The brand new Cowboys Stadium

The new Cowboys Stadium is one impressive building. I will give you a tour of it on my blog with separate entries. We will start with this blog entry showing the outside of the stadium. The top pic show the retractable roof section and one end of the two arches that were described as the longest freestanding arches in the world and as long as the Empire state building is tall.

The next pic shows the side and the other end of the arches. You can see the concrete bunkers they go into and from there they are anchored 70 feet down and 170 out from there for support.

The third pic is straight on from the end and shows the waterfall and trees lining the way. You can also see the 125 foot high end doors that are cracked open.

The last pic is the same end and the opposite side and shows the other end of the retractable roof section.

Stay tuned for the pictures from the inside!!

July 4th fireworks

Here is some of the fireworks ready to be shot off at the Anderson's 8th annual July 4th party. We will start with lots of food, friends and family, fun and games. When it gets dark, we will put on a fireworks show that will get the crowd cheering.

A wicked storm approaching

Here is the storm that caused tornado warnings and some damage in the DFW area as it moved through. This one was pretty intense with lots of high winds and lightning along with some heavy rain but no hail. We lost power, DTV and internet for various lengths of time but everyone is ok. That is an ominous looking sky don't you think?

Old wagon in the field

A weather beaten wagon sitting in the tall grass. This is my attempt at an artistic photo. I like the way it turned out. Let me know what you think, thanks.

Sunset yesterday June 1st

This is one of the best things about living where I do now. The sunsets are awesome almost every evening. These shots were all taken during the sunset on Monday evening June 1st 2009.
