Veteran Golf

These veterans lost their legs during combat. As a way to thank and help the wounded soldiers, President Bush started having the veterans play golf with him and others. This is the last photo from the Bush Presidential Library and Museum because tomorrow I am starting a series of Dallas's Arts District. One that I think you will really like.

Mr. Jim

This portrait, made by President Bush, was on display. This man's name is Jim Woodson. Once President Bush finished his time as the President, he started making oil paintings. He made the paintings of soldiers and veterans. This was a way for him to fill his time and try out a new hobby, a hobby that President Bush seems to be very good at.

A Meal Fit for the President

This soup plate was used by President George Bush in his international dinner. The President hosted leaders from around one hundred countries. This silver plate has gold in the center and outside circles. This makes the plate very expensive, but if you're the President you would want only the best.

America

This American Flag has some of the words spoken by George Bush in his inauguration speech. I like this piece for three reasons, in is 3 dimensional, I has images of American Citizens, and is the American Flag. This is an amazing quote too. The magnitude of the words the George Bush said were some of the greatest words said, even if his presidency wasn't the best.

President Beazley Weazley

George Bush had 2 dogs, one of them was named Beazley Weazly. The dog seen here. He was the First Dog of America. Beazley was a gift from George to his wife Laura. In George's museum, he has a bronze statue of Beazley and his other dog. Beazley is a Scottish Terrier and his other dog, Spotty, was an English Springer Spaniel.  

Giddy Up

I went to visit the Bush Library and Museum in Dallas and was able to see a full size almost exact replica of the Oval Office. In George Bush's office, he had many pictures and art pieces showing off him and his past successors. You will see some George Washington, and other United States symbols and signs.

Flower

For a flower to grow it needs pollen and other essentials to survive. Bees provide some of these essentials for the flower. Outside where the flowers are, I spotted multiple Bees and a Butterfly. I didn't capture the Butterfly but captured the Bees on the flowers, like this picture here. Are you still remembering to Bee happy?

Flower Fingers

The flower outside of my house have these pink 'fingers' growing off of it. They might be for trapping food, or for decoration, or for food for others. Whatever they are, or whatever you might think it is, it sure is beautiful. Just another visual sign of how beautiful nature is and how much we need it.

Home Run

It was one of the many home runs hit by Joey Gallo. This was one of the many hits that I captured. This was Joey's lucky moment when he was the star and was one of the home runs that helped the Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals. Hopefully, today will be your day and you will hit your 'home run.'

Pop Fly

Sometimes your hits aren't always where you want them to be, this was one of them. The Rangers had a hit straight up and straight down. The straight into the left fielder's glove. This was another one of the 27 outs, but this one just one of those outs that just had to happen.

Out

If you predicted that Mike would get out, You were correct. Mike hit the ball to the right fielder and the was thrown out. This was just one of the 27 outs that are needed to receive the win or loss. In this game, the Rangers won one of few up until the 10-day winning streak. Now they are around 50% wins and losses.

Hit

Mike Moustakas had is hit, this was his pitch. I lined up and as Yu Darvish threw the pitch, I started my 10 picture series of pictures. This was the best picture out of the 10. Mike had just hit the ball and the ball just hit the ground. Tomorrow's picture will give you the ending of the hit. Will he make it to first or will he be one of the 27 outs?

Swing and a Miss

When batting at the major league level, you sometimes miss. This is what Rougned Odor did, he took a huge swing and missed. Luckily for him, he had a hit the next pitch. Sometimes when swinging, in life and baseball, you miss. But you never know when that 'home run' is about to come. It could even be your next pitch.

Sunset Flight

These ducks were in my pool when I ran out and scared them away. They took a slight running start, then they took flight. They flew over my head and through the trees. Like the Canadian Geese, from Colorado, these birds were also flying in unison. I wonder if this is a thing or if it is just a convenience.

Sea Scapes

These might not be your normal skyscrapers, but this wooden platform extends into the ocean. In the last picture, you could only see the blue and green, in this picture we can see another color. The dark blue created by the sand, the light blue is the sun reflecting off of the sand that is close to the surface. Another stunning shot by Chris C.

Folding Wave

Spring is a world wide season, in this picture we see it from the beach. The green and blue water that are flowing onto the sand. We even have the whitecaps, the white bubble on the top of the waves. What an amazing shot Chris C. Come back tomorrow for another shot by Chris.

Shaded Walk

Nothing beats a good old walk. Except for a good old walk in the shade. This short shaded walkway led to a series of four large frogs. Luckily for me, the people weren't in the walkway at this time so I was able to get a good shot without all of the people. At least the shade wasn't complete so you could still see something under the trees.

Wavy Waterfall

This is the 300th post. We now have 5000 page views from all around the world including Europe and Asia. Coming from the higher pond to the lower pond, these miniature waves are the cause of the uneven rocks below. Then the waves all off the ledge and into the smaller, lower pond. There must have been some algae on the rocks below because the water turned green as soon as it hit the rocks before the ledge. What a cool water feature, since I'm all into the water and water features.

Monkey Snack

These sculpted Monkeys were hungry, so they got a banana. I like how the sculptor made the face have a different texture and color from the rest of the body. It's like the face is glowing from the sunlight. This sculptor must have been really good because I know I could have not done this.

Tree Bright

As the sun shined directly behind this tree and surrounding plants, it brightened them up and made them pop out more. You can really see the color palettes from every single tree. The red one, green, and brown. If I could go back and change one thing, it would be taking down the exposure to make the picture not as bright and not as white.
