2020 Wasn’t All Bad

People hate the year 2020. It has been much reviled and its end celebrated. Perhaps this is justified as many tragedies occurred through out the year. But, it wasn’t a bad year for my photography hobby. In fact, I took some of the pictures that I am most happy with last year. At the dawn… Read More 2020 Wasn’t All Bad

Photography in the Rain

I made reservations to go hike with the kids at Colorado Bend State Park several days ago, but as luck would have it Wednesday turned out to be a cold rainy day. The kids did not have any interest in going out and hiking in the rain, but I really wanted to get out of… Read More Photography in the Rain

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Leander Texas. It is not much of a town but it’s where I live. The building behind the Christmas tree is where I pay my water bill. HDR merge taken at twilight.

Cloudy Hike

I went out hiking at Balcones Canyonlands for lack of anything better to do. There was a low puffy cloud cover that I thought might photograph well with all of the texture, especially in the late afternoon and I needed a good hike anyway. So up the trail I went. There aren’t many flowers out… Read More Cloudy Hike

Wings Over Houston, part 1

I hope you like airplanes because that is what this post is about. I took girls to the Wings Over Houston airshow this weekend. The airshow was held at Ellington Field near the Johnson Space Center and this was the first large event in the Houston area since the Covid19 crisis began, so it involved… Read More Wings Over Houston, part 1

Some Sunflowers

This post is just some photos of sunflowers in the evening sun. These were taken in the city park where I walk in the evenings. The first two were taken with a telephoto lens which makes for a lot of background blur. For the next two photos I put a manual prime lens on. This… Read More Some Sunflowers

Fire at the Hiking Trails

Burned Hill Side at Balcones Canyonlands

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

What Does Flickr Say About 2019

Big Bend Mountains Layered in the Morning Haze

I generally use Flickr as an external judging tool for my photographs. I post my favorite photos to mostly the same Flickr groups and see how they do. I know this may not be completely accurate as there may just be more Flickr traffic in these groups one day as compared to another, but it… Read More What Does Flickr Say About 2019

Disc Golf in the Woods

16th at Leander Disc Golf Course

The town that I live in has a public disc golf course very close to my house. It has been there for a few years and I have thought about it, so I finally purchased a starter set of three golf discs and went to see about playing and getting some light exercise. The scoring… Read More Disc Golf in the Woods
