My Little World

The more you travel, the less you see ... pause.

Lake in the morning ... before the heat.

Overdue morning run.

My Little World.

My little world ... discovered.

Shelter in the shade.

Hotdog ... i mean hot dog.

Goodyear. Fail.

See something?

Watchin me.

Guess i'm a threat?

A baby needs watchin over.

Another tree'd.

I'm ready to go home, dave. Thanks.

A Rare Commodity In Oklahoma

Water, water, water ...

Cool, clean, water.

Driven by extreme heat and thirst, the rare and deadly tree frog. As a boy, I was so afraid of this creature, dropping out of the heights and taking me away. More commonly found in the woods of Vermont. Unwary campers and treehuggers .... Beware.

Driven be extreme heat and thirst, the bitatawa giant lizard. More commonly found on the islands of Luzon, an invasive species to Oklahoma inadvertently transported by an unwary laid back coffee farmer wearing sandals from Bolivia ... Beware.

No Snow In Oklahoma

What Native Americans called this place when brought to the reservations.

25+ plus consecutive days of plus 100 degrees - Sweet Baby Jesus.

Add one more day to the list.

Watering the plants. Fail.

Green replaced with red.

Relief for a moment as the sun hides.

Flowers replaced with tall, tall weeds.

Where'd the fairway go?

Some plants tolerate better than others.

Tongue.

Final Tally for the day

Maybe Next Year

4th of July Fireworks  -  all set up: good location, tripod, manual settings, ready to experiment long exposures ... just waiting for the show to begin. The first shots captured - ecstatic for more that is forthcoming - then my error. I learn from my mistakes - took my beautiful Angel with me and after the first shells exploded, well, she was terrified to say the least. What to do? Keep shooting as planned or comfort my little freightened cocker spaniel? I shut the camera off. Maybe next year. 

So enjoy a few.
