Pool

Isn't pool such a fun game? At a friend's house, we played pool for about 2 hours. Pool is such a fun game, especially when you are with friends. 

Rolling Hills and Clouds

Just kidding, the ranch still carries on. The wide angled view provides for a great photo. The clouds are specs of gray cotton candy.

Blowing in the Wind

Wrapping up the ranch pictures, outside one of the cabins there was an American flag. A small gust of wind came and started to blow it.

Sunset fountain 

The same sunset as the light picture, this fountain was right in front of the sunset. Focussing on the fountain, I still captured the sunset colors without the clear sunset.

Lighting up the Night

The lights provided some really cool pictures. With the dark sky and bright lights. The only thing in this picture I wished I'd seen before I took it, was the tree branches.

Silent Night

At the late sunset or very early night, the tree was illuminated by the sunset. I was late and the sunset colors had died down, but the light didn't and this tree was right in front of it.

Red Hot Clouds

Happy Martin Luther King Day! Still, at the ranch, the sunset gave me many opportunities for awesome pictures. The sun is roasting the tops of the clouds while the bottoms still haven't felt its effects yet.

Peaking through the Trees 

How was your 13th? Nothing terrible I hope. The trees just made a little window for me to take this picture. I believe we were on a peak of the hill so that's why the trees look very far away.

Sunny Sunrise

Happy Friday the 13th! I hope today won't be too scary. Who knew sunrises are so sunny? I was having to look down to avoid staring into the sun. I think it was the water particles in the air that made the sun brighter.

Tree Green

During our Deer! night time car-ride, I took several flash pictures of trees, grass, and animals. The dark background and colorful trees counter each other makes the tree bright green and the picture amazing.

Deer!

During our ride in the car searching for wildlife, we came across deer. The deer was caught in our headlights and moved into the road which we were driving on.

White Valley

The sun was shining bright while the faint tree is blowing in the wind. It was quite windy and the leaves were hitting me as I was trying to take this shot.

Peaks and Valleys

Life is full of highs and lows. I was in a peak because I was taking pictures of a sunset on a new piece of land. What are you in a peak or valley?

Texas Hills

At our friend's ranch, the sun rose on the hills. It had rained during the night so the fog came and the clouds too. Then the sun came out and the party started.

Wet Leaves

Like Rain Dropped Leaves, these are wet and are green. They are the same bush, different shot. There quite a lot of different shots you can take on one thing.

Wet Flower

Happy New Year! This flower received a little bath. The tiny glistening droplets of water bring out the flower in a very majestic way. 

Stopped

The ball is in the hands of the to the right of 71. The defender has strapped his arms around him and stopped him dead in his tracks. A three-yard loss for the offense.

Fans Eye View

Sometimes a bird's eye view is not available. The next best thing is a view from the stands. Look closely and you can see that the play is about to start, so hut!

Punt

I timed the shot superbly. The kicker is milliseconds from kicking the football. I think the punt ended up in a good spot, I forget.

Football

Hut. My cousin made it into the championship game I went to watch. We won 41-13 win over the Woodlands. It was a very fun game to watch because we were up all of the game. Touchdown Lake Travis!

Reach-In

Number 1 on the defense had a little reach-in problem. I think he might have wanted the ball too much. You got to get those points!

Blocked

At a basketball game, the defense is jumping up and down trying to not let the offense score. It was quite an amazing jump. The teams played very hard to the end, but one had to win and that was my team. 

Merry Christmas and happy holidays

Near my house, there is a house that has many Christmas decorations. Some of them more floating in the air. It almost looks like the ornament is just there in the air with nothing holding it.

Wet and Dry

On the sides of the waterfall ice had formed, in some part better than others. I captured the edge of the ice where it meets the rock. The bottom must be partially gone because we can see the air pocket where the ice meets the rock.

Rolling Sunset

The clouds were rolling in right as the sun was setting. I was very disappointed when the clouds blocked the sunset leaving me with no sunset and dark, gray clouds.

Icy Waterfall

In the same place as yesterday's picture, the center of the waterfall was flowing and not solid. The water came out of the overhang and splashed a little. I set my shutter speed high and took a picture of the 'flying' water.

Icicle

At our frozen pool, icicles formed. The pool was a liquid but on the little waterfall we have, the sides of it were ice. Some were bigger than an inch thick!

Ocean Sunset

The sun literally sitting on the ocean. I would have never gotten this picture if it weren't for Chris C.  What another element the clouds make too.

Needle in the Sky

A church is a perfect place to take photo's. I saw this church and had to take some pictures. I took more than a few that's for sure.

Fall in the City

While at a stop light, I noticed some yellow and green trees. I thought they were gorgeous. Sadly, the road construction was in the way, but it still is an awesome picture.

Rain dropped Leaves

The rain hit these leaves and left very pretty drops. Zoom in and you'll see them very easily, not so much right here.

Street River

During the same time as the Icy River, the rain made many rivers and many good photography opportunities. Like the last one and the many photographs following, this rainstorm is going to be the star of the website.

Light in Darkness

Thanks again Caroline G., sometimes a little lamppost is helpful in the night. This is exactly what she did. I don't know if it was actually dark or if she just made it dark, but the light and dark contrast is one of the best I've seen.

Up High

Down below a flag pole, Caroline G. took this picture. A gust of wind must have just come in because if you look at the flag seems to be flowing ever so slightly.

Up the Cactus

Tip of the hat to Henry M. In this picture, we can see a cactus, which I don't see everyday, and a dark, absolutely beautiful sky. He took the picture from the bottom, which adds some more character to the picture.

Icy Waterfall

During a little rain storm, some water rushed down the side of a street. I call it "icy" because the water was icy cold and I was wearing open toe shoes. Does anyone see the tiny circles (or raindrops) in the stream?

Water Sun

Thanks to Chris C., we can see water and the sun, two words I thought I would never say in a sentence. In this picture they mix perfectly together, the specks of water on the leaves are beautiful.

Dark Walk 

Thanks Caroline G. for this great picture. The camera is leveled right on the ground, perfect for a shot of someone walking. To make the picture even better, she put it in black and white. What a cool picture!

Whole Field

Thanks to Alex S., we can see what a field looks like when no one is on it or in the stands. Normally you see a game going on and fans all around in the stadium, but not today. 

Rolling Waves

Another fabulous picture by Chris C., the rolling "waves" are approaching the sandy beach. I like the darkness of the picture, it makes it seem either early in the morning or late into the sunset.

Gone Fishing

Thanks to my friend Chris C., I have this amazing picture of the ocean and a fishing rod. What goes better? I like how the line is neon orange and the ocean is, obviously, blue. It's a really good contrast of light and dark.

Moon and Sky

The sky and the moon met today. They stayed out extra late and the sun came up a little early. I haven't even mentioned the tree, which is like the rest of the picture, a bit dark like the moon and bright like the sun.

Through the Tree

Like some of my other pictures, this picture features a sun, grass, and some trees. The new thing in this picture is the house and street which adds some more dimension to the picture. The real question is, do you think it is a sunset or sunrise?

Leaves in the Sky

The way that I took the picture makes the branches look almost like water rolling down the window. If you look closely, you can see that the top of the trees are red and the bottom is green.

Frozen Plants

In the morning, the frost covers the edges of most of the grass and leaves that are on the ground. The frost almost makes the plants look like they are sticking out from snow, which I find very interesting because I love the snow.

Fresh Trees

Happy Thanksgiving! Now to the picture, the tree, bright leaves, and blue sky make a beautiful picture. The sun also adds a new element because of what it does to the trees. It brightens some parts of it but not the other parts.

Sun Capped

During the morning hours, the sun just barely hit the tops of houses. What a good shot it made, the fact that half the house is light and the other is dark. The light side and the dark side, Star Wars, if you don't know.

The I-have-no-idea-what-picture-this-is Picture

Somehow I forgot what this picture is. I think it is a tree in front of a street light post. You can only see some of the light and it was at night so you can't see anything else. I will assure you that this is no fire; that is a fact.

Floating Away

A leaf fell into the pool and it floated away. Sadly, my camera isn't waterproof so I couldn't get one of those cool half water and half sky pictures. This angle almost makes it looks like the leaf is floating above the concrete.

Riding off into the Sunset
The ending of a movie, two people riding off on horses into the sunset. Well these three flowers were doing the same thing, riding off into the sunset only they weren't moving, they just were watching the sunset.
