These clouds are moving south just west of us this evening. We have already had an hour or more of heavy rain…All soaked in.
Nobody was anticipating this. The temperature after the rains moved through was registering 72°…Now back up at 76°. The lightning was amazing! The wind was blowing!
And for over an hour we had [...]

I stepped out on the back steps this morning as the coffee pot dripped and ran into a wall of heat. Yesterday at this time it the thermometer was reading 72°. What a difference a day makes. With this kind of headstart, the afternoon high [...]

Roadtrip Time In Texas
April 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Nature, Photography, Texas, Wildflower Drives
I decided that I needed a roadtrip to hunt for the fields of Bluebonnets that bloom this time of year a few counties to the north and west. Yesterday I made the decision that today would be the day, come what may. It almost looked as if I’d be trying to shoot wildflower photos in [...]

Monday Morning Backs Into Winter
April 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Nature, Photography, weather, writing of place

More spring shots from my afternoon walk of the other day…
In this neck of the woods, [...]

Spring Has Sprung…Fully
April 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · @me, Nature, Photography, weather, writing of place
We had a “cool” front blow through here this morning…Cool is now at 71° and rising. The front brought an hour or so of rain and then clear blue sky.
The real sign of spring though is the cardinals, you know…Red birds chasing other red birds out of their perceived territory. When the cardinals start enforcing [...]
