This is a variation on the traditional ring shot showing beautiful heart shadows. I have added a small babies ring to complete a family portrait of sorts.

I decided to build a city from nuts and bolts from my Son in laws workshop.

My grandfathers old pocket watch gave me a macro view of the internal workings of time.

The morning fog softens the sunrise to awaken the morning slowly. Thus begins a beautiful spring day on the pond. This was captured with my iPhone 11 in Crowley, Texas in April 2022.

The Bass Performance Hall Grand Facade
The two 48 foot tall angels of The Bass Performance Hall in downtown Fort Worth, Texas draw photographers worldwide. I am blessed to live here and never miss my chance at a photo opportunity with these beautiful cultural icons of North Texas. This photo is one of my favorites.

- Inside the Mini-
Guppy. I think it is interesting
from a symmetric visual concept but the history of what you are looking at is also fascinating. The
Mini-Guppy was originally delivered
to Pan American Airways in 1949 as a
Boeing 377 Stratocruiser (prior to its
conversion), which it flew until 1960
when it was returned to Boeing and
sold to Santa Barbara based Aero-
Spacelines in 1963. Converted to a
Mini-Guppy, it first flew in 1967. After
years of commercial use and ferrying
such interesting items as NASA's
Pioneer 10 Spacecraft (used to
explore Jupiter and the Asteroid Belt)
and Goodyear's Europa Airship, it
was purchased by Erickson Air Crane
in 1988 and used for the transport of
large Air Crane helicopters until 1994
