Wyoming Sunrise

West Texas sunrises are difficult to compete with, at least that is what I thought.  Then I saw this Wyoming sunrise, as seen from my sisters front yard. The colors just kept getting more and more intense as the sun made it’s climb. Now, I’m not sure who the Best Sunrise award goes to. I…

Wicked Walk 9/30/2015

My last walk of September was, as you may recall, taken in Wyoming.  Our annual elk hunting trip hit the Cowboy State this year, thanks to careful planning and the luck of the draw.  I’ll touch more on our 2 week adventure later this week but for now I’d like to share the photos I…

Wicked Walk 9/23/2015

Another Wednesday I found myself in town, all these Wednesdays in town are self-inflicted but still.  I’ll be glad when I get back to my old ‘free as a bird, without a care in the world, taking leisurely photo-capturing stroll’ Wednesdays.  Soon, my friends, very soon.  Maybe. Anyway, while the childrens were all in church…

Wicked Walk 8/19/2015

A sweltering day in front of me, I knew getting out early would be in my best interest.  Even though it was before 8:00 a.m. I still spent 15 minutes wandering around the yard trying to get my camera lens to un-fog itself.  It is ‘un-fog’ or de-fog’?  One of the great mysteries of life…

Wicked Walk 7/15/2015

July is always hot in Texas and today was no exception.  I had recently been commissioned to feed the neighbors creatures so I awoke early and walked there and back, taking photos along the way. Here is what I saw. Roadside nettles are always pretty! Morning sunlight thru the trees and on some pinecones…. At…

Wicked Walk 7/1/2015

Coming back from a trip is always a nice thing.  East or west, home is best!  Stripe-Stripe was glad to see me along with all my other little creatures. Here is what I saw. At home. This is Stripe-Stripe’s “Where have you been Mama!?!” face. This is her ‘looking at a flower face’.  It was a…

Wicked Walk 6/24/2015

Wednesday, June 24th was a pretty special walk for me.  I was able to walk at Mt. Vernon, home of George Washington.  The weather was fair and the grounds breathtaking.  To walk the trails and hills he walked, to see the Potomac River from his front porch and meander the halls of his home was quite simply…

Wicked Walk ~ One Year Later

Hi y’all!  I can not believe it has been a year, almost to the day, that I began our Wicked Walk series.  Thanks so much for joining me as I’ve traipsed over creeks, thru meadows, down wooded paths and in other people’s barn.  Across town squares, college campuses and a feed store or two, you…

Daddy Bird

Last Sunday I was attempting to be lazy and take a nap on the sofa when I heard all this horrid chirping outside the window.  Peeking out I saw not only a male cardinal but two wee fledglings.  I suppose the mother was taking a nap, as all mothers need to do upon occasion, so…

Wicked Walk 6/10/2015

As you may recall my computer went kaput and I am running around like a chicken, so not much narrtive today.  Addie walked with me, we encoutered slugs, deer and a giant spider, amoung other things. Here is what we saw. Addie loves the woods! No flower is safe! Then I spotted the deer, first just a…
