A Sunrise Panorama

The other morning, coldest we've had in a while, I was driving back home from my workout time early in the morning but I saw a beautiful sunrise coming. I kept arguing with myself if I should go somewhere with a better view but since I was in my workout clothes (did I mention it … Continue reading A Sunrise Panorama

Another Time To Look Up!

In yesterday's post I mentioned looking up to see a photo opportunity. Today's post will be short but a few days later I was driving out of my driveway when the sycamore tree in front of the rising sun caught my eye. I stopped my driving, got out, and took a few photos (this is … Continue reading Another Time To Look Up!

Just Look Up ^…

It's been a few weeks since I've posted anything. The last time I went out for photos I didn't get much, I'll share some bird photos I did catch on the outing... I went on a walk hoping to see more birds but just saw the blue jay posted above. I packed up my camera … Continue reading Just Look Up ^…

Ok, here's my request. Let's read the book of Esther multiple times during the month of February. In my reading of the bible I find reading with others is very helpful. I have a list of readings and commentary resources I'll be going through in February and I'd really like your input on this project … Continue reading I Need Your Help! Bible Reading Together

Watching Songbirds

I said in yesterday's post I setup on my back porch to try and take pictures of songbirds back there. We sprinkle birdseed on the ground to be able to watch birds from our living room. I did not see a bunch but did catch a few to take pictures of. "You looking at me?" … Continue reading Watching Songbirds

Cormorants

But … Continue reading Cormorants

Not many songbirds today…

I guess you win some, you lose some. I went back out to Lake Monticello for some more songbird photos but did not see as many as I did the other day. Songbirds at Lake Monticello I did see some other types of birds. By the briar cuts on my hands I noticed this morning … Continue reading Not many songbirds today…

It’s Cold!

It has turned extremely cold here in south Arkansas. I think it's cold all over the country. For us the temperatures are COLD! I had the day off as it turned cold so I stayed in the house all morning but couldn't stand it any longer and was bored. I went out to Lake Monticello … Continue reading It’s Cold!

Driving Over To Choctaw

Last week I drove over to one of my favorite places to drive around here to take pictures. It was introduced to me by my friend Blake back in our college days. Now a close second (maybe its a tie) is a drive over to Choctaw Island WMA at Arkansas City on the Mississippi River. … Continue reading Driving Over To Choctaw

Ice In LA

Hopefully, you got a little more winter precipitation than we did here in LA (lower Arkansas). I know my son was disappointed we didn't get more than we did. We got quite a bit of freezing rain as the ice was accumulating pretty good, I'm thankful to have kept electricity the entire time. I had … Continue reading Ice In LA
