If you want to get a decent breakfast when camping out in Big Bend, you can drive in to the town of Terlingua. There are a few restaurants in Terlingua, but not much open for breakfast. La Posada Milagro is open and has good TexMex breakfast food. The dining is all covered patio outside, which… Read More Ghost Town
I have been planning another trip to Big Bend National Park as there are photographic ideas that I want to try and hiking trails that I haven’t been on yet. So last weekend my oldest daughter and I went and camped a couple of nights and I tried to get some of these things done.… Read More The Balanced Rock
Thursday evening there was finally a cloud or two in the sky and I thought I might get some nice photos so I went hiking at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I initially hiked up the Rimrock trail to some overlooks to see what the view looked like, but I didn’t find it very compelling… Read More Sunset Photos – No Sky Replacement
I did a little hiking at the Warbler Vista area of Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I don’t usually come to this area as it doesn’t have as many trails as the Doeskin Ranch area, but it does have some nice overlooks. It was a cloudy day, but I hung around until after sunset anyway… Read More Sunset at Warbler Vista

So, I gathered up my gear and headed out to Balcones Canyonlands for some photos. As I was… Read More Freezing Sunrise
It was a damp and foggy morning. We don’t really get a lot of foggy mornings around here and I have kind of been waiting on one to practice shooting in. The fog can hide what’s in the distance in a photo and leave a little mystery for the viewer or it can simplify a… Read More A Foggy Morning in the Park
The first couple of weeks of this year I have barely picked up my camera. I have been busy reorganizing my house as I now have my own office, which I am happy about but it has been a lot of work. We also had a rare (once in a decade) snow storm with a… Read More What to do in January
I went hiking this morning out at Balcones Canyonlands Doeskin Ranch area. It was kind of one more free morning to go hiking before I go back to working tomorrow. There were quite a few people out there hiking and enjoying the morning, including one relentless trail-runner that must have been in amazing shape as… Read More Sunday Morning Hike at Balcones Canyonlands
