    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Renewal…

    I remember passing this house a couple of years ago and loved the old style of it. My thoughts at the time were that it would make a great haunted house. I just loved the old style of it. Actually I wished I had lived there. Well, I was driving around and passed by the house yesterday and low-and-behold it…

    Memories…

    I love photography and the memories that images bring back. Looking at my computer today I realized I’ve passed 29,000 images. Of course alot are family snapshots and events, but most are photographs of things that make me feel something. I hate to say it but I’m a lazy photographer. I cannot imagine having to wait 2 days for my…

    Flying Machines…

    I’ve noticed that most of the aircraft around our municipal airport are squeeky clean. I’ve thought about how a 1959 Beechcraft K35 could look as good as it did in the showroom over 50 years ago. And yet, when I see a slightly newer, (1980ish), Canadair CL-600 tucked away in a corner between two buildings – seemingly neglected, it saddens…

    Stevie Ray Vaughn…

    It’s been over 20 years? August 27, 1990 Guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughn passed away in a helicopter crash. He was only 35. His legend lives on in downtown Austin, Texas with a statue in his honor located at Auditorium Shores. When in Austin take a stroll around Auditorium Shores. It’s a beautiful park with lots to see near beautiful…
