16.5 minute exposure of the night sky over the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. The moon did not contribute to this photograph, much to my dismay.

Bonnie spins Poi at the Lewisville Dike.

Steel fibers, fluffed, lit, and provided plenty of oxygen by spinning it on the end of a chain. Probably not something you should try at home.

Taken as Hurricane Ike passed the Dallas, TX area to the East.

It’s getting colder and colder each night this time of year. With no daylight hours available to me on weekdays, and the outside air being too cold to stand in without a jacket, gloves, a hat, and a bright red nose, I may have to confine myself to indoors and studio work on weekdays until the weather warms up.

This photograph in particular had me standing for 8 seconds trying my best not to convulse as the cold air ate through my skin. A jacket would have been nice.

The glow of the last drops of light from the setting sun lights up the southern arm of Lake Texoma in the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge.
