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.
Some friends are real turkeys
Weekly Photo Challenge: Refreshing
Water always comes to mind first…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Worn
Hmmm. All sorts of ideas and imagination stretching to meet the “challenge” this week:
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
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?
Take a Hike
Hey y’all! Today is National Trails Day…can you believe it? Have you gone out and hiked or biked a trail yet?
Well I did. This morning I hip-wiggled into my flattering padded tush biking shorts, pumped up the tires and took off for a 6-mile ride on a City trail along the lake edge.
It will never cease to amaze me the things you can see and hear when you’re not motoring. I will always appreciate the natural stuff and truly let its grasp take hold of me. That is until I happen upon a snake (or vice versa).
If that were to happen (a snake and me encounter), well…I’m either going to pity the snake for the panicked wild man wrath about to be unleashed upon it…after the fact, or if someone is with me heaven forbid they get in my way during a hasty, Katy-bar-the-door, asses-n-elbows, Monty Python “run away” retreat. Did I ever mention when confronted by a snake, the kind of snake makes no difference, this blogger can run a whole lot faster than he can bicycle? “Drop the bicycle and RUUUUUNNNNNN!”
But there were no snakes seen today (and you thought you were gonna get a Tim-got-scared snake story didn’t ya? HA!).

Pictures for the Week
4/9/2011: at a stop light somewhere (maybe it was Grapevine)
I must admit it does bother me some that a preachy window sticker like this one is prominently displayed in the back window of this guy’s car. Maybe it was a disgruntled mood moment for me: we were both at a standstill in our cars during rush hour traffic that was going nowhere when I saw this….
Weekly Photo Challenge: Water
My apologies to the faithful limeyfishers…some of these you’ve seen before. Hope you don’t mind the repeat for this week “challenge”
What’s buggin’ me
I don’t know what’s up with me and bugs lately, they always seem to find the flowers I’m taking pictures of.
Memorial (Sun)Day
Weekly Photo Challenge: Tiny
It took me a while to get into a tiny frame of mind (don’t know why that was so difficult), but alas…tinyness:
Weekly Photo Challenge: Red
Of course I have “red”….
Oh what a weekend
Saturday Morning: bird at play
Same old, same old
Apologies are extended for my ever so brief outburst of political common sense posting Thursday.
At the suggestion of two of my most vocally faithful limeyfishers, I am back to hugging the trees and taking in life as it presents itself. Bec and Em, what was I thinking? The same old, same old post content is so much more fun, more fun…..
Weekly Photo Challenge: Round
You know me, I’ve certainly got some roundness….
Rise and shine you cute ones
This morning, for the first time in about 2 weeks (maybe more), we finally had a sunrise visible to those of us that enjoy sunrises and look forward to each day’s arrival….
The fisherman, both human and aviarian were out; the morning temperatures were cool, the air refreshing,
As my massage therapist told me yesterday – yes I got a fourth cupping during a 1-hour session, and yes again, Tony is working wonders on this big ol’ body of mine – saying “you go to the sunrise for a reason…you just may not realize what it is yet”. That’s another blog post for sure!
In the mean time, know that I enjoyed today’s sunrise over Lewisville Lake, as did this young family…. Continue reading “Rise and shine you cute ones”
To and from and about
It was a round trip of 730 miles to go to the Texas ASLA State Conference this past week. That can be a long adventure for a landscape architect, especially when driving by yourself – do you know how many cool detours are considered “scenic” and “on the way’…not to mention the seven “Exit Dairy Queens” spotted along IH45. Camera at the ready!
It’s always good to get to the coast even if you have to travel through tornado warnings and dread the lousy Houston traffic is between you and the coast (and then you and home). In Galveston, the effort was made to hit Gaido’s for lunch – a long, long time restaurant beacon of the Island. The Pelican Club (a private club behind the public restaurant) was closed so I didn’t get to see its remodel – the wait staff told me about it however. Sadly, the Club’s Maitre d’ Bruce and Julio have both died since the last time visited, probably some 10 years ago…they were pleasant fellows for sure.
Hurricane Ike can still be seen and felt around the Island 2 1/2 years later. But Galveston is bouncing back – good times through bad times!
