Sunset on the Field

Although the sunset is not the absolute best sunset, you can see a partial sunset over an empty football field. I haven't even mentioned the clouds up top, they look like tiny drops of water placed in the sky.

Hut

On my last picture of the Red River Showdown series, I had to choose this picture. The reason I named this picture Hut is because is you look closely than you can see that the ball is midway between the center and quarterback.  

Lines of People
To the left of our seats you can see the rows and lines of people. Somehow I took the picture right as 5 of the people in the camera view looked at me, I'm just taking a picture people come on!

Daylight and Shade
In the Texas heat some shade is pretty nice considering there are metal bleachers and 92,000 people around you. It is like you are stepping out from a sauna and into the sweet AC. I said that the heat probably was blamed for 70% of the injuries.

Flying High Over the Stadium
No matter what event or pretty much where ever you are you can see the American or, in this case, the Texas flag. Sadly, the camera crew and part of the crowd was in the way of the shot.

Half and Half

If you have even been to the Red River Showdown you would know that half the stadium is red and the other half is orange. I know this picture is not the best, but can you see the separation?

The Red River Showdown

Howdy folks! Welcome to the Red River showdown/ Texas State Fair photo theme. Starting off with the Texas/ OU football game then heading into the state fair theme. Trust me, I've got many pictures lined up for the next multiple days.  

Bright Lights

Extremely similar to my last picture, "The Only thing Shining," I used both my flash and the same tree to take this picture. The only thing I changed is that fact that I have another tree in the picture. Just if you were wondering, the back tree is not dead, its just the way the flash is.

Double Waterfall

It not everyday that you see a double waterfall but I was lucky to see one, well if you call the water flowing swiftly over the rocks a waterfall. It is almost as good as the one at Yellowstone National Park or something!

 The Only thing Shining

Just outside my front door there is a tree. During my short walk between the newspaper and front door I took this picture. Obviously I used my flash because the tree looks like it is in day time while the sky is black.

Specs on a Flower
Succeeding a rain storm and while the clouds where still gray and the rain had not evaporated yet, the flower had specs of rain water on it. The rain water kind of looks like tiny, tiny mirrors.

A Picture of a Picture, Two
Like a picture of a picture, a picture of a picture, two, it also consists of a mosaic and it revolves around my peacock theme. This especially fits with my peacock theme because of the star of the picture, the peacock mosaic.

On Top of the Rock
Both on top of the rock and staring right at the camera, this peacock is the perfect poser. He must have obviously known that I was taking pictures because like the last peacock picture, he too was looking straight at me.

Picture of a Picture

Continuing on the peacock theme, I saw this mosaic and it seemed perfect for the blog. I took some close up and some pictures from this angle I chose this angle because you can capture the whole mosaic and some of the roof.

Head of a Peacock
I spotted some peacocks and I took some headshots. I am pretty sure the peacocks knew what I was doing because as soon as I started to take pictures, the peacocks looked my way. Then you look behind the peacock into the eyes of the beautiful green bushes.

Black, White, and Blue

The tree in front of the blue and white sky canvas is the black paint to this canvas. This picture has such depth and such clarity that it is hard to believe that this is my picture!

Wisps of Clouds
When I went outside, I came right back inside to get camera to take this picture. The clouds look like strings of silk and who doesn't love some soft silk?

Streaks of Sun

In between the clouds and tree are tiny streaks of sun. You can barely see them but once you find them they are really neat to look at. Not to mention the cool looking clouds too.

Minty Veins
Our neighbors garden consisted of many different type of plants and shrubs. I stopped and took many pictures of the plants and shrubs but the one the spoke out to me was this one, it is a close-up picture of a mint leaves.

Front and Center

As I focused on the railing, the background started to fuzz up. If I focused on the background it would have been a nice garden of flowers behind the intricate design of the railing but I thought the railing looked cooler so I focus on it instead.
