Birds are the focus this Tuesday. There are so many different birds that live along the Texas Gulf Coast that multiple Field Guides are required to determine genus and species. Some though are ubiquitous and easy to identify, like the Pelican in the first shot. The second shot is an Egret, another large and easily […]

Docks are the subject in this Tuesday’s image pair. Piers and docks aren’t just fish holding magnets or places to tie up boats, they make for interesting photography. Pilings come in many configurations, cast interesting shadows and offer numerous setups. And docks are always in the water, which reflects and refracts, making it a favorite

This weeks images are from Clear Lake, Texas. Boats are big in Clear Lake and I like boats. Boats are adventure, whether it’s sailing the high seas, rafting a wild river or fishing the flats. When I was young, one of my dreams was being a sailor man and full timing on my own sailboat,

I’m trying something new with “Two for Tuesday.” Photography’s a passion of mine and I’ve diligently worked on the craft for forty years or so and still enjoy learning and trying new things . It occurred to me that with high quality cameras in billions of phones, the world’s already littered with images. Why clutter

Fridays are usually for essays and articles, but we’ve been busy enjoying ourselves and Friday snuck up on us before we could write anything. So, we’re kicking off a new idea a few days early. The images we use on the blog are almost all captured or created by us and to stay motivated to
We escaped from the metroplex a few days ago and all the mind-numbing noises that emanate from the planes, trains, and automobiles; spewing toxic exhaust from screaming engines with horns blaring and sirens wailing. It’s the price that we pay to spend time with our grandkids, and while the constant noise is irritating, the kiddos
I enjoyed an awesome ride a few days ago and was thinking about more of the same, this morning. While watching the sunrise through the window, I noticed that it looked exceptionally calm. So I moseyed out the backdoor to get a little closer to the action. It was indeed a beautiful morning with only
We made it up to Oregon to pick up our little treasure on day 3, right on schedule. He’s even more handsome then we expected. Max was our first French Brittany and he showed us how incredible these dogs are, which is why we made a multi-day road trip to bring Xam into our circle.
No dirt roads lately – on the bike anyway. We did go on a road trip, (in the car). An epic road trip according to our oldest grandson, J.C. who went with us. We picked him up at the airport in Denver and headed west on Interstate 70 across colorful Colorado. Through the Eisenhower Tunnel
One of the things I truly love about this time of year is walking out the back door of the cottage into the cool morning sunshine and harvesting breakfast from the garden. We backed off on the garden this year. It’s a lot of work and we didn’t want to get as tied down as

We’ve always celebrated Fridays, as far back as I can remember. It was the starting line for the race into weekend fun. The spot on the weekly calendar, where we shifted gears from work -a- day, to time to play; or something like that. I think we probably appreciate Friday’s more now in our Golden

Nature provides the sustenance our spirits crave as we journey towards our destiny in the Great Wide World. We should take every opportunity to get out there and explore; learning what she has to teach us. Vickie and I are delving into the possibilities to do exactly that, as we transition into ” The Golden
