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
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
Trains and railroad tracks have always fascinated me. It always seems to me that you could get on a train and go anywhere you wanted. These tracks are on the main highway near where our new home is being built. I love the fact that there are so many trees on each side; but it … Continue reading
I took this photo right after dusk just as the sun was fading from the sky. The little white goose was enjoying the peaceful smooth water at the edge of the fountain’s wake. “White Night” is my entry for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge. You can join the Monochrome Madness Challenge or view more monochrome … Continue reading
The small town of Childress, Texas is the home of this awesome pedestrian bridge. The bridge spans the small lake at Fair Park. 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

As you follow the traffic across the bridge into downtown Dallas, you see the high-rise buildings of downtown, the Trinity River, the other bridges … 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
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

(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

Some of the buildings were the homes of the workers for the land owners. I’d love to know the history … Continue reading
