Notes: Considering how long I’ve had Big Bertha’s Adventures, I think this is the first time I’ve featured Kibbles in a blog.  I wish it was under better circumstances.  5/15/15 will be remembered as a very sad day. Three events … Continue reading Her name was Kibbles Anthony Lisieux Holguin

Of all the photos from today I chose this one…

April 6, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

Of the almost 300 photos I took today and the additional 300 from yesterday, I decided the best photo to feature was this ant.  Now the question is why? I didn’t plan on photographing a dead ant.  In fact, I … Continue reading Of all the photos from today I chose this one…

I got to “play hooky” on Monday with my boss’s approval.  It was the perfect day for the Dallas Arboretum. When I returned to the office on Tuesday, my boss asked,  “What was the highlight of your trip to the Arboretum? … Continue reading I watched a ladybug eat!

Christmas Day at the Dairy!

December 26, 2014February 9, 2022 bigbertha

Four years ago I had the best Christmas…touring a dairy.  The photos I took are among my favorites.  I hoped, (no, I longed) to return to the dairy, with my Canon 5D and improved photography skills.  Today was that day. I … Continue reading Christmas Day at the Dairy!

June 9, 2014February 9, 2022 bigbertha

There wasn’t a plan.  We just drove until we came upon Lake Ray Roberts. We finished admiring the lake and I managed to take a photo of a woman carrying a basket of fish.  My friend Tore was explaining that … Continue reading Catch of the day!

Baby Shoes and a blanket named Umpy

April 9, 2014February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I took a small stash of cash out at the ATM and headed to a photography studio that is going out of business.  My plan was to stay focused and purchase camera equipment—maybe stands or backdrops.  I have no need … Continue reading Baby Shoes and a blanket named Umpy

Withered yet still a striking beauty!

October 26, 2013February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I didn’t want to let the roses go to waste after they were past their prime.  So I let them dry.  These drooping, sad looking roses make a great subject for photography! I started out with a rose on a … Continue reading Withered yet still a striking beauty!
