Looking For Fall Color Last fall, my hubby and I took a road trip to see the fall colors in Arkansas and Missouri. The leaves hadn’t changed colors yet; so we spent lots of time just driving around looking at the area. Should We or Shouldn’t We? We saw a sign off the main highway … Continue reading

Still Standing
This barn caught my eye as we were driving on a country road during a recent trip to Oklahoma. It looked abandoned and as if it had weathered many storms. The red roof was patchy and faded. The walls looked as if someone had started painting and then stopped. Though it was dark inside, I could … Continue reading
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
Riding the Rails
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

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

I spent several very enjoyable hours taking … Continue reading

This bridge parallels the Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge and the Texas Pacific Railway Trinity River Bridge while spanning across the Trinity River. 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
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
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
Sometimes I Just See Red
Downtown Dallas, Texas 2:30 on a Thursday afternoon There was so much traffic and so many busy people moving about — I didn’t know where to point my camera first. I love this shot because it shows how busy this particular street was at this particular time. I think the pops of red emphasize the activity … Continue reading
