Baytown Eagle in Flight

It's not the shot I'd hoped for, but I was glad to finally get a shot of one of the Baytown Eagles in flight. It was late in the evening for my slow rig so I was excited to get something usable under the circumstances.

Last shot in the SJM series shot last weekend.

Local Longhorn

I have a neighbor with a small herd of Longhorn and I thought I would post a shot of one in honor of the upcoming Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

Here's another shot from Saturdays trip to the San Jacinto Monument.

SJM Shorebird

I took the time out from photographing the SJ Monument Saturday to try a few nature shots off the back trails on the Battleground property.

San Jacinto Monument

I took this shot Saturday morning as the fog started to break.

Positive Disturbance

The band "Positive Disturbance" provided entertainment at one of the water stops for the Baytown Jailbreak Half-Marathon this past weekend.

Crossing the Finish Line

Here's a shot of the winner on the Baytown "Jail Break Half Marathon" crossing the finish line this past Saturday.

And the Winner Is...

I took this shot Saturday morning of the eventual winner of the inaugural running of the Baytown "Jailbreak Half Marathon". This shot is at the foot of the Fred Hartman Bridge on the Baytown side as the runners turned into Bayland Marina at a water stop. I set up in this location to be sure I had the bridge in the background.

Monster Crane

I've been checking out this crane for about a week now. It's located at a plant, I think Lyondell, off of Lawndale near the Richey exit I'm not sure my shot does justice to the extreme size of this thing, but it is a genuine monster.

Hugo Point Foot Bridge

I had several comments about the base image used in my surreal shot "Defiance" yesterday so I though I would post it here. This shot was taken right after a brief shower while the sky was still dramatic.

Defiance

My second shot submitted for the BAPC Honor's Night program was "Defiance", a composite made up of 4 individual shots. The judging panel awarded the shot a "Silver".

Weird Science

The category for last night's BAPC Honors Night program was "Surreal Composition" and this was one of my entries. "Weird Science" in a combination of parts of 5 different images and was awarded a "Silver" by the 3 judge panel.

Houston Street Scene

A street scene from downtown Houston shot through the windshield yesterday afternoon.

Flyover

Last shot from this past weekends fund raiser for disabled vets.

Soldeir-1

Another shot from this past weekends "Homes for the Troops Sporting Clays Tournament" fundraiser.

"Homes for the Troops Sporting Clays Tournament"

Another battle scene from last weekends reenactment during the fund raising event "Homes for the Troops Sporting Clays Tournament" held at Bush Park in West Houston.

General George S. Patton?

Not so much! But this gentlemen was a good enough likeness to be entertaining at the "Homes for the Troops Sporting Clays Tournament" this past weekend.

One of my favorite Patton quotes is "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week." I hope our newly elected Congress thinks of this quote as they work towards cutting the budget and repealing Obamacare.
