First David Farrabee, then Nap

BirdManBob phoned me at the last minute to ask me to present myself at the Wild Bird Rescue Center. I photographed State Representative David Farrabee, who will serve as WBR's guest of honor in March at the WBR's Celebrity Roast.

David posed with Missi, a kite we adopted for educational purposes, for she is blind in one eye and therefore cannot live in the wild.

Here is David with the Red-tailed Hawk. He doesn't know that he will release her after I have finished taking pictures of him holding her. BirdManBob said later that David's eyes grew wide when he learned he would release the hawk.

The Red-tailed Hawk dipped in altitude upon release, then took off free and healthy.
Thank you, David!

Posing with Predatory Birds

Lila holds a Red-tailed Hawk. The hawk is recuperating

from a severe injury that caused blindness in one eye.

Terry holds the injured hawk.

Here Lila poses with Missi, a Mississippi Kite that lost an eye.

We cannot release Missi, for with loss of depth perception, she will not be able to hunt.

Wild Bird Rescue has adopted Missi as their first educational bird.

The Hub

This building locates across the alley from the Hub.

I am a fan of the new Hub, an outdoor art exhibit on Seventh and Indiana Streets, downtown Wichita Falls.

Dale Chihuly Visit

Above, I show photographs I took of Dale's work at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. 

Pitch Black Night with Fog

I saw very little with my naked eye of what my camera at ISO 1000 could show me.

The Jenny's Propeller Up Close

The Museum of North Texas History and the Call Field Aviation Memorial Exhibit present the Curtiss JN4-D "Jenny." Here I show various angles of the WWI aircraft's propeller.

In the Air

Aviators gathered for the annual pumpkin drop. Here are a few planes waiting for their turn.

Two Stearmans participated. They looked impressive.
