About That Small Vacation...
Hey, it's been a while. I'll work on a catch-up post, but I did mention a small vacation.
How small? Oh, only a seven day cruise to the Western Caribbean. So yes, we did get a good deal on the cruise, and yes, we sprung for the deluxe drink package, along with several excursions. ...

Lightning Achievement Unlocked!
I've been hoping for years to get a lightning photo. Any photo would do - I just wanted to capture a lightning bolt.
Tonight was the night. And I'm glad I wasn't out for perfection or I'd never have gotten the shot. I was in the car at a traffic light with my cell phone. So yes, it's not the best quality, but I'm really happy to have done it!

Behold! Eclipse Pictures!
I'm in North Texas, so we had a lot of cloud cover. Also had camera trouble. However, the clouds parted for at least a portion of totality, and it was awesome. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Unless I want to spend a ton of money to go to another location. I don't think that's going to happen.
Anyway, have some pictures!

A Two-Week Vacation With NO DSLR
I know I'm late on this. It's been a fall.
We finally got a vacation in September - two weeks in the UK! Then we brought home an unwanted souvenir. Of course, work really backed up, and so, here we are in mid-December.
I did spend my illness - brain fog and all - putting together a journal of our vacation. You can see it here.
Normally I lug along a DSLR and a coupl...

A Little Virtual Housekeeping
I'm making a few changes to the site. Mainly updating a few things here and there. You may not even notice some of the changes. At any rate, the site is in serious need of updating, and I plan to squeeze that task in over the coming weeks.
And yes, the cat tax must be paid. Have an inscrutable Daenerys.

Macro Shots With the S23
A few weeks back we both upgraded our phones to the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Man, it's a nice phone. Of course, I have to put the camera through its paces. Today's exercise was macro photography. Of course, it's May in Texas, so the winds here aren't exactly calm. I did the best I could. These shots are straight from the camera. The only change I made was to resize them for the journal, which is generally standard for most of my photography. After all, why force you to wait on gigantic images?

Pictures For A Cloudy Day
It's a bit of a nasty day here: cloudy and windy with rain off and on. Of course, that makes it a challenging opportunity to find some color in the gray. I got lucky when the sun poked through the clouds and the wind died down a bit. I managed a couple of halfway decent pictures.
A fo...
