Today while riding bikes on the Trinity River we were passed by this group of young cowboys and cowgirls….strange as that may seem in some cities…it really isn’t unusual here in Fort Worth. This is a city that celebrates its “cowboy” heritage and proudly claims the nickname Cowtown.
Due to procrastination and router issues, I am posting day 17 on day 18. I will post day 18 later this evening.
Today was such a beautiful day in North Texas. After a week (plus) of cold temperatures, gray skies and even some rain, we finally returned to temperatures in the 60’s (F) and blue skies.
I took some time to walk around a local pond and snap pictures of the ducks. I caused quite a ruckus when several younger ducks waddled up to say hi. The older ducks quickly followed and started hissing (like cats!) at me (or the ducks I’m not sure). No matter who their hissing was aimed at it was obvious they didn’t want us to spend any significant time together! (Muscovy Ducks)
Then there was this little guy…I just thought he was cute! He is a Northern Shoveler.
And what duck photo shoot is complete without a picture of a Mallard Duck?
I really like old signs. Too often, when I find an old sign, the original business is long gone.
Today I noticed this old sign, that I really like and would love to see lit. Then noticed the newer, more modern sign across the lot. What an opportunity….the old and the new all in one shot!
I wonder how many of you see something out of the corner of your eye as you are driving down the street and immediately circle back so you can take a picture?
I do it all the time! Fortunately my job requires me to drive all over our county to visit clients. Thanks to this job requirement I spend a lot of time in the car. I am constantly watching for unique objects or beautiful scenery or even interesting shapes. I also try to notice the things I think many people drive by everyday and never see.
The picture I chose to post tonight I think is an extremely unique bench. It actually sits in the corner of someone’s yard on a very busy street. Surprisingly it was found only 5 or 6 blocks from my office….yet I’ve never noticed it (my excuse…I rarely drive this direction!)
Today, as I caught sight of this unique bench, I ditched the busy street and went around the block so I could take pictures of it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I was sitting here debating what photo to post tonight. I noticed Maggye, the long haired chihuahua, laying beside me looking extremely cute….how could I resist!
Yes, she is wearing a pink sweater…please don’t judge me!
Last night I posted a picture of Sinclair Gasoline’s mascot the dinosaur. Tonight’s picture includes more of the station. It resembles how the station once looked. There is a great deal of memorabilia inside the station and out.

A few weeks ago I was driving around town looking for industrial shots for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge. When off in the distance what did I see? Well it certainly wasn’t a jolly old guy, but I thought it might be an excessive amount of Christmas decorations.
As I got closer I realized these were not Christmas decorations….but what were they?
Wow! Beer can art? Recycling gone bad? Or simply a man with a little too much time on his hands?
I think this gentleman (yes I’m assuming NO woman would do this!!) may need to start a blog…what do you think his topic would be?!
Visit Cee’s odd ball photo challenge for more unique photos!
Happy Birthday Sonya!
