During a recent trip to Colorado, we spent an afternoon driving through the mountains. We headed north on State Highway 67 from Woodland Park. Our elevation at the beginning of our drive was 8500 feet and we continued upward as our drive continued. It wasn’t long before the air became thinner and we felt as if … Continue reading

White Petals (MM)
This daisy is just gorgeous in color. In fact, it’s been dyed blue; so it’s rather amazing. I decided to try some filters to focus on dimension and texture of the petals. In fact, I think this flower is just as amazing in monochrome. I like this one so much; I may try a few … Continue reading
Texas Sunset (BW)
Sunsets don’t always make great subjects for monochrome photos. Often a sunset in monochrome looks moody or stormy and we miss all the colors nature provides at sunset. However, I think this sunset photo works well in monochrome. The clouds look gorgeous and the little ray of sunshine at the horizon keeps the photo from … Continue reading

We were visited by a large flock of Great American Pelicans earlier this winter. These guys were floating around the lake eating all the little fish they could find. You can find few facts about the Great American Pelicans and see more photos in my post Visiting Pelicans. Monochrome Madness Challenge “Looking for Lunch” is … Continue reading

The landings look so smooth, almost as if they are walking on the water for a second before they enter the water. You can read more … Continue reading

As Far As The Eye Can See (MM)
I took this photo as we were traveling along the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway in North Carolina. There were numerous pullouts where you could stop to view all the gorgeous mountains. This particular vista was appealing because all you could see was rows of mountains which ever direction you looked. I like that you can … Continue reading

This Christmas tree sits in front of the Gainesville, Texas courthouse. It shines with a many Christmas lights all during December. The vintage street lights help light up the downtown square. It seems like a scene perfect for a Christmas card. Monochrome Madness Challenge “Small Town Christmas” is my entry for this week’s Monochrome … Continue reading
Sunset On The Bridge
This is the view of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge from our Dallas Hyatt Regency 18th floor hotel room. Here the bridge actually looks as if it is sitting on the top of a building; but you are really seeing the top portion of the bridge only. The remainder of the bridge is behind the … Continue reading

Rainy Day Flight
I watched this Great White Heron flying around the Hagerman Wildlife Refuge on a wet, rainy afternoon. He wasn’t the only Heron in the area; but he was the only one who seemed to be flying around. It almost seemed as if he was on lookout duty. Even with his amazing wing span, he was … Continue reading
