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
Downtown Reflections
This is the view you see if you look up while in downtown Dallas. The lines and shapes on the buildings are interesting; but the reflections of the sky, clouds and buildings add a special dimension. Often the tall buildings seem to block out the sky until you look up and see the fantastic reflections. Do you … Continue reading
Old Keys — Monochrome Madness Challenge

I found this old bowl of keys which seemed to fit the theme; so I took about 45 shots (truly — it wasn’t as easy as I thought).

You know, a town with one post office and no shopping mall. A town where the people are friendly, main street is charming and … Continue reading
Curiosity
As soon as I got out of the car, this little guy made a straight line towards me. It seemed like he was curious about what I was doing; but I really think he wanted to see if I had treats. At least my camera didn’t bother him and I was able to get … Continue reading
Blue Skies and Wheat Fields
This year’s summer wheat looks beautiful in the fields under the blue skies. Texas summers are known for gorgeous blue skies filled with fluffy white clouds. The golden summer wheat seems to glimmer in the sun as you drive by the fields. I know nothing about farming; but I think this year’s wheat crops look … Continue reading
Coral Flower
