Day 48~~Texas Sunset

Day 48~~Texas Sunset  When you are looking for something beautiful to capture in a photograph, you can always count on a Texas Sunrise or Sunset. When you can see as far as the eyes can see and there is nothing to obstruct your vision to one of God's natural beauties....then you know how blessed you really are.

Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 47~~Blossoms and Bees

Day 47~~Blossoms and Bees. I have some fruit trees in beautiful bloom and the bees are buzzing, doing thier pollenation duties.  But i've figured you can really close to the bees when taking a photo and it doesn't seem to bother them at all. When you sat and watch them for a long period of time, I noticed that once a bee was at one bloom and left, then the other bee come come and then fly to another bloom.

Day 46~~Beauty in a Weed

Day 46~~Beauty in a Weed. I was out looking for things to take some shots of in the evening light. This is a weed that I don't have a clue what it is...but they are solid in the pasture and just beautiful!

Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 45~~My Big Black Baby Buster

Day 45~~My Big Black Baby Buster.  I though Bailey (the chocolate lab) was going to be, but I think this guy is going to have her beat. He's only 8 months old and already passing her. He has a dirty nose, he's always smelling for something.

Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 44~~Little Church

Day 44~~Little Church. This is a photo that I took at the base of a mountain in New Mexico. With the coloring and where it sat, it was hard to see from the road, but made a beautiful shot!
Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 43~~Fun with Lilly

Day 43~~Fun with Lilly. Now talk about a bundle of energy, Lilly fits the bill. This is my youngest grand daughter, four going on 25. I did a High Key shoot with her jumping around with her cheerleader moves. 

Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 42~~My Sweet Myrissa

Day 42~~My Sweet Myrissa. Besides getting to take photos of my one of my grand-daughters, I was able to take photos of my niece, Myrissa. She is a Sophmore for Tivy High School and plays on Varsity with Cody. Although she has not played for a long time, she plays like she's been on a softball field all of her life. She just gets better and better every year!

Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 41~~My Softball Player

Day 41~~My Softball Player. This is my oldest grand-daughter Cody and she is a Junior at Tivy High School. She has been playing softball since she was five and is an outstanding young lady and excellent ball player. I decided to make Day 41 with her shots. I could not decide on just one, so I decided on a collection of photos I took at tournament this year. I'm not sure if she will continue to play after high school, but I truly hope she does because she is really good at what she does.

Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 38~~Blossoms in Bloom

Day 38~~Blossoms in Bloom. Everything is blooming and and it's the first day of March, so it's a little premature. But in Texas, it is 80 one day and 40 the next. This is a Pear tree blossom and I just love it!

Enjoy and God Bless

Day 37~~ Plane in Flight

Day 37~~Plane in flight. This is a very unusual photo because it is really unique and what is fun about this shot...no photoshop or anything, but kewl squares. I was at a softball game and taking photos of my oldest grand-daughter when I saw a small plane take off from a near by airport. I had my Canon 100-400 lens on and I just started shooting through the backdrop at the softball field. Later when I looked at the photos, I was excited about how the backdrop created the squares from the beautiful blue sky. This is probably a shot I could try to re-create many times and not get this particular shot ever again.

Enjoy and God Bless!

Day 36~~Moon over Texas

Day 36~~Moon over Texas. I've always had a facination with the moon, stars and sky. You can just see forever and i'm somewhat intrigued with the unknown. I'm fortunate enough to have a lens that captures the moon beautifully. When I see it up close like this and when I zoom in on it, I always think of those punching balls that kids play with. Because when you blow them up, there are little lines in it. 

I hope you are enjoying my photography! God Bless you!

Day35~Cozumel Native

Day 36~~Cozumel Native. I had some photos that I i've never printed or looked at and thought it would be fun to see what was there. When we went on one of the cruises, we saw a lot of kewl things you don't normally see in Texas. This big fellow was on the beach, in fact they were every where. He was curious, but not as much as I was...but this was as close as I got to him or maybe it was a her. Who knows.

Day 34~~Old Building

Day 34~~I thought would be fun to take a shot at Ft. Woods here in Colorado City. For those who do not know, Colorado City, Texas was originally named Colorado (because the Colorado River runs through the town). At one time it was the biggest town in West Texas because and was known as the hub of West Texas because there are four main roads that disect the little town. Ranchers brought their livestock from all over to put them on the train  here at the old Colorado Stock Yards. But besides it being known for the river, railroad and cattle, Colorado also had around 30 saloons in town.

This by no means is one of the saloons, but years ago, a business in Colorado City, built a little compex and called it Ft. Woods. The buildings are still there and I was able to get a shot of it and thought it would be fun to put the saloon name on it.  Anyhow...enjoy and God Bless!

Day 33~~Grandpa and Jeremiah

Day 33~~I thought I would just do a quick snap shot of grandpa and youngest grandson Jeremiah!

Have a blessed day!

Day 32~High Key Shot

Day 32 and I did a little juggling act. Shot inside with High Key and added the juggling balls. This was just fun, fun and more fun! Enjoy!

God Bless!

Day 31~~Katie

Day 31~~Photo shoot of Katie. I got to use my light meter and reflector. Taken in the shade but got a great reflection from the son to light up her hair and eyes!

Just a really beautiful day and young lady to photograph. I'll post some more shots in the next few days with different lighting techniques I used on her.

God Bless and have a great day!

Day 30~Chickens

  Day 30 ~ Photo of my chickens or ex-chickens. They are now happily living in Snyder and keeping a nice family there in eggs. I'm a little late posting because I've all day at CMA (Christian Motorcycle Association) Season's Refreshing. I love spending a day with people who love God and it was a blast! But i'm pooped.

Decided to pull out the photo of our chickens. I originally purchased chickens, peacocks, pheasants and other birds to photograph. I've taken lots of photos of my birds and everything I can find to shoot. Now I'm thinking about getting some longhorns out here and start photographing them as they start as calfs and mature to cows.

Have a blessed day!

Day 29~~RC Cola

Day 29~~RC Cola or Royal Crown sign. My mother loved RCs and drank them from the time I could remember until the day she when to the hospital before she died. She loved her Royal Crown Colas. I have this old sign at my house and the colors are not as intense. I did a little contrast, colors and layers to get more of an art look from it.

I pray that God blesses each of you today!
