Rather than today’s picture of the day being the first in the series as is usually the case here, today it will be the last one. You’ll have to make it through this series of pictures, imagining some missing parts, to fully appreciate the ending.Once upon a time there was a panicked bride. On the Wednesday before the Saturday she was getting married, the source for her wedding cake informed her that she would not be able to make her…
“Drying Gum Paste Flowers” Consider this a preview . . .stay tuned.
“Past and Present Meet On The Street” The juxtaposition of the old sign and new sign for this building one on top of the other made me chuckle.
“Ordinary Anniversary” Today is our anniversary. When asked how long we have been married, our typical response is “forty-six years but only three to each other.” We had a short conversation about what we wanted to do to celebrate and came to the conclusion that we are pretty happy with our ordinary days and didn’t really want or feel the need to do anything special.

“Let It Bee”
“Crepe Myrtle” I probably shouldn’t say this, but I am getting tired of taking and looking at pictures of flowers. Don’t get my wrong, I think flowers are beautiful, but there comes a point where I just want to enjoy the real thing rather than photograph them.

You can tell from the expression on her face that she was…
“Saturday Morning in Cowtown” I had to be in Fort Worth this morning at 9am for a presentation at a conference. Though it is only thirty miles from our house to Fort Worth, the traffic and road construction between here and there often make it seem much further. To be on the safe side, we left way early. Since it was 7am on a Saturday morning there was virtually no traffic on the highways, which made the tangle of construction…
“Fountain At Sunset”
“Faulty Fireworks” No, there was nothing wrong with the fireworks that we saw. They were pretty good. Our city had its fireworks display last night. It was a fun comity celebration with music and fun. And best of all, it was free! I was excited to try and get some decent fireworks shot. I have not been very successful with this in the past. Now I know why. This morning, after I had taken a bunch of less than impressive…
