A fish tale
There was a brief moment when the rain paused long enough for my friend Tore and I to visit Oak Point Park. This park makes my list of top city parks because there’s always fun wildlife to observe with very … Continue reading A fish tale

Pink Zinnia
Such rich, beautiful color! Photo taken at the Dallas Arboretum. No tripod. No color correction. Just a steady hand and lots of practice! I figured I have posted lots of bugs and creepy crawlies that I should balance the blog with a pretty pink flower. Enjoy. This won’t last. I have great photos of creepy things coming soon. Date: September 9, 2018 Camera: Rockalita Sunshine (Canon EOS 5D Mark IV) Lens: My beloved 100 mm macro lens (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro IS) Continue reading Pink Zinnia
Fire!
I went to the Dallas Arboretum very unprepared. I only had my Canon 5D Mark IV and one set of miniatures. (What a hard life and yes, I carry miniature firemen in my camera bag at all times). I looked for plants that suggested a fire. This plant did the trick.

Spend $100, Receive a Free Flamingo Statue!
Last year I purchased an assembled HO scale building for $5.00. It was a good price, good condition and has great potential. The original signs were still on the windows and the entire building was unpainted. (The plastic really is … Continue reading Spend $100, Receive a Free Flamingo Statue!
A software engineer tries machine embroidery for the first time…
… and he enjoyed it! ________________________________________ I recently taught my friend Tore Bellis how to machine embroider. This was a fair trade because last year he taught me how to solder electronics. I considered what he might like to stitch … Continue reading A software engineer tries machine embroidery for the first time…
Confetti, Balloons & Chocolate
Yesterday I walked in to Dianna’s office minutes (more like seconds) after submitting all my receipts for last month’s credit card expenses. Denise: “Dianna! Did you see?” She of course, had not. It had only been seconds ago. The app … Continue reading Confetti, Balloons & Chocolate
My Work is on the Cover!
Intro: This is a day-in-the-life post about working late at the office and the results of such effort. I felt foolish for working late to embroider a tunic. The design was almost a two hour commitment to embroider. And there … Continue reading My Work is on the Cover!
