It was Sunday afternoon and I went for walk and I looked at the clouds as I often do and eventually got the notion that there could be a fantastic sunset. So, I turned around and headed back home to grab my camera backpack and head to the river. I wanted to get to the… Read More Clouds and Stone
It’s a late Thursday afternoon in April. With the limits on gathering and socializing mostly lifted, the wildlife refuge is once again mostly abandoned even though the wildflowers are screaming for attention. Hearing their call from across the county, I headed out with my camera. The first two photos below are all about the Indian… Read More It’s All About the Wildflowers
On Saturday I did a little hiking on the Mule Ears trail in Big Bend National Park. I had never been on this trail before, but it seemed interesting. It is basically a hilly hike through the desert in the general vicinity of the Mule Ears, which is a jagged cliff that I suppose looks… Read More Mule Ears and Sunset
In Big Bend National Park there is a feature called The Window, which is an opening in the mountains surrounding Chisos Basin. The Window is on the west side of the basin so it is an interesting place for a sunset. There is also a hiking trail that takes you down to The Window if… Read More Big Bend: The Window (both sides)
After taking the foggy morning pictures at Canyon Lake, I decided to return for sunset. It wasn’t shaping up to be a fantastic sunset, but it was something to do. Finding shorelines around the lake that I could easily access was a bigger problem than I had foreseen. Many of the parks were closed, which… Read More Sunset at Canyon Lake
There is a stone gazebo at an overlook at Bastrop State Park and I hurried to try to get there at sunset one evening and arrived just as the sun was hitting the horizon. I noticed that I could get the sun to be right through the openings in the gazebo and tried shooting that.… Read More Stone Gazebo at Sunset
I went out to a park to hike and perhaps catch some photos of fall color reflected in the river. Unfortunately there is not a lot of fall color to catch around here and there is barely any water in the river to reflect any of it. But I did get a nice hike and… Read More Sunset by the River
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 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 evening after my sunrise photos, there was a nice sunset on the opposite side of the island over the West Bay. It is not nearly as easy to find access to the bay for shooting photos as there is a lot of private property on the bay side of the island. But my daughter… Read More Bay Sunset
