the undertaker

His real name is Dale, but he's known by many (former Texas Ranger pals) as "the undertaker". What character he has, he's one of the sweetest guys I know.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


I always watch the sky at sunset...even if I'm inside, when I know the sun is going down, I have to see if there is something wonderful to capture. Every once in a while, when the clouds are just right and the sun is in the perfect spot, I get something spectacular. Lovely.

rodeo fairgrounds

I try to take the kids out to the rodeo every year on their "dollar day", it costs a dollar to get in the gate, a dollar for each ride, etc...they have a blast - and there are many educational exhibits out there, so we call it a field trip and don't do any worksheets for the day.

We got a pretty decent parking spot this year across the street. THAT was not a dollar, and just after I took this photo, a guy came and told me to keep the kids off the grass, but I love this shot.
