Sunday afternoon and time for a hike. I headed to Inks Lake State Park this week as the weather was nice and I wanted to walk those trails again. Either my memory is wrong or they have added a hiking loop. I had hiked the trails across the main road before, but then they had… Read More The Sun Sets Somewhere
Sometimes when I take a picture, it makes me think about what kind of story could be behind it. On a recent trip to Colorado Bend State Park I took some pictures that brought back many memories from my childhood days on my grandparents ranch in south Texas. So I wrote a story. Many events… Read More The Day Everything Went Wrong
I am making a 2022 Calendar to send out as Christmas presents. Nothing too fancy, just some of my favorite landscape photos that I have taken this year. I am focusing on Texas because that is pretty much the only place I have really been this year (and last year). I did a calendar last… Read More 2022 Calendar
We had our first cool weekend of the autumn. Between that and the high clouds, I couldn’t resist getting out for a late afternoon hike and sunset. So, I headed out to Inks Lake State Park about 2 hours before sunset and hiked around on the trails among the granite hills beside the lake. The… Read More Evening Reflections
I was at the beach in Galveston for a few days. The beach generally faces to the SouthEast so I planned on catching some sunrises. It turns out that the first morning I was there was the only morning that I would do this. The second morning was stormy and the third morning was clear.… Read More Beach Sunrise
Wow, I haven’t posted a blog in about a month. I have been busy moving from one house to another and the amount of constant work involved in that process has put me out of my usual routine of getting out a few times a week and trying to photograph something. But Sunday afternoon, after… Read More Hiking Trail Details
It has been difficult to make time for hiking recently, but I managed to get out Thursday night. There are a lot of wildflowers in bloom as well as the prickly pear cactus. There was even a small amount of water in the creek at the Balcones Canyonlands wildlife refuge. The cactus were in bloom… Read More Wildflower Bloom at the Refuge
Saturday it rained almost all day, so I thought there might be a lot more water in the river where I hike occasionally. So Sunday afternoon, it was sunny and I went down for a hike. The trail was a little muddy but it wasn’t too bad. Just as I started my hiking I came… Read More Sunset Hike at the River
I have heard it said that every photo should tell a story. I also follow a blog called Nuggets of Gold where the author often post a picture from Pinterest and writes a story about it. So, inspired by these things I am going to try to write a short story about a photo that… Read More The Dark River Path
I decided to try making myself take a photo every day for a week. I didn’t really go anywhere special, but I just wanted to keep busy shooting pictures and trying to make the best of my surroundings. I shot these photos on my morning and evening walks around the neighborhood and parks. So there… Read More A Photo per Day for a Week
