Recent pictures

I took a picture of this egret and a fish jumped out of the water. I thought this was so cool, the fish is in a water bubble coming up out of the water, see him?



Gnats! I told Cady I got some pictures of fairies but she did not buy it.


Lightning! This is the severe storm from 5/24/11 rolling in. It produced tornadoes and hail nearby. We lost our power for 6 hours that night.

Red Sun Red Moon


No I did not adjust the colors and that is not Mars up top, it is the sun. Below it is a red moon. There are some large wildfires west of us and it turns the sun red as it starts to set. These shots were taken a day apart from my house.

Ice Cold in 2010



It has been ice cold here in Dallas so far in 2010. We just got back above freezing for the first time in three days. The cold has made for some pretty cool pictures at Lake Lavon. The ice formed from the winds spraying lake water on everything near the shore. The middle picture shows a portion of Lake Lavon that is completely iced over.
