Rough waters

Lake Texoma on a windy morning a few weeks ago.  I try to not make waves.......

The Tigers won their rain delayed baseball game Tuesday night making their record 7-23 overall and 3-11 in district. Don't rely on the DMN for accurate high school sports coverage.

I should have photos from Tuesdays game posted to ihigh later tonight.

Flaps down

Thankfully I wasn't what this bird was interested in. It flew right past me, slowing down so I could keep taking pictures, that or slowing down to pluck something out of the water.

Theme day-Waiting

December's Theme Day is Waiting. I caught these guys waiting for a bite up at Lake Texoma a few weeks ago. They may still be there waiting for just one bite......a nibble.....anything.....

My fantasy football team won. Playoffs start next week and I am still fighting to get in. If I win next week, I am in.

Tough week for my NFL picks, finishing 8-8. I will bounce back next week. My season record is 115-61.

I watched my first little bit of NHL hockey last night before Monday Night Football. Hockey is still boring, I think its one of those sports where if your team isn't playing, there is no interest in it.

I got a Google Wave invitation from Christina, but I haven't had time to do anything with it.

A casting call for the next edition of Survivor will be on December 12th, but in Ft. Worth. Not sure I can make it out there, thats the same day as the Terrell Christmas Parade.

Skywatch Friday-overlooking the lake

This is Lake Texoma from last weekend. It had rained an hour or so earlier and the clouds were just breaking up as the sun was setting.

If I tried this I would land flat on my face.

Brian and Kim at the Peanut Shoppe.

Everyone has to have a cart to get around.
Reminds me a little bit of Jacobs blog.

One more post tomorrow for Skywatch Friday from the Lake, then back to Terrell area shots.

Lake Texoma high water

Well, back from my short break. We spent the long weekend up at Lake Texoma. Kim celebrated her 35th birthday. There has been quite a bit of rain on the TX/OK border pushing the lake level higher than normal. Below is a picture taken Sunday of the dock at Texins.


In the picture above, to the right of the picnic table are two trees and a sign. You can barely make out a horizontal line, that's the railing for the steps that are suppose to lead down to the docks. You can see one dock out of the water to the right of the rails. The lattice at the far right is the fish house, its used to clean fish and at the time of the picture had a few inches of water in it. You can see how high the water was by the debris in the parking lot. You may need to click on the picture to enlarge it and see everything.

The picture below is from our trip to Lake Texoma in April. You can see the same fish house in the center of the photograph, and the steps that were attached to the railing. The water level is where the vehicles are at. The docks we were on are now behind the fish house and part of the dock is what you can see in the top picture that has buckled.

Other than the high water and sunburn, we had a great time. I'll post a few more pictures the rest of the week.

Skywatch Friday-Lake Texoma

These are from our trip up to Lake Texoma a few weeks ago. I couldn't decide which picture to use, so you get two. This is actually Shawn's lake, he just let me visit.

Trying my hand a fishing

Lake Texoma last weekend. I need to get a fishing reel that's set up for a lefty. That's my excuse for not catching anything, and I'm sticking to it.


If anyone will be attending the TEA party today in Kaufman and would like to send in pictures, I will post them and give full credit to the photographer. Email them to terrelldailyphoto@hotmail.com. It starts at noon.

Lake Texoma fishermen

Shawn and Mack fishing off of a dock at Lake Texoma. They bragged about how great they were. They caught zero fish Saturday afternoon.

Somehow I kept remembering the clip below when I saw them sitting out there. They were not out on the boat, but everything else seemed similar.
