I took the camera and tripod to the Pearland library, which has a decent view of “The Rig” at Pearland High School, where the city fireworks show was this year. My first ever attempt at shooting fireworks (I have made similar photos of lightning). The results are not too bad. What you see below is [...]

Summer and I went to the barn this afternoon to take care of the horses. I grabbed my camera and snapped a few random shots. Except for the first and last photos, these were all shot at the barn or on the way there.

One of these days, my daughters will learn: if you take silly photos of yourself – or have a friend take them – delete them from the camera after you’ve had your laughs! If you don’t, Dad will publish the photos on his weblog.

We drove to Seguin last night and stayed in a local hotel so we could arrive on time for the 9 AM show at Blue Streak Stables. It looked like a well organized camp; the camp leader would yell out "Heyhey!" and all the campers would holler back "Bluuuuue Streak!" They put on a show [...]
