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.

The Moon revisited

I got some good shots of the moon tonight and was happy with the way this one came out. This one was shot in manual with 1/4 exposure and F16 aperture.

Springtime wildflowers

Springtime brings out all the wildflowers. All of these pictures were taken on our property. In these pictures you can find a bee loaded with pollen, a green bee, a dragonfly and on one of the flowers is a grasshopper. Oh and the berries were just right for eating.

Packmeeting nature hike

Our Packmeeting theme was leave nothing behind and it was about interacting with nature. We held the Packmeeting at Breckenridge Park and the Scouts and their families went on a hike and took pictures of nature. Here is a slideshow of some of the pictures I took.
