Another bridge

This is a bridge on one of the hiking trails at Brazos Bend State Park, near Needville, Texas.

Their website is http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/brazos_bend/.

My wife, grandson, and I spent Sunday there, hiking and watching birds and alligators, the major attraction, and we did see at least a dozen of various sizes.

Brazos Bend State Park

Went out to Brazos Bend this morning to see some alligators. We were fortunate enough to see a dozen or so. More pictures will be posted on PapawsImages .

Tool Talk

My tool forum is down at the moment. We have been making changes to Papawswrench and made some coding errors that caused a disconnect to Tool Talk. If anyone cares, be assured that it will be back up as soon as possible.
Papawswrench is being updated with new wrenches, sold wrenches archived, and new pictures to come soon. Papawswrench will also have Paypal buttons and a shopping cart in the near future, and will be easier to navigate. My nephew, James Goodman, is doing the upgrading and will have a link there for those who may need web development in the future.

In addition, both 67-72chevytrucks.com and Streetcruizin.com are experiencing outages as a result of a fire in the building housing their servers. They also will be back soon.

More bridges

Here are several shots of bridges I saw Saturday.

Bridges

I seem to find bridges everywhere. These three are all within a few miles of home, and I revisit them often.

My Firefighter son, Michael

Can't get more serious than a dedicated volunteer firefighter!!
Here is a LINK to a Photobucket album of shots from a Saturday training session for volunteer firefighters.

My son Michael is a member of the Liverpool Texas Volunteer Fire Department. Here he is fighting a mobile home fire Saturday, March 22.

Photo forum

The Friendly Photo Forum I am part of has a weekly challenge to do some different kind of shot each week to help us learn more about photography. This week's challenge was to do a little "trick" photography with our cameras, without Photoshop.
One entry in particular is interesting. Katiblue showed us her son Kyle's "little" brother.


I used a little Lego man to look like he was VERY strong.

Human Statue of Liberty

This is an amazing photo! 18,000 soldiers and officers forming a Statue of Liberty at Camp Dodge in Iowa, in 1918.
We could use more of this kind of patriotism today.

Fred Hartman Bridge

How about this view of the bridge cables?

Swap meet

I spent a few hours at Houston Raceway Park at a swap meet, and visiting with some friends from 67-72chevy.com . This Photoshow is most of the people and things that caught my eye.

Foggy Morning

On our local hike and bike trail on a foggy Monday, I shot these pictures.

Friends

Leaf-footed bug

We call these Stink-bugs around here, but they are Lepto-glossus Oppositus. This one likes to crawl on a Bromeliad in our back yard.

Valentine

Hope all were treated well on Valentine's Day this year.
My daughter's Malti-Poo thought she should have some chocolate. The 3 pound chocolate heart is about her weight!

Pictures from the past

One of me in Tanzania in 1968, after a long trek across the Serengeti, and one from about 1976 with a 1949 Harley Panhead I used to own.
