Early Mornings in the Outdoors

One thing I've tried to do more this summer in the morning before work is to go enjoy the outdoors for a little while. I try to either to go fishing or take pictures (or both).

Roadside Wildflowers

A few days ago a friend at work walked into my office and told me about wildflowers growing along the roadside nearby and suggested I go take a look.

Out and About In South Arkansas…Fishing At Lake Monticello (first time in a while)

I mentioned last week about going at to Lake Monticello to take photographs and hoping to get a sunrise photo but the weather did not allow it.

It was right next to … Continue reading Backyard Photography – Just Look Down!

On Tuesday and Thursday mornings I go workout. I go before daylight and finish right around sunrise. The other day I walked out and got in my truck (tired) and noticed the amazing sunrise.
