West Texas children love the rain! A short afternoon cloudburst gave my grandkids just the right conditions for running barefoot. Happy feet - Happy kids.
Steve and I were working in the backyard this beautiful Sunday evening. Toward the West, we began to see clouds building. The lightening strikes became more frequent so I thought I'd give a try at capturing one with my camera. I stood on a chair in the middle of my backyard holding the camera up. After just a few tries, I got the shot I wanted.
It was a bright, December Sunday morning. The choir was making its way in to rehearse for the worship service. I think that our stained glass window is one of the prettiest I've ever seen, but I had never witnessed the sun's rays bursting through. Luckily, I had my camera.
Ruidoso, New Mexico is my favorite vacation spot. And there is no place I'd rather be than in the middle of these tall trees to escape from the world. The sun rays gleaming through the trees caught my eyes this particular morning. I can't walk this path without thinking of the greatness of God.
I am thrilled to hear that my friends and family are stopping by to see my photos. I enjoy sharing them. Maybe soon I'll be able to take a photography class and buy a REAL camera..... I shot these pictures with a Kodak Easy Share!
I have found that nothing made with human hands can match the beauty of God's handiwork. Everywhere I travel, my camera goes too. Sometimes my road trips take a little longer than expected. Not because of a slow speed, but because of photo breaks along the way.
I can't believe this photo. I was in a nursery in west Odessa looking at Native plants. I saw this dragonfly going from bloom to bloom. He was particularly interested in the blossom next to me. He sat and sat and let me photograph him. I'd like to take the credit for being a fabulous photographer, but I was just lucky.
