Sunsets and Deer

Sunsets, Deer & Dancing Spanish Dagger has been in bloom for about 3 weeks in extreme south Texas.  The “pitas”  or yucca blooms come on so early that the season often slips by before I realize it.  This year, I was determined to photograph them and maybe even try a little light painting just after sunset.  Of... »

Spring

Spring is Coming This has been one of the coldest, wettest winters I can remember over the past 21 years.  Spring will be  especially welcomed.  Surely, wildflowers will abound and wild birds will be headed our way.  We are already seeing yuccas in bloom throughout this part of the state in spite of the cold.  I hope to spend a good... »

Rays of Sunlight

    Rays of Sunlight in a Gloomy Winter There are a lot of photographers who prefer cloudy days over sunny ones for their photography.  For me, it’s just the opposite.  I prefer shooting the first and last hour of the day when the light is warm.  Certainly, this winter in south Texas has been testing my patience; it has been downright gloomy since October.  ... »

Our Camp Pet

El Maso has a new camp pet. It seems this snake has decided to take refuge under a water tank right in front of the camp house. I believe it may be a blue indigo but will have to research some info on it. Thanks to Pat Townsend Sr. for catching the threatened animal... »

Hummers on the Wing

Hummers on the Wing September 29th, 2009 Late last week, we finally got a weather front strong enough to create rain.  With it came a fresh wave of migrating hummingbirds, mostly ruby-throated and black-chinned, through south Texas.  Our resident buff-bellied hummingbirds seemed to enjoy the slightly cooler weather.  At our house, the birds were sharing three feeders…most of them preferring a... »
