This is from 5/24/2011, 8pm, looking west - just seemed kind of ominous, so I started taking pictures
15 minutes later, I went to the deck out back (now looking east), and caught this funnel, which touched down in Haslet proper (the house is actually in unincorporated Tarrant County)
On 9/19/2011, 6:45pm, I noticed this interesting cloud formation, so grabbed the camera. In my woefully uninformed opinion, I thought it looked like it could be an RFD (rear-flank downdraft). I ended up with 71 shots over the next 55 minutes...
Once I noticed the mammo clouds, I thought this might be more than just a pretty sunset, so I stuck around to see if it got more interesting
This is as far as it got - nothing ever touched down as far as I know. It was actually a clear day with no storms or warnings at all, so I've never been sure what this was!

I took this shot of the Cats game tonight. (From my balcony with my 800) fun to watch them in action. I see them working on fireworks. I will check that out as well. I was hoping to get home from work soon enough to catch some shots of John Roberts and Mayor Price riding along the Trinity. But could not get away early enough.

I didn't ride with the Mayor tonight. You may even have her in your photograph above. She started the ride at LaGrave Field and the plan was to attend the game with the other cyclists.
I rode with the Mayor on Wednesday, as it was one of the rare Wednesdays that I'm not out of town. It was a fiasco, to put it lightly. We met up in the LaGrave lot, then discovered there is no trail access from LaGrave! A fence surrounds the entire parking lot, requiring everyone to dismount and climb the levee- lots of fun in cycling cleats as you can imagine. Then it was two miles north (downwind) before turning back sound into a 35 mph gale. By the time we were abeam Riverside park the group was strung out and destroyed. Many recreational riders were unprepared to deal with winds like that. I continued with a smaller group of 25 or so who did the originally planned route out towards Gateway then along the gravel path on the north side of the river. Then up 4th into downtown and back to LaGrave via Main. Then I got to climb the levee again to ride home!
Sure hope we can remove some of these barriers to trail access in the city! I know of plenty more of them where a trail is blocked by a fence or chain. Maybe as part of the new Drive-In they will see about making an access point to the trail in that area.

The Trinity Trails by the Ballpark is my new main running trail. Sure enough, I have wished I could get over to the Ballpark area. I guess there is some reason for that. Maybe too convenient for punks to steal stuff or vandalize coming from the backside on the river? Maybe liability with kids watching baseball wondering over to the River? I guess if it is private property they just want less exposure. Can't blame them for that. I stay surprised that there are not sidewalks all the way from Downtown to the Ballpark. (like contiguous)

West 7th Street just West of Henderson. I meant to include the bus stop bench in my i-phone shot.

I suppose it's possible that one of the bums who wander the city could have been rooting through the trash and tossing aside what they didn't want or what they 'finished off', but either way - yeah, pretty disgusting.
Maybe whoever placed it there was confused since there is no recycle container. 4 out of 5 of the items do not belong in a TRASH container. This sort of awareness usually starts in school if not at home, and at an early age. Most area school systems do not have a comprehensive classroom/lunchroom recycling program... go figure.

After the Sun went down I saw this gang in the river. Pretty dark for river action to me. But looked fun just the same.

That is the bus station on the left side of the picture, right? Just checking because it has been years since I have spent time in Fort Worth, but enjoy still being able to put things in perspective. Grin.

I found out who these people were when they sent me an e-mail from the Director of TCU outdoor programs asking for the photo. Luckily I had the hi rez version on my photobucket site at work to send him. I am going to take more shots of their gang in a few days. (All in this TCU program) Next time I hope to take a few shots when it is not dark. That shot was actually in the dark.
I took this shot out yesterday morning from UTA Fort Worth. Have never been up on the porch. What they heck, I figured, I am a Texas Taxpayer and a UTA alum of 5 years. Paid full tuition too. (Was not smart or fast enough for any scolarships...)
It is kind of rare that the only lens on me is my 50 1.2. It is my lightest and I was picking up trash mostly.

If you could get from 3rd street to the river, maybe it's something the bike shop could rent too, besides just bikes?
John, I can't find Fortwortharchitecture.com on Facebook somehow. Have I gone blind from looking at the Sun too long tonight?

Ha! (It's funny cuz it's TRUE!)
As for the folks on the river, I saw them Saturday evening. My bicycle ride went from my house (Sycamore School & McCart area), down Columbus Trail and on to the southwest hospital district, to Bellaire, then the Trinity Trails all the way up to 23rd by the Stockyards, then down Samuels and home via downtown and the southside. I ran into the kayakers right by the Woodshed. I dinged my bell at them and they shouted back.

Wife and I went to her family farm in Arlington for fathers day. Wife has a niece in town from California and she is getting into photography. She had her Rebel XSi. (I used to have one.) I took some pictures of her with it. (Us photographers are never in the picture.) They just harvested the wheat.

And I noticed this little helicopter on the grass by the river. (Thursday at 7:30pm... like the clock says)
Somebody sure went wild with an orange can of spray paint. I was amazed by all the markings on the street, and dirt. Guess they are about to start digging...
