April 11, 2013 - I am not terribly fond of Yellow Jackets based upon childhood experiences but luckily I do not have a phobia.  Though I do get out of the way when one is flying around.

What is interesting about this photo is the white eggs and one larva next to middle leg that you can distinctly see in the cells of the nest.

Day 10/365

Sunday, April 7, 2013
April 6, 2013 - Had a busy day with the camera.  Over 150+ on the memory card.  Most of these were from a XFL football game between the Vipers and the Lonestars.   So the photos from the game will be culled down mercilessly to find some keepers.  Liked this helmet shot.

To make this a twofer to celebrate 10 days strong, I am going to include a candid photo I took at the Texas Vegfest of this guy's bike.

Day 1/365

March 28, 2013 - I was talking photographs at two girls playoff soccer games for The Hill Country News so it was easy to pick this as my first day.

This photo was taken of a Rouse player during a game between Rouse HS and Jack C. Hays HS.  Rouse would go on to win the game and advance further into the playoffs.


Projects Update

There are a couple projects that I am going to be working on. 

One is expanding my Roadside Memorial blog to include Historical Markers and other similar locations. This will include a side effort as well.  I will be submitting some of my work to The Historical Marker Database.  They are missing a large number of Texas historical markers.

The other is a photo a day for one year.  That is 365 consecutive days taking photographs, no matter how awful or mundane.  I have to take a photo somehow with either my phone or with my DSLR.   I will post the days entries here to keep myself honest.  I actually started this last Thursday so will need to catch up.
