My 15 minutes of fame!

September 16, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

It was an ordinary day at work—except this time, I was asked to shoot the cover project for the magazine. The catch—we needed it “yesterday”.  To deal with the stress of a deadline, I put myself in a mental bubble—operating … Continue reading My 15 minutes of fame!

Ant on the Run

July 20, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

This is part of my ongoing Industrious Ant Series.  When I stopped to adjust my camera settings this ant had fled the scene by at least 2 feet.  It’s very frustrating to focus on a tiny ant on the run, … Continue reading Ant on the Run

A moment in time

June 29, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I was sifting through a month’s worth of photos this evening – not a task I enjoy.  But the alternative was to catch up on work.  Photo sorting won out – at least for a few minutes! This photo was … Continue reading A moment in time

May 18, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

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

Random Button

May 15, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

Party at the Prickly Pear Blossom!

May 12, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I can’t take all the credit for this photo.  My friend Tore spotted this bloom and alerted me.  He knows I specialize in photos with creepy crawlers.  (Admittedly, I’m probably the only one that likes them.  But I’m documenting nature … Continue reading Party at the Prickly Pear Blossom!

Monstrous Beauty

April 23, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

This amazing specimen was spotted outside a photography studio we use at work.  Although our work was complete for the day, I knew I’d spend at least a half hour taking photos.  It was too interesting not to photograph.  It … Continue reading Monstrous Beauty

April 22, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I took a Monday off from work last month to visit the Dallas Arboretum.  Zero color/lighting adjustments were made to the photos in Photoshop or any other program.  What you see is what I photographed just as I saw it. … Continue reading Elegance in the Garden
