This is a bird post. I don’t usually post about birds as I am not a bird photographer and I don’t have the equipment to be much of a bird photographer, but I chanced to catch a red-tailed hawk flying low over the park in the late afternoon sun and I got what I think… Read More One For The Birds
Not much hiking and photography for me this week. The weather has been unusually harsh here, in fact in the 20 winters I have spent in the Austin area I have not seen weather like this here before. But, I still like to go for walks so I bundled up and went for a walk… Read More A Walk in the Park
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

There aren’t many flowers out… Read More Cloudy Hike

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
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
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
