South Texas Shooters (Photography That Is!)

With five days remaining in the year 2021, I want to share some images and thoughts on the year, my year. January came in with a promise of a change and a gradual return to a normal life. But with each sunrise and sunset, a little bit of the wall was chipped away, but then suddenly, I found that some were adding more mortar to the wall. But I remained to pursue a positive way. It has been a tough year in my quiet kind of way of dealing with the new normal. Most each day started and ended almost identical to the day before and the day yet to be. Woke up, went to the job, and came home, then repeated the process over and over again throughout the year 2021. There were days that a break from the new normal occurred and return to normal was attained, those days and times have helped to keep my heart, mind, and soul grounded, not high, not low, just level flight. For those days, times, and folks who provided those times, you are so very appreciated; you may never know how much impact your actions, caring, kindness and compassion mean to me. I am forever thankful for you and shall always hold you so close to my heart. Forever in my prayers are you who, “Dared To Care”!!

January 2021 started with a return to My Field of Dreams, a place where I feel that I make a difference with camera and lens, where I am witness to heart, hustle, grace, grit, and most of all, smiles which renew my spirit!

February was unlike no other that I have experienced since settling in Texas, a snow fall which rivaled the ones back in NYC! For a short month, it sure took a long time to get through.

March filled in with a bit of promise, but it soon became evident that I was going through a modern day Twilight Zone! Very little change but more moments that bring warmth to my heart!

April made this heart smile with all the spring smiles that blossomed!

May capturing moments and memories that bring smiles!

June is a time to honor a young woman who astounds me with the depth of her talent, which knows no limits, “Unlimited Talent.”

July the return of the Olympic Games and a hope that all moments will be Golden

August, I received my Twenty Five years of service ring and am thankful for the lessons learned, bad and good!

September another anniversary of a day that started a change to our world. I am remembering September 11th.

October one more year of life celebrated. A return to the field that creates a smile. A renewal of a friendship with magnificent women!

November is a month of sorrow, remembrance, and thanks!

December the month that closes out the year 2021, a month where I remember the bad, the beauty, the good, the unexpected, and all the blessings I have and shared!

I hope that you who visit this page will smile for a moment and remember! My hope and prayer for all of us are that 2022 brings even more moments and memories that bring our hearts, minds, and souls a smile. Lastly, for the few who think my caring is false, fake, or with a hidden purpose, you made a wrong assumption and therefore made an ass of yourself, you shall miss out on my caring, kindness, concern, and compassion. “Your Loss”
