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.
I snapped this picture quickly while cutting through downtown yesterday. The church you see is the First United Methodist and even though it is a beautiful church it is not the reason I took the picture.
I took the picture because I feel the pristine blue sky is quite deceiving! It has been very cold here the last few days (20’s and 30’s F). On one hand I enjoy the blue skies…they almost make the cold tolerable. On the other hand the blue skies make me think I can run outside in my shorts to do any fun activity…then the bitter cold wind hits and I must run back in!
I know weather is relative. Many of you live in places much colder than Texas. But my reality is…I didn’t move to Texas to be cold! I could’ve stayed up North for this!
Anyway…pristine blue skies always make for a lovely background. Even if it is misleading!
Bass Hall is one of my favorite buildings in Fort Worth Texas. I especially enjoy looking at this building at night when the lights and shadows share space on the walls.
A concrete forest?

“Photos are visual spaces where shapes and lines, objects, and people come together. Geometry in photography — shapes, diagonals, vanishing points….”
I have always been fascinated with photos and drawings of objects vanishing in the distance. An object that goes so far it disappears into the horizon. Objects like a railroad line or a country road.
Traveling through the wide open spaces of West Texas this past weekend I found many examples of vanishing points…here are two of the scenes I captured

It is migration time in Texas. The Monarch Butterflies are passing through. I went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and the Dallas Arboretum and was lucky enough to stand among hundreds of butterflies.
As I zoomed in to get pictures of the monarchs I felt overwhelmed by their beauty and amazed by the journey they were undertaking.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is to find Circles and Curves.
As I looked around Fort Worth Texas, I realized there were many items that matched the challenge description and explained why this city is still (proudly) called Cowtown.
