I spent the day at Sequoyah State Park and Lodge in Hulbert, in northeastern Oklahoma (I won’t bore you with reasons why unless asked, but will say it is a lot of driving for a 1 day trip). This met me as I was leaving…not bad, huh?
With the actual sunset off to my left, the mirrored cloud reflection on the water (Fort Gibson Lake) reminded me of a painting…and I about fell in the lake getting this photo due to sheer clumsiness….
These pictures from yesterday aren’t too bad considering the pace of a brisk evening walk, a quickly draining iPhone battery, and an impatient leashed Scottish Terrier (that would be none other than the Princess Zoey). I used an HDR app on the iPhone to take these photos.
I stopped counting the number of colors in the sky after 15
If you look real close – and I mean put your nose on the screen close – you can make out the sliver of moon right over the tree tops
This picture has the moon and tree tops again…and a jet streaking across the sky…
Ya know, maybe I should sell my big cameras and use my iPhone camera more often (yeah right). :)
Why is it that I never tire of these kind of photos? Is it the story told of the simplicity of life, or is it the simplicity of the photograph….hmmmm, I wonder

Fishing at sunset….
Fishing ripple effect….
This morning’s light….
This evening’s light….
Almost dusk – kind of looks like an oil painting, huh?
A slow shutter speed and a shaky hand gives an interesting light to a holiday display….
Sometimes you CAN find a bit of fall color in north Texas….
Calling it a night….
The last glimpse of sunlight…
Yard lights reflect across the cove….
The guard shack at night….
Spent the day in Denton (Texas) today…this Canna was singing to me: “I will survive….”
One of the guys in the office came running back to me this afternoon and simply said “Look!”. I did, said “Oh!”, and took a picture….
And by the time I got outside the office building, I had this sky to photograph….
Wait a minute…would you hire the sign company with a sign in need to a sign?
The Veterans Memorial, Hickory Creek Town Hall at sunset. Thank you Vets.
The U.S., POW/MIA, and the flags for the five branches of the military fly all day, every day at Town Hall.
Oh No! Tell me it ain’t so! Christmas has arrived at local shopping malls….arrrgghhh, bah humbug (and the leaves aren’t even off the trees yet)
Oh yes! Serenity now!
This morning.
This evening.
So long Daylight Savings Time (why do they mess with us like they do?)…the days are getting shorter and the sunset has moved south on the horizon, all that means is my timing is way off and I need to scope out new vantage points for evening picture-taking.
The fisherman were also struggling with the earlier sunset, I think….
Heading to the boat ramp….
The water even took on a partially frozen look….
These two weren’t, but they certainly were watching…the fishing.
Tonight’s sunset casts a false autumn color to the foliage of this stand of oaks….
My o’ my, how wonderful the sunset can paint a tree so effortlessly….
Westward looking at sundown in west Fort Worth….
oops…..I just know those dang “manual” camera settings think different from me on purpose
The Tarrant County Courthouse at dusk
A Tuesday night middle school game along my commute home route (the team in red was leading 24-0 in the 3rd quarter). BTW, it is well known that football is king in Texas but I checked…those are not luxury suite windows in the end zone.
Great clouds this evening….
Billowy…
The southeast edge of downtown Fort Worth – a great mix of architecture!
I love what the first 48° morning of the fall does for the ducks on/at the lake…splashing around, having a good time, in formation even if not flying, all heading the same direction as a team….
Then, as if on cue, they do an about-face and head off in the other direction….ohhhh and some – the rebels in the bunch – begin to get restless….
They begin to scatter and everybody gets all stirred up….and just like that (finger snap now), they’re off!
And sure enough, my Scissortail buddy just watches all this quackiness….
He bops around from perch to perch until he too says “enough” and takes off, leaving me pointing a lens into the bright morning sunrise
The evening and sunset highlights a few way-cool clouds (and yes, that’s me driving down the freeway taking pictures – don’t tell me insurance agent please)
A beautiful sunset, from the same vantage point where the ducks were frolicking this morning…(I love the “folds” in the clouds)
See you tomorrow!
Watching the sun set tonight, I wondered if this guy likes them as much as me….he certainly wasn’t doing much fishing.
It goes so fast. A mere two minutes later the day took on a whole different light….
100° to 105° all week…we need that cold front (we’d even take a cool one at this point) to get here sooner than later
It’s coming….show a little patience
And everyone (person and birds alike) are getting off the lake before the north winds kick up
The sunset tonight was quick and one that only a true sunset-lover might appreciate…(it looks like I may have been about 5 minutes late getting set up for the photo tonight)
But it was a good thing I got up this morning and messed around with the spectacular sunrise….
And yesterday’s Blue Moon was still in the morning sky as the sun was coming up…so she afforded me another photo before the sunrise showed face (how many moon shots can you post before it gets ho-hum?)

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.
