Terrell Heritage Society Museum

The Terrell Heritage Museum reflected in the windows of the Terrell Post Office. Sometime next year ground breaking is suppose to take place to replace the Post Office. The Museum is the building is my header photo. I have been thinking of changing it to something else. Its been up there since I started my site June 2, 2007. Any ideas? I may choose 5 photos and put up a poll to let readers decide. But I hate change, I do not like it when someone moves my cheese.

June 3rd, One year anniversary

June 3rd marks one year I have been photo blogging. I joined City Daily Photo a few months after I started my site.

My original idea when starting my site was to just let people know that Terrell is a nice place to live and visit. I also wanted pictures of some of the historic buildings in Terrell that some day may end up gone. I hope I have been able to capture what Terrell is like and show some of our historic homes and buildings.

I have lived in Terrell over 10 years and over the past year, I did a lot of firsts. Besides starting my first blog. I went to my first Terrell High School sporting event. I ended up going to basketball, baseball, softball and boys and girls soccer games. I hope to add football to the list this fall. I went to the No. 1 British Flying Training School museum for the first time. I had pictures posted on the Terrell Chamber of Commerce website for the first time. I went to my first bike rally, first Relay for Life.......I could go on, but the one thing I have learned is that I like where I live.

I have learned so much from everyone in the blogging world, how to write (still learning), framing a shot, camera jargon, everything I always wanted to know about birds, and ideas for the next picture. Most importantly I have been able to see parts of the world that I never knew existed and places I may only get to visit through your pictures. Thanks.

So year 1 down, year 2 here I come.

My reflection

Earlier this month I posted a reflection shot of the main drag through Terrell. At the same time I took that picture, I took this one. If you look closely in the reflection you can see D O R K written on my forehead. This is the shot I am now using for my profile picture. I think it looks a little better than the old picture.

Boomerjacks

I love going to this place. Its called Boomerjacks. Anyone want to guess what I ordered?

If you look closely you can see a nerd taking a picture..........oh thats me.
