Goodbye and Shalom

This is going to be my last post on this website. I am calling it quits before I get silenced and have to call it quits. Let me explain.

There are lots of conservative voices being silenced on social media right now. Since I am a conservative and the way things are heading, I will eventually be silenced. I am taking the proper steps to silence myself and leave on my own terms.

I have enjoyed posting on this site. I hope you learned something new to help you with your photography or editing your pictures.

I have enjoyed sharing my stories of hurricanes coming through, pictures taken, and everything in between.

Take care and Shalom.

This site will be deleted sometime Monday.

Storm shots from a cold front

This past Friday, we had a cold front come through the area. With the cold front, we had some storms pop up and it produced a nice light show. I was able to get some video and pictures after it passed the house. Here are some of the still shots I was able to get. The first shot was a double rainbow I was able to catch when I first starting shooting.

We are having a strong cold front come through later on this week. The temperatures are going to be in the 60s for highs and 40s for lows. I’m hoping for storms so I can get more lightning shots.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Halloween week.

No power and a cold front

For most of the week, we didn’t have power. Hurricane Delta caused wide spread outages all across the state of Louisiana. Most of the schools were out because of no power. In my area, we didn’t get power back on until Wednesday afternoon around 4 o’clock. I received a text from my wife as I was heading out the door from work to head home. We lost power again on Friday, but it didn’t last too long. I waited until yesterday to put the extension cords up for the generator to ensure we were good to go.

Friday night, we had a cold front come through where our temperatures got down into the low 50’s. It lasted a day. The temperature this morning is the low 60’s. Most of the week, I took a picture of the morning sky before heading to work. Here are some the pictures I shot.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Shalom.

Flowers - specifically Roses

Welcome to Fall! During this week, we had the Fall Equinox here in the United States. Our temperatures have been fall like because of Tropical Storm Beta keeping it cloudy, rainy, and cool here in southern Louisiana. The rain has helped the rose bushes for their second blooming. I noticed the roses starting to bloom again earlier this week. I love getting rose shots. Here is one I got from earlier this week.

I will be posting more flower shots on here as they bloom. There are all kinds of flowers. When I’m not getting storm shots, flowers are one of my favorite things to capture.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week and weekend. Shalom.

Sunrises

I love taking sunrise shots. For me, it is convenient because when I step out of my front door, I’m facing east. I can go to the end of my driveway and take pictures. When storms come from that direction, I can drive my car to the end of my driveway and take pictures and video.

This week and parts of last week, I have been able to get sunrise. When I am heading to work, I stop and get shots. Here are the ones I’ve gotten the past couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy them.

Where to find me - with links

Good Monday morning. It’s Labor Day here in the US. It’s also my birthday. I’ve been on this Earth for 53 years now. There isn’t anything planned for today. A couple of people are coming by to hang out. I wanted to share where I can be found on the internet. I’m going to delete my Facebook account soon. The main reason I stayed on so I could stay in touch with family and friends during Hurricane Laura. I’m not liking the way Facebook is going so I’m going to step away. I’ll continue to be on Instagram for the time being but I will step away from there by the end of the year (if not sooner). My goal is to concentrate on my website and YouTube channel exclusively.
