Soccer Season

I am cheating a bit here on photos. I didn't get a picture taken today since I was gone for work from 7 am until 8:30 pm and it was nasty rainy outside all day anyway. However, soccer season started this weekend and I need to put up at least one photo from yesterday. There are so many to choose from, sports photography being one of my top choices but I chose this one for really capturing an instant in time. The game is all about so many of these moments, but it looks almost choreographed as a still frame. Here's to soccer season 2010!

Great Dane

I caught this shot of beautiful Brynson at the soccer game today. She's sporting her new collar and was just glowing in the bright sunlight, especially against the bright blue sky. I took this with my big lens, as I went down hill and looked back up at her from a distance. It's one of my favorite shots of her now.

Webbed

I went over to the "duck" park looking for my duck family that I've watched grow this past year. I couldn't find them at first, then I saw one little head peek out and then another. I went over closer to see them and found that there's a new batch of babies. Only three of them in this set and the parents are young, they may very well be babies from the last set. The ducklings are adorable but my favorite picture is this one as I caught momma duck scratching her head with one of those bright orange webbed feet of hers.

Butterflies...continued

I had to go on another photo hike today, this weather is just to perfect to stay inside! This time I saw more of the same and some fun and different as well. I caught this butterfly in action but still lit nicely against the beautiful blue sky like the one from yesterday. It's butterfly season here.

Butterfly Skies

Summer is ending which means I am not only back to work but the summer weather is finally passing and we had a gorgeous day today. Having started a new job, I haven't spent much time on photography and last weekend I found that I was feeling a bit rough on my skills. After work today, I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and I went out for a photo hike. I had a great time and got several shots I'm happy with but this one struck me. I was excited when this butterfly landed and I could capture the sun and sky just as you see them here.

Storms

This is horrible picture quality but for some reason it's the only one I got of the storms. We have really enjoyed the rain and especially the cooler weather that came along with it. Maybe fall is coming to Texas...

Good Morning Sun

This morning's drive to work looked like this with the sun peeking through some clouds in stripes. It was cool and calm and quiet. My new drive to work is a bit different but I'm still on somewhat back roads for quite a bit of the trip and I enjoy the view.
