I don’t normally go for the vernacular in my writing – but what other word would describe miniatures hanging out on daffodils on a Spring day? Seems like ‘chillaxing’ is the only way to describe the moment! Date: February 24, … Continue reading Chillaxing
This photo is among my favorites that I took at the Dallas Arboretum. I noticed the seed pods and I saw an opportunity to make a meal out of it. Camera: Rockalita Sunshine (Canon EOS 5D Mark IV) Lens: My beloved 100 mm macro lens (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro IS) Notes: The photo took some effort because I had a difficult time getting my model to cooperate. She kept falling over on the uneven ground. But with persistence ‘we’ were able to get the perfect shot. 🙂 Continue reading Dinner is Served
Date: March 9, 2019 Location: Dallas Arboretum Camera: Rockalita Sunshine (Canon EOS 5D Mark IV) Lens: My beloved 100 mm macro lens (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro IS) Notes: The moment was just too perfect.

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.

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!
I showed my friend Tore the progress I was making on an HO scale structure. Tore: “You’re scratch building!” I looked at him and denied it. I questioned if I met the requirements. After all, I measured an existing structure … Continue reading I’m a scratch builder
