I was looking back through some of my old pictures I took with my first digital camera and came across this one. It turned out to be a “Happy Accident” abstract.
The colors are balloons from the fourth of July at a local Minor league baseball game before the firework show.

A few months ago on a quick trip to Abilene, Texas, we stopped at a roadside park as nature called. The park was landscaped nicely so, while waiting, I grabbed my camera.
I am not sure what variety of flower this is but the sun shining through the petals made a nice shot.

Most days at lunch, I take a walk around the neighborhood. Partially for exercise and partially for photos. Sometimes I find a photo here and there that I have not seen before, even though my path is generally the same.
The sun was hitting this prickly pear just right to make in look intimidating. I remember as a kid getting stuck with these things. Not fun!

Living in the city has it’s advantages, except for traffic, and skylines among a few other things.
I have to be selective when I take pictures of a nice sunrise or sunset to avoid all the other stuff around. It takes about an hour to drive somewhere else to see the horizon.
But sometimes…

It seems like I tend to take a lot of pictures of flowers. This is no exception. As I was sitting on the back porch one Saturday afternoon, the sun was shining through the back of this Hibiscus flower.
It may make it to a printed photo one of these days!
Most days I take a walk around the neighborhood and most days I carry some type of camera, be it phone or DSLR.
This little flower caught my eye and of course my camera!

Earlier in the spring we took a quick trip to East Texas. Coming back home we crossed Lake Tawakoni.
Before we crossed there was a little park, but coming out on the road I couldn’t pass up this shot.
Its a good thing they put this bridge here. Where else would they put all those signs?
Also, does the water curve underneath a bridge or is this an optical illusion?
Anyone that has lived in Texas for a while, knows that it gets hot in the summer. A nice shade tree is always a welcome site to park below. However I am not sure this will qualify.
This was taken near Broken Bow Oklahoma. It gets hot there too!
I took this picture a few weeks ago of a Peace Lily on our back porch. I’m trying my hand at selective soft focus. Abstract if you will.
I took this picture from the glass door in our living room of my 95 year old Mother-in-Law creating her art work. She has a creative side and can arrange flowers like they came from a florist.
