Downtown Dallas Dream
I took this photo from the 18th floor of the Dallas Omni Hotel just as dusk was beginning. The lights were slowly coming on all around the city and for a moment everything looked as if it was in a dream. I love the perspective of looking down and across the buildings instead of looking up as … Continue reading
Rose Petals – Digital Art
This image is a digital art version of my image “Rose Petals”. Along with some other edits, I used the posterize filter in Macphum’s FX Studio. I love the arty look of the results and think it will make a wonderful poster or print to decorate someone’s walls. You can see a more of my digital … Continue reading
Bridge at Fair Park (B & W) — Childress, Texas

On almost any day, numerous people can be found fishing or strolling on the bridge. Ducks and geese swimming around the lake complete the idyllic scene. I spent several very enjoyable hours taking … Continue reading

We’ve driven this highway several times in the last few months in order to check Lake Texoma water levels. The building always seems to catch my eye. It’s almost covered with brush, bushes, weeds and trees; but I decided to try for … Continue reading
Square Views
This building is somewhere in downtown Dallas. We are new to the area; so I have to confess that I don’t know the name of the building or exactly where it’s located. The size of the building and the vast number of square windows fascinated me. I just had to take a moment for a photograph. I’ll be … Continue reading
A Closer Look
This Hibiscus has provided us with gorgeous blooms all summer. Even after several big rain storms with heavy winds tried to tear it down; it keeps on blooming. (One wind storm actually knocked it over and pulled the rootball out.) Most days there are 4 or 5 blooms tempting me to take another photo. Today … Continue reading
Crumbling History
Drive through farm and ranch country in Texas and you will see many abandoned buildings. These buildings were the homes, barns and out buildings of those that once made their living by the land. Some of the buildings were the homes of the workers for the land owners. I’d love to know the history … Continue reading
