Sunday afternoon I sat in my chair reading a book when I heard what sounded like little footsteps over my head. I then heard them again, so I went out to see what it was. I was hoping I didn’t have a critter in the attic and it was just something on the roof. When… Read More What’s On My Roof?
September is here and it is bearable outside in the day now. I go out hiking and often bring my camera to see what I can get. None of these photos are stunning, but nice enough to hit the shutter button I think. All of these photos were shot with a Nikon Z50, which is… Read More Some Hiking Photos
I go out for walks in the early morning and sometimes bring my camera in case I find something to photograph. The animals are often more active at dawn and I can get some good shots. On Saturday morning I found a big white egret at the pond that wasn’t too afraid to let me… Read More Some Fauna and Flora
I had Friday afternoon off, the weather was nice, and I needed to get out and do something. It had rained heavily the day before and I didn’t feel like getting muddy somewhere so I decided to go and hike around downtown Austin. The forecast originally called for heavy cloud cover so I had planned… Read More Austin in the Afternoon
Sunday afternoon was good for hiking, and the clouds gave the possibility of a nice sunset. I also wanted to shoot some photos with my old film camera that I recently got fixed up. I don’t have any photos from the film camera yet as I am still working on this roll of film. But… Read More Nice Afternoon for a Hike
I went to one of my favorite hiking spots and discovered that some of it had been burned. I don’t know if this was a controlled burn or a wild fire. I do remember seeing a lot of smoke in the sky a couple of weeks ago and I wonder if this was the source.… Read More Fire at the Hiking Trails
I went back to my foot bridge and tried to make a nice sunset photo. There were a few high clouds to catch some pink-orange light from the sun. But the light didn’t last long. I tried to shoot at an angle that gives a view across the bridge down the path but still incorporated… Read More Sunset at a Foot Bridge
The Bee and the Rat Snake It’s been very hot and very dry here. Nothing is terribly photogenic right now and it is difficult to get motivated to go out somewhere in all this heat. But I have tried to take a few photos while walking around in the mornings and evenings. Some of the… Read More A Week of OK Photos
I have two photos that I recently took that I kind of like but I didn’t know what to do with. They aren’t part of a theme or anything, so I will just post them here. The first one is a sunflower in front of the setting sun. I tried to line up the sunflower… Read More Two Random Photos
I woke up early the next couple of days trying to find another magical beach sunrise, but the clouds were really not cooperating. Wednesday morning the sky was clear and Thursday morning there were some thick clouds on the horizon. My plan on this morning was long exposures to smooth the waves with a sunrise… Read More Morning on the Beach
