Dead Soldiers From A Tiger Army
Doing some scraping from the "archives" while I get some holiday shopping out of the way. Enjoy the mundane.

Evening Commute
My evening commute home. This was taken near the Highway 183/Loop 820 merge in the Bedford/Euless area.
I cracked open the sun roof on my car, and held my camera aloft. That my hood in the bottom part of the frame.

Holiday Cheer
Mike and Terese G, in front of the giant Christmas tree on Main Street in downtown Fort Worth, TX.
The weekend previous, Tarita and I had a great visit from my parents. They spent four days out here and we had a great time. It was really nice to have some familiar faces around, and to share our new lives with other people.
We kicked off the weekend with a huge meal at The Reata in downtown Fort Worth. The Reata is a must visit, if only for the view from the rooftop bar and dining area.
Saturday was a perfect December day with. The sun was out, and there was a pleasant briskness to the air. Not enough chill to freeze a feller's bones, but enough to make him feel alive. My dad has a special spot in his heart for Frederic Remington's bronze statues of the Wild West, and the Amon Carter Musuem of Art has one of the world largest collections of Remington statues and paintings.
The Amon Carter Musuem of Art also has a premiere photography collection, and is currently showing a special exhibit of Eliot Porter and Robert Ketchum landscapes. Landscape photography isn't really my favorite, but this exhibit was incredible. Some of Ketchum's images, especially from Sundance area of UT, stunned me with their intense beauty. Porter's work, although beautiful and enjoyable, paled next to Ketchum's. The highlight of the exhibit were the intricate Chinese silk embroidered panels that were handmade from Ketchum's photos. Simply amazing.
That afternoon, we went down to the Fort Worth Stockyards. We were trying to catch the twice a day cattle drive they run through there, but instead we ran into a holiday parade, which included this lady, her pony, and her little dog. And yes, the dog has antlers, and yes the pony has a Santa hat.

The Elected
A few weekends ago Tar and I drove up to Denton, TX to see The Elected at Hailey's. First of all, when speaking of The Elected, it is mandatory to mention the lead singer Blake Sennett is also the lead guitarist/co-songwriter for Rilo Kiley. Now that I have that our of the way...
We had a really nice time. Denton, home to the University of North Texas, is a cool college town about 35 minutes north of Fort Worth, where the two forks of I-35 meet. It was nice to go to a show, be around people our own age that are into some of the same stuff we are.

Survey Flags
Survey flags mark a sprinkler system on an (not for much longer) empty lot near a shopping center in Colleyville, TX. New retail opportunities are popping up all over the place around here. According to Wikipedia, the DFW Metroplex has more shopping centers per capita than any other metro area in the US.
