Weekly Photo Challenge: Old Fashion
Being old and such a fashionable kind of guy, I thought about putting up a self-picture for the Challenge this week, but I didn’t have one on my iPad…. Continue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Old Fashion”

Ham it up
For several months I’ve been asking folks what do you call people that do odd things in photographs, usually behind the primary subject’s focus. I been told they are “clowns”, “hams”, “_ _ _holes”, and “photo whores”. But of late, I’ve seen them called “bombers”…or maybe I should say the practice of stealing the scene is called “photobomb”. Continue reading “Ham it up”
“Woody” summer shower
An early morning sprinkling of my front lawn gave way to an entertaining few minutes. Sitting down with a fresh cup of coffee and my electronic Sunday newspaper (it’s just not the same as a print copy), I spied a red-headed woodpecker on my Cedar Elm getting a cooling summer shower this morning through the dining room window. I scrambled for a camera – any camera for that matter…I even considered aiming my iPad at him for a minute (funny how you forget where you put them at 6:15 in the morning…well…for some of us that might be a concern). Continue reading ““Woody” summer shower”
Super Saturday
This has been a Saturday unlike others in recent memory.
We had the Hickory Creek Veterans Memorial dedication this morning. That, my limeyfishers, was an impressive service!
It got up to 105° this afternoon. Thankfully I had several hundred photos to go through and upload to Flickr.
Enjoyed an evening of praise music courtesy of the Glengormley Methodist Youth Choir (from Belfast, Northern Ireland). What fun, what inspiration!
And finally for the second night in a row, the Queen and I chased off a family of 4 racoons from our front yard (don’t you know, the Queen is very intolerant of any of her subjects being an nuisance and annoyance). Continue reading “Super Saturday”
Do you think I need one of these?
Perhaps I do…but then again, maybe I shouldn’t.
That’s all I need is another camera, as if the nine working snap-shooters I have won’t do what this does: Turn you iPhone into a DSLR
Hmmmmmm. Continue reading “Do you think I need one of these?”

Naturally
With a Sunday to myself and the temperatures hovering around 100° at 12:30 p.m., guess what?
I went for a hike in the woods….
An afternoon was spent at the Fort Worth Nature Center. I attended a 2-hour talk and walk about North Texas Prairies given by a young lady with an education in prairie management. She works the weekends part time at the Nature Center doing outreach learning and eduction. Me and 7 others braved the heat and got smarter.

Here we go again
Done deal!
Thanks to a simple email question from OFSIL Becky, it got the line cast and look what happened. Everyone got called and sure as a Canadian fishing license, father and sons are trekking back to Canada to try and catch more trophy Walleye this fall!
The four of us will be packing tackle and poles and head off to Halley’s Camps in Ontario!
And even better…OFB Tony gets to join us this time! Continue reading “Here we go again”
Random Day 2
Random stuff
Full moon tomorrow…moon rise is at 8:45. Also if you’re in Africa or Europe Wednesday night, look to the night sky to see a blood-red lunar eclipse – the longest lunar eclipse in 11 years (90 minutes). The U.S. ain’t so lucky. We have to wait until December 10th. This is what we had tonight…and I’m going outside right now to take a picture using the tripod:
Is there such a word as “conservating”? Just asking…. Continue reading “Random stuff”
Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning
Now this is something I’ve got a whole lot of pictures of….
Most of you limeyfishers know how I like my sunrises over the lake. So I went through the 1,000+ photos of sunrises and pick a few favorites. Then I debated on whether to post them in this “challenge”. So I searched a bit more . I may have stretched the challenge (maybe I don’t think so now) by taking “morning” and figuring what pictures I had that showed something happening then.
What cha think?
Putt for Dough
Yeah…more golf. This time clips of our talent and prowness on a golf course:
More Golf Fun from yesterday
I took over 1400 pictures yesterday! This series could go on for a long, long time y’all (just kidding…on the series going on for a long time…maybe a week…OK, maybe not):
