WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I really feel dumb. Every post I did on the Sulphur Butterflies we have in our backyard I have called them “Clouded” Sulphurs, not “Cloudless” Sulphurs. In the future, if anyone notices I post something that isn’t true or I’m being a knucklehead, please correct me. I…

Category Archives: Personal Thoughts And QuestionsI’ve noticed over the last couple of weeks that the number of viewers visiting this site have really decreased. That concerns me and makes me wonder why. I’ve tried posting pics with little of the story behind how they were taken as I had assumed that most folks reading just wanted to see the pictures. … Has anyone ever had the wonderful opportunity to have Banana Nut Bread Balls? No? Well let me tell you how to make them per my experience, or you can call this the recipe if you like. Have your significant other decide to make Banana Nut Bread the night before. Taste the delicious Banana Nut Bread… No camera talk, but it is something I wanted to ask others about. Coco, our African Grey has started picking her feathers the last 2-3 days. She’s doing this with such intensity that she’s actually making herself bleed a little bit. I know African Grey’s are notorious feather pickers, but Coco has never done this…  Yesterday I decide to take my car in to a well known, nationwide tire repair company because I had a nail in one of my tires and it has been slowly leaking. Three hours later I get a call saying “We patched your tire and got you all fixed up (long pause)..but we have a… I bit the bullet and ordered a new camera, the Canon EOS 7D. I was fortunate enough to have pre-ordered the camera on September 2nd, as most places have already filled their initial allotment from Canon. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the camera won’t arrive until Monday and I hope I’m… Just wanted to mention a couple of things about this new website. First, if you click on the pictures, it “should” open up a new window and allow you to view the picture in a larger size. I was having trouble with it last night, but today it seems to be working a bit better. … Whew, what a week! So much for the easy migration to a new site. Anyway, I’m not going to start complaining (yet), I’m just glad you’re visiting my new blog. I’m hoping that everything from my old blog at texdr.wordpress.com has successfully transferred over. If you subscribed at my old blog, you’ll need to re-subscribe… In just the couple of short months I have been doing this, I have come close to outgrowing its capabilities. As a result, I will soon (I will notify everyone beforehand) begin migrating this site over to a new website. At first it should look exactly the same as it does now. However, with this… A recent comment from a new poster got me to thinking about Timothia again. Before I continue, I know some of you just want to see pictures and don’t care for when I go into personal thoughts and reflections, but that’s the beauty of my blog. Sometimes I get to utilize this site as my… I just couldn’t resist. I pre-ordered the newly announced Canon EOS 7D. It won’t be shipping until the end of September and I may not have ordered soon enough for it not to go on backorder before it is released. We shall see. If you’re interested in the specs and a preview check out DPReview.com…. Before I start posting a bunch of pictures tonight (Saturday) I wanted to just share some thoughts for whomever may be interested. I’ve been posting lots of pictures of the Hummingbirds because right now I am experiencing a lull in Butterflies in the backyard. That being said, I did see a Monarch caterpillar feeding yesterday. … I figure I’m wearing them out already. I also know (based on daily visits), that folks don’t particularly like to hear me complain either. In either case, I’m still going to whine a little bit. I’m not getting home until after dark which means that I haven’t been taking pictures. Seriously, it is frustrating to… Ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? I’m having two of those days in terms of Photography. Yesterday (Saturday) I planned on waking up at first light to take pictures of the Birds (Backyard and Hummingbird). Well, it didn’t happen. I just felt tired. Last night, was all ready to… You guy certainly don’t like my rants based on the number of views per day. I think I need to focus on photography and add minimal comments so they more people find this blog enjoyable and helpful. So, how about a game? I’ll see what kind of responses I get before trying it, but here… |
