During a recent trip to Colorado, we spent an afternoon driving through the mountains. We headed north on State Highway 67 from Woodland Park. Our elevation at the beginning of our drive was 8500 feet and we continued upward as our drive continued. It wasn’t long before the air became thinner and we felt as if … Continue reading

Waiting Out the Storm (MM)
During the month of May in 2015, there were record-setting rains in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The lakes overflowed their boundaries and flooded surrounding areas. This is Joe Pool Lake Marina which was completely flooded including the parking lot. The owners of these boats had no way to get to them until the water receded. … Continue reading
Big Tex (MM)
Take a drive down Interstate 40 in the Texas Panhandle and at some point you are going to pass by Big Tex. He stands tall in the sky at the Big Texan Steak Ranch (which is the home of the 72 ounce steak challenge). On this particular day, I thought Big Tex looked good among … Continue reading
Colorful Daisies
These colorful Daisies brought a bit of beauty and color into our home during some cloudy, rainy days. The last four photos I used a special filter to bring out the details on the petals and to place extra emphasis on the dyed color. Which do you like best? I’ve included a special limited time … Continue reading

Texas Sunset (BW)
Sunsets don’t always make great subjects for monochrome photos. Often a sunset in monochrome looks moody or stormy and we miss all the colors nature provides at sunset. However, I think this sunset photo works well in monochrome. The clouds look gorgeous and the little ray of sunshine at the horizon keeps the photo from … Continue reading
Among the Trees
Driving through a small Texas town, I spotted this 1963 Ford Galaxy 500 sitting among the trees on an empty lot. There were several old cars lined up like they were parked for a day. Even though the paint was faded, the roof rusted and the tires missing, this old car still caught my eye. … Continue reading
Tennessee Barn (BW)
Tennessee Barn (Bw) I spotted this old, wooden barn in a hay field on a Tennessee country road near Pikeville, Tennessee. The old barn had many boards that were falling down or missing. The doors were gone and weeds were growing all around. Even so, I could imagine how it might have looked in its … Continue reading

In 1982 the building was saved from demolition by a group of concerned citizens and it became the Museum for East Texas Culture. I chose to focus … Continue reading
