I did the Ride for Heroes this morning. It was very foggy as we were lining up to take off. The good news is…the fog lifted once we got out on the trail and the fog made for a really cool photo!
Ride for Heroes – start line
The whole family…
Aren’t they cute?
Any chance my dog thinks he is a cat?

Back in January, Day 25 of the 365 Days of Photos, I posted photos of an abandoned house in West Texas. Tina and I have been making quite a few trips to West Texas over the last several months to visit with her dad.
One thing about making repeated trips to a place that has few alternative routes is you start to recognize landmarks. This past weekend we realized the abandoned house I had taken photos of 3 months ago had burned to the ground.
I found it sad to see such a beautiful old house sit abandoned and even worse to see it destroyed by fire. Someone’s memories were in that house. Someone grew up there, someone farmed there and someone shared that space with family and friends. Now it is gone….sad.
This picture was taken from a rest area on west bound Interstate 20 in Palo Pinto Texas. From the parking lot I could see an amazing tapestry of greens behind the rest area. I couldn’t help myself…I grabbed my camera and headed toward the bluff overlooking this sea of greens.
This part of Texas is West of Fort Worth (maybe 45 minutes) but before the true “West Texas – desert lands” begin. No too much farther along this highway and the landscape turns brown.
We went to west Texas this weekend. I took my bike along for a little ride.
I thought about riding to Roswell NM…then thought better of it!! Instead I rode 30 miles. Longest ride of the season…so far!!
I saw well plowed fields….
and lots of cows!
Hershey enjoyed a photo shoot today….even though the wind blew her mustache uncontrollably!
I drive by this field fairly often. I love the brightness of the greens and the island of trees and bales of hay in the middle of the field.
Back in February my friend and fellow blogger Amy from, The World is a Book, posted a picture of Tarrant County College in downtown Fort Worth. Her angle of the campus was fabulous and she was kind enough to mention me in her post.
Earlier this evening I was biking on the Trinity River Trail and happened past the campus. i thought of Amy and the picture she posted. I decided to stop and get a shot of the campus from the opposite angle that Amy had taken her photo. So here it is…
