As I was flying into Amarillo, I photographed this tornadic super-cell just

north of the city with my Panasonic Lumix fz1000. I wish it was a bit

sharper but I was shooting through a thick aircraft plexi. I shot about 200

frames and finally nabbed one showing the tornado back-lit.

A different approach to an engagement photo - photographed in rural Texas on a found castaway couch. 

I used to see the F-111s at Cannon AFB  doing this - but alas they have all been retired here. They called it a "Party Trick."

Great capture! 

Two Red Tail Hawks play sky tag. I Think they are siblings. Thanks for

looking!

I photographed several people who sat on this ledge watching a block party downtown - but this was the best poser. 

I hate to be a nit-picker but that is an "arcus" cloud- the formation sticking down behind it in the background is a wall cloud.  Great shot but I'd desaturate the blue a bit and lighten it up.

Keep up the good work! 

Caught this supercell to the west-dying as the sun set. It made for a dramatic

end to a hot August day in northwest Texas. Thanks for looking!

To give you an idea how tiny this frog is - thats a phone cable he's sitting on. I

think he could sit on a nickel and have room to stretch his froggy legs.

Discovered this amazing looking well-worn C-5 Galaxy that flew in some

time during the wee-hours last night. I think it was here to pick up (or

deliver) V-22 Osprey fuselage (or parts) to the Bell/Boeing plant here in

Amarillo.

I hope you like this shot - because I literally went through hell to get it. I was

attacked my a squadron of blood-sucking mosquitos (lying in wait in the

open airport field) that ambushed my bare legs.

I think I lost a pint or two of blood trying to get this shot just right!

Dodge Challenger - do you know the year?

Thanks for looking!

I usually don't see robins at my feeder so I was surprised when this one flew in and quietly

and calmly posed for me. He didn't eat anything- I think he was just interested in what the

sparrows and starlings were in such a tussle over.
