Lady Tigers soccer

Lady Tiger soccer coach Lantrip provides instruction during the first week of soccer practice. 

Tiger soccer gets to work

Soccer practice in Texas has been going on for just over two weeks.  The Tigers have been practicing after school getting ready for the upcoming season.

Tiger soccer gets an early start

The threat of rain pushed caused the boys varsity soccer match to start earlier than scheduled.  I only caught the last 20 minutes and shoot out.  The Tigers tied 1-1 but then lost the shoot out 6-5. 

Lady Tiger soccer camp

This week is the Lady Tigers soccer camp for some future Lady Tigers.

Lady Tigers bow out of playoffs

The Lady Tiger soccer team played Lovejoy last night in the area round of the soccer playoffs. They ended up losing the game 4-0.  They still had a great year.

The baseball team lost to Mesquite Poteet last night 2-1 in 8 innings.  They played a great game, but just came up short.  Tonight they travel to Waxahachie.

Tiger alumni

Terrell Tiger soccer alumni scrimmaged the varsity Tigers Saturday night.  The scrimmage ended in a 2-2 tie.

Hwy 34 overpass progress

After years of talking, SH 34 will have an overpass over US 80 in Terrell.

There was an air race held at the Terrell airport on May 26th.  I wanted to attend but had another commitment.  Check out the site below for a great write up and some awesome pictures, including one of the new terminal building an almost full tarmac from the air.

Terrell, Texas Monday Morning Mashup

We got our first snow yesterday.  I don't know the official total, but I would guess we got between 3" & 4" in Terrell.  I have additional photos on the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook page.  Brian also has shots on the Texas Daily Photo Facebook page,  check Brians site for his Facebook link.  The snow and the threat of overnight ice was enough to cancelled classes today for all of Terrell ISD.

Is it time for a new banner photo?

Lady Tiger soccer

The Lady Tigers fought Wilson tough last night at Memorial Stadium. With a temperature in the upper 30s I only made it to half time.

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.

Late night regrets

The drive thru always sounds good late at night.  But after finishing a #3 large combo it doesn't feel so good trying to get to sleep.

The 2011 Terrell Tigers baseball team takes the field tonight at Ben Gill Park for their first game that counts.  Garland Lakeview Centennial will send their varsity squad here, first pitch is scheduled for 6PM.  The Tiger JV team will travel to Garland and their first pitch is 5PM.

Vote for my photo on ihigh.  You can vote more than once.  I said yesterday I was photo #222.  The link is 222 but my photo is #223. I don't have a chance to win, it looks like some photos are getting over 100 votes an hour, and one photo got over 40,000 votes since last night (nothing fishy there, lol).  But its still nice to know people will vote. You can also visit the Terrell iHigh page.  We always could use the visitors.

I have a 5K race this week, its part of the Cowtown Marathon.  They also run a 10K that Brian will be running.  The race calender is starting to fill up for the Spring.  The Fountain 5K organizers need to get on the ball if they are going to have a run in Terrell during the Jubilee.  There are already over a half dozen races scheduled for that day, including one in Rockwall.

Skywatch Friday-Ben Gill at dusk

The sky was clear last night allowing the temperature to drop into the 20s. Nothing like the low temperatures our friends up north are getting.

See more Skywatch Friday photos here.

Birdville High School was one of the teams taking part in the Waxahachie tournament. It's part of the Birdville ISD along with Richland and Haltom High Schools.

A cool story making the rounds yesterday about the Birdville ISD from the Dallas Business Journals.

Tarrant County College and the Birdville Independent School District are teaming up to offer free tuition at the county community college starting this fall for every high school graduate at the district.

The Cedar Hill Longhorns was another team that Terrell competed against down in Waxahachie.

Terrell Daily Photo is 2 years old

No special photo today, but I do like this one. It was taken after a good rain. I set up the tripod in my driveway and pointed the camera towards Moore Ave. As a car would go down the street, I would take the picture. This is a cars tail lights and the lights being reflected in the water on the side of the road. This is also post #735, next stop post # 1000.



The last year has been fun trying to find a picture to post every day, it has also been a learning experience. Before I look forward to the next year, let me look back over the last year.

One of the things I wanted to do this past year was take more sports photos. I think I did a pretty good job of that.

I went to a couple of Tiger football games, which was a first time I went to a high school football game since I was high school. Not sure how many I will go to this year. They don't make it easy to take pictures there.

I followed and photographed the Tiger baseball teams historic season. I am already looking forward to next year.

I also went to as many basketball and soccer games as I could.

I have been to a few City Council meetings and I am finding out how City government works.

I got used to carrying my camera everyplace I go.

I also found out that you have to get it in writing...no matter what it is. There are a lot of people how want something for nothing, that will take your work and pass it off as their own. Promise you one thing and deliver nothing. Jealous people who would like to see you fail, and of course people you cant please no matter what you do. I guess I had to find to find out the hard way.

Below are my New Years resolutions, I am getting there.

Resolution 1. Get more involved in my community.--I am getting there. I am working on the Terrell Photo Walk that will be on July 18 (sign up by clicking on the Terrell banner on the right.) I will continue to pop in on the City Council meetings.

Resolution 2. Get to the gym more.-- I have been pretty good about going to the gym. I haven't really lost any weight, but I can tell its moved around some.

Resolution 3.Paint the outside of the house (carryover from 2008).-- OK get back to me at the end of the year.

Looking ahead to year 3
I want the Photo Walk to be successful and fun.
I hope the 2010 Terrell Tigers sports teams have banner years.
I want the Mustang Warriors all return home soon and safe.
I look forward to reading the Terrell Tribune every day and keeping in touch with what's going on in town.
I will watch Big Brother 11, yell at my computer and TV knowing I could do better than anyone in the house. CBS, Channel 11 could have at least had a cast call in Dallas or Terrell. They had a great turnout in Terrell for the Survivor casting call.
Finally, I look forward to continue to posting pictures every day..... sometimes two a day and more commentary.

Oh..poison ivy sucks, and I think I have more links than Michael, that's hard to do. Be sure to take a peek at all of the links to the right, we have some good local blogs worth reading.

Happy Mardi Gras

I normally avoid posting pictures of myself.  I'll make an exception today.  This is me Saturday morning before the Mardi Gras 5K run.

The Tiger baseball team travels to Waxahachie for a district match up against the Indians. First pitch is 7PM.

The boys soccer team plays in Kaufman.  Kaufman is looking to clinch a playoff spot with a win and are going all out to ensure a big turnout.

The Lady Tigers soccer team will host Kaufman tonight.  Terrell has already clinched a playoff spot but a match against Kaufman is always a tough battle.

Finally, the Lady Tigers softball team will travel to Mesquite for a game against the Skeeters.  The Lady Tigers final game in the Wills Point tournament scheduled for this past Saturday was cancelled.  I guess thats why I couldn't find it.

I got nothing

I am ready for the day to be over, and it hasn't even started yet.

This was taken yesterday afternoon in Ben Gill Park with the camera on my Blackberry.

I added yesterdays girls soccer pictures and a few extras to the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook page. Click the link on the right.

Am I the only person who could care less what Tiger Woods has to say?

Wisteria

The Wisteria is just about gone.  This was at Zilker Park in Austin, TX.  Taken the day before the Capitol 10K. Brian has a nice shot he posted Sunday from Zilker Park.  Austin is a beautiful town, I may post a few more pictures from there, but to see Austin every day visit Austin Texas Daily Photo.

Tonight is a busy night for Tiger athletics.  The Lady Tigers soccer team takes on Rockwall in the playoffs.  It is scheduled to start at 6PM in Royse City.

The baseball team travels to West Mesquite, first pitch is 7PM.

The Lady Tigers softball team is at home hosting Waxahachie.  Game time is set for 4:30.
