Did I Mention A Party?
The Peaty Monster
Prince Peaty got his first “professional” grooming today…and he looks good, smells better, and will probably sleep a whole lot louder tonight! Continue reading The Peaty Monster
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

We Had A Wonderful Visit
While in town last week on business (sort of), I got to spend time with the FS, FDIL, and The FGs Lincoln! Although he didn’t quite know what to think of me since it had been 6 weeks since I last saw (held) him, he warmed up with some wonderful conversation in no time…. We then went for a short walk (from the car to the restaurant), the FS, Lincoln, and me…. Continue reading We Had A Wonderful Visit
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
Weekly Photo Challenge: Above
Every time I’m through Reagan Airport in Washington D.C., I find myself photographing the way-cool roof “above” Look up! See what is “above” the street (an office building in DC) Posting the colors “above” the atrium at the Washington DC Hyatt Regency From 20 floors “above” looking down on, among the other hotel lobby amenities, a piano on an island…if only they had let me showcase my unbridled talent for playing chopsticks. Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Above
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
Burning Quote
“We burn daylight.” – William Shakespeare (My kids hated me saying this when they were growing up, but they obviously had(have) no idea how well read their dad was(is)…hahaha) Continue reading Burning Quote
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
Scottie Sunday
The Princess and Prince wait anxiously for their morning walk…. Continue reading Scottie Sunday
A Minimal but Cool Thing
It is with H-U-G-E appreciation that my newest blog friend, the friend that has me doing fun stuff in learning, seeing, and experimenting with a camera, that I share this link: JunsJazz Images and Inspiration Issue #7. I am humbled being associated with an outstanding group of photographers in all JJ’s online digital magazines. And at the same time I am excited to be one of the featured photographers. Issue #7’s theme is minimalist photography. Gee, I never thought of myself as minimalist (if you’ve ever conversed with me you would know kind of what I’m trying to say) until JJ … Continue reading A Minimal but Cool Thing
