It’s All About the Wildflowers

Indian Paintbrush

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

Bluebonnets of Big Bend

In the autumn Texans look with envy upon the New England and Rocky Mountain states with their beautiful fall foliage, but in spring we get even with wildflower season. Wildflower season is in full swing in Texas right now and I took a few photos of bluebonnets while my daughter and I were out in… Read More Bluebonnets of Big Bend

Sunflower Portraits

There is an enormous field of sunflowers in a park near the house that has been in full bloom. It took a lot of work, but I finally coerced my girls into letting me take them there and get some photos of them with the sunflowers in the background. I shot a lot of the… Read More Sunflower Portraits

Some Hiking Photos

September is here and it is bearable outside in the day now. I go out hiking and often bring my camera to see what I can get. None of these photos are stunning, but nice enough to hit the shutter button I think. All of these photos were shot with a Nikon Z50, which is… Read More Some Hiking Photos

Some Fauna and Flora

White Wildflower Close Up

I go out for walks in the early morning and sometimes bring my camera in case I find something to photograph. The animals are often more active at dawn and I can get some good shots. On Saturday morning I found a big white egret at the pond that wasn’t too afraid to let me… Read More Some Fauna and Flora

Morning on the Beach

Long Exposure of a Beach Sunrise

I woke up early the next couple of days trying to find another magical beach sunrise, but the clouds were really not cooperating. Wednesday morning the sky was clear and Thursday morning there were some thick clouds on the horizon. My plan on this morning was long exposures to smooth the waves with a sunrise… Read More Morning on the Beach

Near and Far

Field of Flowers Shot at 14mm

I got the idea to shoot the flowers in the park near my house down close with a very wide lens. I thought that it might exaggerate the expanse of the flowers by pushing the background trees far into the distance. After being harassed by a couple of irritated bees, I took a few shots.… Read More Near and Far

Horsemint

Horsemint is a wildflower that is common around here. There are currently quite a few of them growing up among the thistles and firewheels and I see a lot of them on my walks through the park. I can’t resist taking a few photos of them, and you will see them if you keep reading.… Read More Horsemint

At the Disc Golf Course

We had storms most of the night, but when I got up this morning I still wanted to get out for a walk. It was sunny, cool, and breezy this morning so I took a walk, sometimes muddy, down at the disc golf course close by. I brought along my camera on my hike or… Read More At the Disc Golf Course

Some Hiking and Wildflowers

Rimrock Trail at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge

I have been out hiking several times trying to find something to shoot. Below are some photos from a couple of different hikes out at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I mainly used a macro lens, as there were a lot of interesting looking flowers out, an Irix Dragonfly 150mm f/2.8 manual focus macro lens… Read More Some Hiking and Wildflowers
