POW 3-7-2012

For those of you that follow or happen across this blog, please know I do an email distribution of odd, funny, peculiar, and sometimes cool photos discovered throughout any given week. Most of the photos are of signs, or drive-by and/or while-driving observations. Now please understand, I’m not always regular (probably a poor choice of word there) with my POW (Pictures Of the Week) emails. I’ll try to be more consistent, and by posting here we’ll see if that so moves me to be better about my regularity.

These photos are different (at least up to this point in time) than “The Daily Cap” series. And for those of you already on the email list that also read my blog, you get POW’d twice….

1/28/2012: Carrollton, Texas

I’m not sure whether the wind blew away the rest of the signs, or if this is it…”as” if this will make be stop and shop cars, right?

POW 10-10-2011

9/26/2011: Hwy. 121 southbound through Grapevine, North Richland Hills, and Hurst Texas (yes, I was tailing him for about 5 miles for the photo)

Of all the million cars in DFW on any given weekday morning commute, what are the odds I get passed by the truck I used to own?

POW: 6-3-2011

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….

POW 11-9-2010

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)

POW 10-29-2010

For those of you in the DFW area, the Alliance Air Show is this weekend…free to the public but $20 to park. The Blue Angels in F/A 18 Hornets (Navy), Raptors-Vipers-others (an Air Force Heritage show) flying F-22’s, and the Golden Knights parachutists (Army) will be performing, among others.

I was lucky enough to watch the Blue Angels practice late yesterday (Thursday) afternoon from the parking lot of the Cabela’s (right across from Alliance Airport). Go if you can this weekend…

Sorry these are a bit out of focus – they sure do move fast and I got much too excited to be taking pictures:

POW 10-13-2010

So…several of you have expressed your preferences and I’m pleased to say POW (Picture Of the Week) will continue it’s email distribution. But I will most likely post to the blog as well. Thanks for your input.

10/10/2010: My backyard – it’s that time of year for butterfly migration (or flutter-by if you prefer)

 

Thanks to attentiveness of Zoey the Princess Scottie, I may not have noticed the brown butterfly sunning on my tan bricks Continue reading “POW 10-13-2010”
