2010 Photo of the Year

Voting for Photo of the Year ended in a tie. Since this is my site, I get to pick a winner between the two.

The photo I selected may not seem that strange to people who live in an area that gets a lot of snow every year. But in Terrell we do not expect to wake up and see over a foot of snow on the ground. Because of that, this was chosen as the Picture of the Year. The photo was taken on the morning of February 12, 2010.

Below is the photo that tied for the most votes. It was taken during the Caveman Crawl off road race in Bridgeport, TX.

I look forward to snapping pictures all over Texas in 2011, including more sports and action shots. As always, check the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook page for more photos, and pictures of the 2010 Photo of the Year finalists.

Only 28.5 miles ran last month. This month gets started quick, running the I am Superman 5K in Rockwall. After the race, hopefully a fun photo opportunity.

I added more photos from the Terrell vs. Forney baseball game on the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook page.

Monday Morning Mashup

It was a good weekend for Tiger sports teams. The boys and girls basketball and soccer teams won. I posted over 2 dozen soccer pictures from Saturdays afternoon game on the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook Fan page. I love taking sports shots during the day. Friday night the boys soccer and basketball teams both play games at home.



February 1st already. Today is the City Daily Photo Theme Day. The theme this month is wood. Click here to view thumbnails for all Theme Day participants.

I watched the Grammys last night. Funny moment after the performance from Lil Wayne, Eminem and Drake that was edited and censored. They showed a pop up to purchase tonight's performances from itunes. I wonder if that would include the dead air during the trios song? Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks and Mary J. Blige all sounded great. Stevie would have been better minus Taylor Swift.

The Warrior Dash race in Forney has added a second day on May 2nd. Click on the icon to the right for more information.

Theme day-Changes

January 1 Theme Day topic is Changes in City Daily Photo land, this one had me baffled. How do you show changes? Since I was already going to change my blog banner.............. I also have changed my email address, its now JimKlenke@TerrellDailyPhoto.com.

This is the first Skywatch Friday I have missed in probably over a year. I think I would be stretching it if I posted todays photo over there.

Vote for your favorite Terrell Daily Photo on the right side of the site. The photo with the most votes will be posted on January 15th.

I hope everyone had a safe New Years Eve and has a great 2010.

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.

Theme day-Doorways

Which door would you choose?



November 1st already, click here to view thumbnails for all participants of this months Theme Day.

Pick up a copy of Sundays Terrell Tribune. Included in the paper are four coupons for 20% off any single item at Tanger Outlets in Terrell. Can't beat that deal.

Theme day-Contrast

Its the 1st so its Theme Day in the City Daily Photo world. This months theme is contrast. This is the best I could do. This 4" TV is from 1981, it worked up until they switched to digital TV this year. Oh so long ago, LOL.

Again? Please spare us. Let Gov. Good Hair and KBH fight it out for a while.

I am not diggin this new Yahoo page.

Theme day-Night

This theme day should have been easy for me. I love taking night shots. But put on the spot, it's hard to find something I like.

This is the First United Methodist Church in Terrell. I didn't notice when I was taking the picture, but you can see the lights from two jets that were crossing the sky. You may need to click on the picture for a larger view to see them.

Not much going on up there most times, pretty empty.



My hair may be going gray, but I still have all of it.

Theme day-Iran Protests

The picture below was taken by one of our City Daily Photo bloggers. I mentioned after the elections in Iran he had the most powerful images I had seen. I wasn't the only one as one of his photos was used as the cover of Life Magazine. Unfortunately he has now gone missing. It is feared by his family and friends that he has been arrested.

Updated-Amir has been released and is home.

Today is a special Theme Day to support our fellow blogger and all Iranians who are being denied having their vote counted.



The photo above was taken during a silent march. Hundreds of thousands of protesters in Tehran marched without saying a word. They simply held their fingers in the air symbolizing V for victory.

Theme day-Feet

The theme for June is feet. Kind of a strange theme, didn't have anything specific for the theme, then just decided to just do it.

June 3rd will be the 2nd anniversary of Terrell Daily Photo. No special picture planned, but I will review the last year, look forward to year number 3 and check on my New Years resolutions.

If you are in the Dallas area, plan on attending the Terrell Photo Walk on July 18th. I hope to have a route or routes set by the end of this week. Click here to register. After the Photo Walk we can meet up and see what kind of pictures we got. I am looking forward to seeing how others interpret Terrell.

Skywatch Friday-Theme day shadows

This is another one of those double challenges. It's Skywatch Friday and the Monthly Theme day which is shadows. This is about the best I can do to combine both. I caught this on the way to work, the sun was trying to come out, but the rain clouds just were not ready to go away.

Theme Day-Forney Jackrabbits

Today is Theme Day in the CPD world. The theme for April is the color yellow. I could either post a picture of a yellow flower or a baseball player for the Forney Jackrabbits who have yellow numbers.

Easy choice for me, even if it is a stretch. Terrell traveled to Forney last night and ended up on the losing end of an 8-2 score.



I have to have at least one picture of the Tigers. Win or lose I support them.
