Of all the days today could be…
…it ends up being Squirrel Appreciation Day. Gee Whiz I missed it. Yup, I had my slingshot at the ready and could have taken aim.
The National Wildlife Federation came up with the nuisance idea. What were they thinking? Huffington Post gave it some press – the photos at the bottom of the webpage link are worth checking out regardless of your tolerance level for the ornery mammals.
The Wolf Moon
The Colonoscopy followup
Perhaps my favorite from my growing goofy sign collection of pictures….
Many of you have read and commented on the EHR: Colonoscopy Journal posting – this photo (in Fort Worth) seems only fitting.
Many of you have already seen this photo, but it is worthy of another look (note the business sign on the left, then read the sign on the right)…then grab your ankles….ugggghhhhh Continue reading “The Colonoscopy followup”
Sign Sign, Everywhere a Sign
It seems like every day of the week I get another of my way-too-many e-newsletters related to my profession, sometimes only ever so remotely related to the things I do (or better said: “want to”…maybe “should do”). So many I get that sometimes a quick click of the “X” in the toolbar without even a quick look-see is done just to keep the ol’ inbox manageable in size. And here’s the bad thing…unless I skim through them for any thing of interest, I usually feel bad deleting them unread as if some person had really taken the time to compose, then send the email to me personally.
A Lunch Party’s Family
Remember a few days ago…a post about my co-worker and friend’s lunch party had in celebration of his passing the P.E. exam? A Lunch Party
Let it snow
We certainly don’t get this very often. Nor do we Texans like to drive in it. Tomorrow’s commute ought to be very interesting.
It started about 10:30 this morning as I was coming out of church…it lasted until 3:00. When it was all said and done, a measly 1″, maybe 1.5″ at the house is all we got.
But it still is “cool” to get the snow. It makes for great comic relief sometimes…other times a sticky snow does wonders for photographing a Post Oak.
My Best Shot(s) of 2010
I took a whole bunch of pictures…I’m talking a big ol’ bunch of pictures last year (and the year before had around 15,000 snapped for that matter).
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 19,000 pictures are stored on my computer (and backed up on two different portable hard drives) that have a 2010 date. So what the heck, I took took a stab at a Top 50 list. Let me know what you think.

I hope everyone had wonderful holidays with family and friends. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
12/17/2010: Tim’s backyard
Meet Madam Santa Mackie, the Queen of Scots – she’s really exercising a great deal of patience and tolerance of my “you’re so clever” photography right now
New Year, New Look, New Directions
Happy 2010 to most everyone (just kidding…). It comes at a time on renewed enthusiasm and knowing the need to “finish” is most important…as was the teaching/sermon today Denton Bible Church (that will be a “Thump” post coming soon). So I wish you celebration, good times, and prosperity beyond the pocketbook. New Year. Continue reading “New Year, New Look, New Directions”
Good Night 2010
And here is the last sunset of the year… Continue reading Good Night 2010
They Look, they see, they watch…something
Mackie and Zoey, the royal Scots of the house, were caught peering out the dining room window while soaking up a bit of early morning sunlight. I’m thinking they really do kind of like each other but are too proud to show it.

The Last Good Morning…
…of the year. 2010 ended with subtle sunrise so I went about capturing it’s sleepy awaking at a totally different spot this morning (a bit further away than usual…about 2.5 miles from the house).
The moonrise wasn’t too far ahead of the sunrise this morning. And the ducks were restless – we must have a change in the weather headed our way in north Texas.
Totally lunar
It was a cool night and the moon was a center stage all night long. A lunar eclipse on the day of winter solstice – one that last happened in 1638. The next time it occurs on the solstice will be in 2094, according to NPR. BTW, the YouTube below is not mine.
I got the sunrise and moon set this morning…that in itself was kind of cool as I kept switching from the east, 180° to the west, and back and forth and back and forth, messing with different camera exposure settings. Whew, already tired…. Continue reading “Totally lunar”
Me and those dang sunrises
December 17, 2010 sunrise and wildlife at Lewisville Lake…just a mile or so from the house.

With this sponsor and promotion, it kind of makes you want to stay home on opening day, huh?
POW 11-18-2010
10/10/2010: University Drive (U.S. Hwy 380) at the Grandy’s in Denton, Texas
You’re lawfully stopped at the red light in the only lane that somehow warrants two traffic lights and apparently you need to be told your directional driving options are unrestricted…so why not put up a sign that essentially says “do whatever you want”?
POW 11-9-2010 Start and Finish
11-9-2010 proved to be picturesque in north Texas.
The SUNRISE was captured peaking over the horizon at Lewisville Lake; that show was just as spectacular…

9/26/2010: Edgewood, Texas
OK, the point is we always need to thank our “Veterans”, and take every opportunity to do so. But know this pet shop’s intentions were in the right place thanking our “Vet-rans” (oh the irony of it all), and also for selling kitties cheap (and ya gotta love the home town creativity of having a Science Diet cat food bag promote the sale)
Good Morning Tuesday
Really, it wasn’t such a bad way to start the day. Even the morning weather man commented on what a particularly beautiful sunrise we had going on.
