I can't sleep, so I've decided to put up my amateurish nature photos...lol. Don't call National Geographic just yet. A cute froggy on my porch (no harm was done to the animal during this shooting...he/she just scampered off into the bush). My 1st cloud picture (I took it in the car as Chris drove) I'd like to put down what I think it looks like...but I haven't figured anything out yet...lol.

We had a crazy storm last night! Took this pic from my front porch: It took a few tries to catch the lightning, but I finally managed.

Here are pics I took of some Calla Lillies I had in my living room.  They are all wilted up now.  

  Here are a few pics I took from our yearly class field trip.  This year: Cattleman's Ranch in West Texas   A peacock whose colors I couldn't quite catch (wish he would have come a bit closer...)   A Longhorn Relaxing in the Sun     Covered Wagon Ride   Pioneer Home (tour guides explained to the students that people would put valuables up on the roofs, so that bandits wouldn't get to them so easily) ...

These are some pretty random pics I have recently taken.  I added one Chris took as well. ***Traffic at Sunset ***a trip we took to the other side of town (literally on the other side of our mountain range)   (Chris took the one above)   ***A former student of mine (and her mother) invited me to a Traditional Mexican dance show she was going to perform in.  She did an awesome job...I was able to find her and congratulate her aft...
