    Time…

    I can’t help but feel overwhelmed at times with all I’m in to. I mean with work, blahgging (as I call it), photography, and trying to keep up with things. Something went wonky with the blog yesterday. I was receiving this error whenever I tried to upload an image to the ‘blahg’. So I googled the error message- found several ideas on how to fix it. I also found that an error had occurred on the last WordPress update so I re-ran that – and it appears…

    I Love Shiney Things…

    I was trying to think of what to blog about today and was a little stumped. I see the neighbors are still runinng the sprinkler and turning the tree in their front yard in to an icicle. Well, then WordPress decided it couldn’t resize anything I uploaded so I manually resized it and hopefully can get through today – I still owe a post for the 30 day thing – I may be able to manage (I Hope). Anyway – I discovered I love chrome but I…

    Ice Garden?…

    The sun came out today (yay!) and I finally was out and about (meetings and things) and got to play around with the camera a little and I wasn’t sure what I would blog about today until I stumbled upon a curious sight. Seems someone forgot to turn the sprinkler off. But then again, it was under 40 degrees outside and wasn’t sure why the folks were waterin’? With the wind blowin’ and all it froze in the tree making for an interesting sight. I also found…

    Drive By Shooting…

    I know the title sounds serious…but it’s not really. It’s sort of what I call the photographs I get by not taking the time to stop and really TAKE the picture. I just hang the camera out the window and *click* away. Sometimes I get an interesting sort of something I want to keep kind of a photograph. And yet other times, I”m not sure why I kept it…a pattern? The color? A memoriy? I’m not sure. Just something kept me from deleting it. I guess this…

    Rainy Day Dreaming…

    Alas, another rainy day on my day off so I cleaned up and tried to organize some things. I was a little bummed because I was hoping to maybe get out and photograph some things out in the country. So, I’m cleaning off my shelf and there are some things there I like to look at but take for granted. I decided to play around and photograph them. Some day I hope to be able to afford a motorcycle to ride around (and photograph) the beautiful Hill…

    Scene Searching…

    I have to say that I’m addicted to photography. (Kinda, sorta, right?). Well. I’m so addicted that everywhere I look I see a picture that I would like to take. These horses for instance. I pass these guys every day on my way to work and I keep telling myself “one of these days I’m going to stop and get that picture”. Well, I stopped. Finally. But it’s not quite the picture I intended. I saw the field, the horses and railroad cars – I did NOT…

    The Little Things…

    Thanks to the Blogging Challenge I got a chance to learn some amazing things. Also how important the little things are. Nature is a wonderful thing and alot of us take it for granted. And if you have animals it’s your responsibility to take care of them. Which brings me to an insect that fascinates, yet scares me to death sometimes (allergies, you know). Yes. BEES! They are so important to keeping things going and actually fun to watch (as long as you have a long lens…

    Talking Animals…

    Have you ever imagined animals talking to you or is it just me? Alright, I’m going out on a limb here. I’ve been thinking all day “what am I going to blog about for this challenge?” I have all this work to do and then I have to get gas and have all these things to do after work. So I’m sitting there in my truck this morning – and then I look out my window and there is this bird sitting on the curb staring up…

    True Grit…

    I have to admit that the remake of True Grit was alright. Jeff Bridges is no John Wayne, however, he was a very believable Rooster Cogburn. I’m fortunate enough to live near where part of the movie was filmed in Granger, Texas. I just wanted to share a photograph of the building where “Mattie Ross” had the discussion about horse trading. I think it’s fun to see the place where a movie was filmed and then see how it looks on the big screen. Of course on…

    Cloudy Day Off…

    Cloudy days just seems to drag for some reason. I don’t know but I’m a sunny day guy. I didn’t really get any good shots today. Of course I was pretty tied up with chores. But I did manage to hang the camera out the window and watch a grain truck get filled. Well, I’m trying to keep up with the 30 day challenge – where you try to write in your blog every day for 30 days. I’m sure I’ll get better tomorrow – Rainy day…
