What to do in January

The first couple of weeks of this year I have barely picked up my camera. I have been busy reorganizing my house as I now have my own office, which I am happy about but it has been a lot of work. We also had a rare (once in a decade) snow storm with a… Read More What to do in January

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

Sunday Morning Hike at Balcones Canyonlands

I went hiking this morning out at Balcones Canyonlands Doeskin Ranch area. It was kind of one more free morning to go hiking before I go back to working tomorrow. There were quite a few people out there hiking and enjoying the morning, including one relentless trail-runner that must have been in amazing shape as… Read More Sunday Morning Hike at Balcones Canyonlands

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.

Big Bend – Desert Mountains

Big Bend – Santa Elena Canyon Sunrise

Saturday morning well before dawn, the workshop group was off to Santa Elena Canyon in the dark to get there in time for sunrise photos. To get there we took the Old Maverick Road from the west entrance gate. This is yet another rough unpaved and dusty road which I didn’t enjoy driving in the… Read More Big Bend – Santa Elena Canyon Sunrise

Big Bend – Ernst Tinaja and the Boquilla Overlook

To get to the the parking area for this little hike we had to drive part of the way up the Old Ore Road, which might… Read More Big Bend – Ernst Tinaja and the Boquilla Overlook
