I had another day of weather to go shoot in. It wasn’t as thick as last week and there was much higher humidity. Still…I got a few. Any favorites?

I finally saw some weather in North Texas the other day. It is usually sunny or cloudy with no rain or snow. For 24 hours the roads and fields were covered in fog. I had to take advantage of the milky faded horizons. I’m happy with the mix of photos that came out of the drive. I am hoping for another day soon. It has potential for a good series.
It’s not only the smell and the open sky that make Boulder such a nice place. It’s the ability to take a walk at night and encounter an animal larger than myself. To be able to walk in the rain while at the same time watching shooting stars fly by. It’s about not hearing traffic and electricity.
It’s amazing and it never gets old.
A sky-blue balsa wood car winning third place, a river trip with skipping stones and wet socks, and a faded comic book drawn by me but visualized by my father. These are the memories that surround Boy Scouts. I didn’t make it very far. Past Cub Scouts and passing through Webelos I gave it up for more lazy activities. It’s not that I regret it. Looking back, given the religious undertones fixed within the Boy Scouts establishment, I probably did well to avoid any heavenly promises at the expense of a good foundation.
Admittedly, the Boy Scouts often does promote community awareness and the awareness of communities place within nature. Qualifying nature’s position and potential power over community is an important and under valued ideology.
It was inspiring to find a group of young kids from the city admiring the forest. Building a trail for bikes out of a trash filled forest is a good start for a Dallas, a city with almost no nature. I hope the trail works out.
