After the performances by the golden-cheeked warbler and blue-gray gnatcatcher, this black-and-white warbler decided to visit us. He wasn't so interested in singing to us but we still enjoyed watching him jumping through the trees.

Thanks,

Palo Duro Canyon

Image
I was  pleasantly surprised by the number of comments back from my reunion e-mail yesterday. I appreciated each of them as most referenced similar feelings to what I tried to express. You just never know.... We met up with a couple Thursday night to go to the Texas play in Palo Duro Canyon. I grabbed a few quick photos of the canyon on the drive in. The panhandle has been blessed with a wet spring and the canyon was beautiful with all the green. If you have never been to this state gem, you are missing something. Growing up, I spent many an hour in this park creating great memories. The sky was clear and the temperatures hot for these photos. Thanks, Doug White https://jdwarchive.blogspot.com/

James Earl Rudder

While on the subject of people that have made significant contributions to TAMU, James Earl Rudder is one of those individuals. Rudder was a 1932 graduate of TAMU and commissioned into the US Army. On June 6, 1944 as a Lt.Col., he led a company of 225 Army Rangers in the assault at Pointe Du Hoc in the D-Day Invasion of France. He and his troops faced 90 foot cliffs heavily protected by German fire. His mission was virtually impossible but with incredible bravery, they succeeded in taking the location, though only 90 men survived the assault. He continued his role in WW II, including the Battle of the Bulge, to its end.  After the war, he was a leader in private and public roles before becoming the 16th president of TAMU in 1959. He made the decision to transition A&M from an all-male military university to what you see today - corps optional, women, and integration. That decision was not received well by many/most former students but he knew it was needed for A&M to become...

Kodiak 9/27 - 05 Sunrise

Image
This is the sunrise that kept on giving! The first photo is another view of the city with a little more light but great clouds and color. The purples and low, distant clouds behind the city make this a favorite for certain (another "ought to print" but probably won't.....). The variety of clouds in the sky show the new weather system coming into the area. The second photo is to the right of the city where the sun is actually going to come up. These two shots were taken about a minute apart from each other but still about 10 minutes before the sun actually breaks the horizon. Lauren kept apologizing for having to work during out trip (just started a new job) but I seriously doubt if I would have been in position to take such photos otherwise (ie lazy).  I don't have anything that compares to these from our trip to Kodiak last year.  Sometimes, things work out for the best. To quote my photography mentor, if you're not shooting, you're not getting! Thanks, Doug ...
