pork nachos, and a cold beer tonight. No wonder I’ve got a gut ache and my tonnage-loss program has been significantly compromised.
The Morning Daily Cap(s) (125)
I can handle this wake up call any morning it so chooses…
Even the shoreline rocks like a good sunrise…hey wait a minute! Where are all the fishermen this morning?
The Red Daily Cap(s) (117)
A female Cardinal precariously perched on a flimsy wildflower stem yet singing her heart out to me this morning....
You've seen this plant on this blog before: Hot Lips Salvia waiting for bees and butterflies and standing tall for me this morning....
I'm not sure whether it's the simplicity of the photo, the color contrast, or the story that surely goes along with this abandoned chair that caught my attention this morning....
OK, so maybe there is ever a slight hint of red somewhere in the sunrise this morning... (squint and you might see it)
The I’ve-Seen-Things Daily Cap(s) (87)
Oh the things you see when at a complete stop in morning rush hour traffic (besides a nice sunrise)
Oh the things you see in the cultural "public restroom" at the brand spanking newly opened Walmart (pretty swank hallway if you ask me)
Oh the things you can see if you let your vision get a little bit cloudy sometimes...even if it's just for a wee bit of time till you get your focus back
Oh the things you see walking along the boggy side of a creek when you're not so dang concerned about water mocassins or copperheads.
The Odd Daily Cap(s) (83)
This morning's sunrise
The regular crowd shuffles in....
Rippling at the shoreline
And then at lunch...after 30 some years on not playing competitive basketball...I try to keep up with guys about half my age (it was not a pretty thing) (thanks JoeM for taking my camera off my desk and sneaking a few photos...thanks a whole lot)
After all these years I'm still try to show a left-handed game...
And a right-handed game...
Regardless of the handedness, I'm just not very good any more (not that I ever was). But you know last year at this time, there would be no way I could have gone 3 games with these punks. Thank heavens for the tonnage-loss program! Now if only I could do something about the stiff and soreness aftermath...
The Setting Sun Daily Cap(s) (82)
Rather odd clouds over downtown Fort Worth tonight
Cool cloud layering over Alliance Airport tonight
The horizon aglow south of Denton tonight
The last glimpse of sunlight at the University of North Texas campus tonight
The Full Daily Cap(s) (72)
Tired of Spring Flowers yet????
Good Monday morning
A fishing morning this morning....
Patient fishing this morning....
Here come the weedy-looking spring wildflowers...
I think I remember my Grandma having these in the farm yard....
Fort Worth Japanese Gardens in bloom
Fort Worth Japanese Gardens in bloom
Fort Worth Japanese Gardens in bloom
A Japanese Maple at the Fort Worth Japanese Gardens

Took the day off and spent it with the FD (Favorite Daughter) - beautiful day...we had a blast
After today, we feel the same way kiddo!
The Floating Daily Cap(s) (64)
Even on a calm and peaceful and beautiful morning...and the sunrise gives every reason to close your eyes and soak it all in...it's when a duck lands on the water that generates a snort and grunt from within for his lack of grace in so doing.
The Daily Cap(s) (52)
Let's see...gonna make a list: A lake, a sunrise, a man, a shelter, a table, a BBQ grill, and a fishing experience. Is life grand or what?
The Maybe Daily Cap (51)
32 years ago I started singing "You Are My Sunshine" to my baby girl. Whenever she would fuss, I would sing. And miraculously she would stop...most likely from disbelief of such a horrific sound coming from her "pops". As an infant, as a toddler, as an adolscent, as a teenager, as a high school senior, as a college student and grad, as a long-distance caller, and still to this day, I sing her that song! Happy Birthday Sweets! "...you make me happy when skies are gray". (this morning's sunrise pushing away the clouds BTW)
The Daily Cap(s) (43)
I met a drama queen this morning....
The Daily Cap (29)
This Great Blue Heron and I share the morning light several times a week. But it was this morning he showed unusual tolerance of my walkabout to put him between me and the sunrise for this picture...that is until he had enough and took flight.
The Daily Cap (27)
While waiting this morning for the Cardinals, Woodpeckers, Chickadees, and Mockingbirds to wake up, today's sunrise peaks out and lights up a select group of fence row trees (and if look beyond, you see tree tops aglow as well). Pretty cool?
The Daily Cap (23)
The one (and only) good thing about West Texas blowing into town last night is the dust makes for a beautiful sunrise.
The Daily Cap (20)
Leafless trees silhouetted against a sunrise or sunset do it to me every time. This, along with news from home gave some calm to the end of an emotional day...
The Daily Cap (15)
With so much going on at daybreak - geese flying, fishermen fishing, the sun a rising, a chilly nip to the morning air - am I the only one that likes to, as the day awakens and a sunrise warms your face, plug in the headphones and listen to the "String Quintet In e Major: Minuet"? Oh yeah, see there, I figured as much....
