Oh Those Blooming Texas Wildflowers
Walkin’ The Line
Somewhere out there I reckon there is a mighty fine country song just right for this picture…. Continue reading Walkin’ The Line
Morning Blossoms
Bridge Over (Un)Troubled Waters
OK. I admit this photo was taken traveling 65 mph, the car window down, traversing over a large body of water (for inland Texas anyway), in traffic, and with one hand…but the hot air balloon next to a setting sun was just too much (good) to ignore. Under bridge in Austin – oh the things you see and notice (not to mention the occasional pedestrian passing by on the other side) Continue reading Bridge Over (Un)Troubled Waters
Walking a Neighborhood in Bloom
My backyard Sour Cherry Tree (and not another pollinator anywhere close that I know of) Sneaking a picture of neighbor’s Daylily (this took some “stealth photography” exercises in order not to alert the yappy dogs of my encroachment) Petunias greet the postman every Spring day next door… I’ve had these Spiderlilies at my front door for many years, although the blooms get less each year as my trees give too much shade (a Jamaican gardener I once knew called these “Trashy Ladies”…he had his reasons and I’ll leave it at that) Why is it a rose – or that by … Continue reading Walking a Neighborhood in Bloom
Here Comes Spring
Hang on while I look this up (I really should know it without having to do that) The neighbor-down-the-street’s Prickly Pear is showing a spring awakening The fish must be “runnin’”! By my count (and mental math) this is nearly 3.2 poles per fisherman…all within arm’s reach or a few steps from each other. Continue reading Here Comes Spring

Spring Already?
Surprised? Nawww, not these two youngens…the mild temps had them a bit playful and with the Scottie Princess Zoey whimpering at them, at my side, gave me a momentary pose of curiosity to capture…. …that is until they go and do something like this! What did they think this was, Valentine’s Day or something? The Princess and I just looked at each other in disbelief after this oh-so-brief public display of affection (trust me on this – Scotties know these types of things should not be a common, every day occurrence). Continue reading Spring Already?

The Front Cometh
A cold front rolled through Fort Worth this afternoon. I am always impressed with the intimidation of nature…maybe that’s why I’ve always wanted to storm chase and by all means, fly into the eye of a hurricane! In the meantime, this will have to do…. Same photo, but with a bit of iPad Snapseed app tweaking. I do like this photo editing much better (although the original was somewhat impressive in it’s own right)…the photo takes on a more angry persona in keeping with an approaching, imposing storm front, don’t you think? BTW, this photo was taken with my iPhone, … Continue reading The Front Cometh
Weekly Photo Challenge: Beyond
Since I posted so many dag-gum photos last year, I went back a a couple years and found so other photos that might…could work for this week’s photo challenge. At least that way, you long-time followers may have forgotten about some of these. And you know me, I cannot share just one photo: Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Beyond

52 Sky (maybe)
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 Continue reading 52 Sky (maybe)
