Boy Scout Regatta
A favorite event of most Cub Scouts is the annual Rain Gutter Regatta. I love this photo of the colorful boats waiting to race. The boys must make their boats by themselves; however, guidance from an adult is permitted. This year Pops helped our grandson with his boat. Pops said that it seemed like it was just a … Continue reading
Fishing the Red River
Water has been flowing over the spillway at Lake Texoma for almost 2 weeks. People are flocking to view this historical event. They are fishing from the side of the river and from their boats. The foaming, dirty water doesn’t seem to discourage anyone. I didn’t have an opportunity to fish; but I saw several … Continue reading
Waiting
Many marinas are closed due to all the flooding in North Texas. The owners of these boats can’t even get to their boats right now because the marina parking lot is about 8 foot deep in water. There’s a possibility that this marina won’t open until the 4th of July. Everyone is just waiting… Continue reading
Let’s Go For A Drive

Look Who Stopped By For A Quick Visit
These ducks were resting under a tree in our yard when we got home yesterday. I ran into the house to get my camera and was happy to take a few photos. The ducks were very cooperative subjects. They seemed to turn toward me and strike a pose for the camera. I think they were enjoying … Continue reading
Bud to Bloom
This hibiscus bud caught my eye because of its interesting shape and gorgeous colors. Then the next day, the bud bloomed into this beautiful flower. (This is a SOOC shot — no editing.) Did you know that most hibiscus flowers only last one day? You can learn more about the hibiscus plant at Better Homes & Garden … Continue reading
It’s a Gray Day!
Monochrome Madness Challenge In my opinion, this pelican is just as beautiful in black and white as he is in color. I found him at Sea World on a little island near the Flamingo pond. He was very shy and seemed to turn away when I brought up my camera to take a photo. You can … Continue reading
Camera Shy Pelicans
These beautiful birds were shy when it came to having their photos taken. It seemed like the largest one actually turned away when he saw the camera. They were on a little island near the pond where I photographed the flamingos at Sea World. There wasn’t a sign close by; but, I believe they are brown pelicans. … Continue reading
