Monochrome photography is fairly new to me. I’ve found an appreciation for the effect that black and white can have on a photo. It often changes the emphasis of what we are really seeing. I hope you’ll enjoy these photos, also. I’d love for you to stop by my gallery at Linda James Photography and … Continue reading

Watching
I took this photo on an unusually gorgeous winter day. The weather was in the high 60s and the perfect day to go to the park. — And we weren’t the only ones who felt the urge to head to the park that day. There were tons of people there. My youngest grandson was so excited; … Continue reading
Stalled
I came across this old 1950s Chevy pickup while driving down a country road. The kind of Texas country road where you see miles of dirt roads, fields of prairie grass, and a few cows. The truck was sitting in one of those fields surround by tall grasses and lots of trees. I probably wouldn’t have … Continue reading
A Little Red in My Christmas Corner
This is our first Christmas in our new home. The corner windows next to the fireplace are the perfect spot for the Christmas tree. The lights reflect on three of the windows while the fire adds warmth to the room. Of course, it’s a beautiful spot with all the colorful lights, ornaments, decorations, and packages. However, … Continue reading

These particular ads were on the back page … Continue reading
Just Around the Bend
Looking for Fall My hubby drove me to East Texas last weekend to look for fall colors. Many of the trees were already bare with their leaves in piles around their trunks. The trees with leaves left were either still green or in various stages of changing. The colors we did find weren’t as bright as usual … Continue reading
House Skeleton
Building A House During the past year, I’ve taken many, many photos of the various stages of our house building journey. The day that the crews started framing our house was exciting because we could actually see our house taking shape. I wanted a photo to represent the look of all the boards that formed the … Continue reading
Sunset Beach
Sunset is one of my favorite times of the day. Sunset – those few peaceful moments just as the sun is setting that remind you that miracles happen everyday. Somehow it seems that a beautiful sunset makes me feel more positive and I can let the stress of the day slide away. That Magic Moment As a … Continue reading

Trees have always fascinated me. I love taking photos of all types of trees. Sometimes the photos are of large groups of trees , an individual tree or as in this case just a portion of a tree. This Oak tree is located next to the east beach at Lake Kiowa, Texas. I was fascinated … Continue reading
