I shot this after a rain last weekend. The underside was just as pretty as the front.

Peace. Stay Safe!
Roses after Rain

Wildflowers
I did the bad thing and cut these to photograph. They were down by the creek and no one could see them unless they walked where I did. Even though, I heard my mom say “What if everybody cut them?” Sorry mom!

Nail on the Head
A few weeks ago we took a little road trip near the Texas, Oklahoma border. Carpenters Bluff, Texas is not really there anymore. Very few houses are left. Most all the buildings are demolished, but the bridge still crosses the Red River.
I was there several years ago on my motorcycle and it could still be driven. Today it is closed except pedestrian traffic and graffiti. On the Wooden side, moss has all but taken over several yards of the bridge.
We had a nice time but the wind was blowing so much, we didn’t stay long.
I can’t wait to see what the next adventure might be!

Another Awesome
Today the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison Texas said they could not perform an air show this year, so they performed another Fly Over for the COVID-19 Doctors, Nurses and Front liners.
I did not have time to get on my roof, but for a hot humid, hazy day, the shots came out ok.
I made two black and white to resemble the era.

This long Memorial Day weekend, remember the ones that fought for our freedoms and lives.
Mother’s Day flowers
Last weekend I got my wife some flowers for Mother’s Day. Saturday it was raining all day so the flowers called me.
The background is a blurred photo of our shower curtain.

Spiderwebs
Photographing spider webs are cool to in the right light. Not seeing them, and walking into them, not so much.

Awesome!
The word Awesome is way overused, but with everything going on right now, that is the best word I can come up with.
To our fantastic Navy Blue Angels, bringing a smile to our faces and joy in our hearts, a big Thank You!
The front-line folks need more of this. A BIGGER Thanks to them during this crazy pandemic.

Light trails
During this crazy stay at home time, I had to go out early one morning. It was misty and overcast but it made a nice glow in the lights. This was taken at 6:30am at central expressway and George Bush tollway on a Sunday morning.

Playing with Flowers
The title may sound funny, coming from a grown man, but since I received my Lensbaby Sweet35, it seems like I play a lot with flowers.
This one is from our garden.

Poppies in the park
Social distancing is still in effect, with good reason, but I went to a park to make some pictures. The wildflowers are blooming in Texas and the weather was nice. I went early in the morning, I figured no one would be at this little area.
It was a very nice day but these flowers move so easily with the slightest breeze. The bees were a bonus.
