Childhood…
I’ve watched my children grow up and now I’m watching my grandchildren grow up. Life is so fleeting. Memories are precious. The joys of it all. Remembering the first time I went to the beach as toddler. . All the way from learning to walk; walking with my dad or mom; Parks; and learning about life. Discovering FISH! Playing with the water hose on a hot Summer day. Learning to ride a bike and discovering my freedom and mobility… Learning to fly on a swing and the…

Llano Texas Eagles Nest…
It has been awhile since I’ve been able to wander over towards Llano and see how the Eagles are doing. They have been nesting near there for quite a few years. I found they’ve moved the nest a little down the road but to my joy the nest is a little closer to the road (for all of us photographers out there this is wonderful). It can take a little patience while you’re out there watching. Nothing interesting may happen for awhile – but sometimes you get…

Austin Vibe…
I love Austin, Texas. I wish there was a better, more articulate way of saying it, but that’s the truth. I love to just BE in Austin. I think it has a ‘vibe’ all of its own. I love to go down around 1st Street or Congress Avenue and just people watch. Well, and dog watch as well I suppose. People come out to exercise or play with their pets and just relax and enjoy the day or unwind after work. I can’t explain it really it’s…

Takamine Time…
I’ve been so busy with work and fixing things, not to mention blogging, that I haven’t really paid much attention to my guitar. I like accoustic music. Anything that I can play along with (Yes, I started with Stairway to Heaven and worked up to Dust in the Wind). I just like to play. I have a Takamine Steve Wariner Limited Edition (Autographed and numbered 215 by Steve Wariner). I swear I could leave this guitar in the case for a year and pull it out and…

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…

Learn to Be Still…
I often like looking at water. It reminds me of an Eagle’s song entitled “Learn to Be Still. It calms me when the world is all abuzz around me. Bills, new job, christmas, traffic. Water has always calmed me. Not only that, but hiking is good for you. I’m beginning to explore the hiking trails around Austin and learning to relax a bit. Peace, Love, and Calmness,

Veterans…
God Bless the people that serve our country. God Bless the fallen, and families of the fallen, at Fort Hood. God Bless the veterans who have seen and felt too much – and those that have bled and carry the scars of our country for the rest of their days for the sake of our freedom. God bless the wives and children that wait for their husbands and fathers to come home for they also serve. To all of the veterans that protect our freedom. Thank you…

Happy Veterans Day….
I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all who are serving around the world and who have served in the past. I wanted to share my friends blog with you who is an excellent photographer and friend. Please visit the blog of Cricket Walker for some excellent photographs for veterans. Peace, Love, and Happy Veterans Day,

River, Like Life…
I love water. Reflections. Watching it flow. Hearing it trickle, or even roar. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art Rivers are like life. Flowing smoothly reflecting everything around it. Enjoying the sunshine and good times. Then it flows faster and the next thing you know you’ve fallen on hard times. Unemployment. Bill Collectors. And haveing to explain to little Bobby why he can’t have that $60.00 XBox game and that Christmas is going to be thin this year. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art Well,…

Mornings…
I love mornings. The smell of coffee. Getting up a little bit early to sort of slowly wind up the day (versus jumping up and racing out the door). Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art I also like the wind in my face and the sound of surf. It makes me realize that I really do need more quiet in my life. Alas, those days are coming. The days when I can just walk down the boardwalk to the beach and enjoy the quiet. I think…
