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…

I Love Grass…
Well. Maybe not what you were thinking. I love this time of year and I guess it’s because I’ve just sort of noticed it. I’ve noticed how the grain or grass looks like hair blowing in the wind. It also reminds me of the song “America” or “Oh Beautiful…” for the line about the ‘amber waves of grain’. I believe it’s the same stuff they roll up and sell for the animals to eat. It just makes me think “American”. I love taking drives out in the…

Circle of Life…
As I stated in my first post of 2011 I decided to take time to look around. To look deeper. To Appreciate. And today as I was begrudgingly cleaning up my back yard and cussing the weeds I noticed how perfect dandelions were. They start out as seemingly beautiful yellow flowers then turn in to a sphere of trouble. By that I mean they have the potential to fill your yard in a rather short amount of time. Though I like the color yellow sometimes I do…

Learn to Be Still…
I was walking back in to my office after lunch and just happened to look up at the sky. Right about then a breeze came up and whispered “slow down”. I then began to try and remember the last time I went walking or just sat in the grass and just wondered. I remember being young and looking up at the clouds, just watching, for hours. Not really thinking of anything. I miss those carefree days. I also miss just walking around away from all of the…
