Day 64: Stunt Flights Over Campus

by Samuel D. Bradley on March 8, 2010

day064A large storm this way comes, and this pilot decided to use the 27 mph sustained WSW winds to stunt fly over campus as the sun set in the West.

I grabbed my camera and long lens and raced out in time to snap 107 shots before the plane departed.

This one – momentarily pointing straight at me – was the best.

Although the smoke trail suggests distress, there was none.

Day 63: Lava Lamp

by Samuel D. Bradley on March 7, 2010

day063I admit this was a last-minute shot after a very busy day of writing.

I’ve had this lava lamp since the late 1990’s. It sits on my desk today. It wants some friends to sit with it.

Day 63: I Are a Soccer Coach

by Samuel D. Bradley on March 6, 2010

soccerToday I spent the day at a soccer coaching clinic earning my Texas “F” license, now making me eligible to coach children under the age of 10 in the state.

It was an excellent day, and I learned a ton.

Day 62: Budding Spring

by Samuel D. Bradley on March 5, 2010

day062As I walked through the park recently, the first signs of a vibrant spring grabbed ahold of me.

The trees have noticed the rising temperatures and the longer hours of sun.

In the process, they have delighted me.

Day 61: Dog in Motion

by Samuel D. Bradley on March 4, 2010

day061bWent to the park intending to shoot budding trees, and instead I preferred this dog.

I love the motion and the flying, albeit dead and brown, grass debris as it changed direction.

I snapped a few shots of the trees, but nothing I love. Will try again tomorrow.
