Bowling in Texas

   Who knew that bowling was the next pandemic hit. For the Fall Fashion shoot for 360 West we took advantage of the generosity of the folks at Bowlounge on Vickery in Fort Worth as a location for a fashion shoot with the latest former Miss Texas, Taylor Kessler who was a blast to work with and had no problem throwing around a ten pound bowling ball. Great space and a great folks made for a productive and fun afternoon.

Wavey Sunset

 Washing back to shore with the last of a strong evening breeze, muscles aching from way too much time hanging on to the control bar of my kite. The scorching heat of the day has dissipated and now the splash of the water chills the skin. As I look to the West the last rays of the setting sun sparkle thru the tops of the waves lapping onto the shore. A calm slides over me an I feel true contentment. No matter what happens during the day, an evening like this brings out the true beauty in life.

Stormy Beach Day

   A strong cold front blew into the very southern tip of Texas on New Years Day with winds in the 40 knot range and gray skies. The tops of the waves rolling into the beach in South Padre Island were just peeled off and blown back to sea. I worried about the new year for 2021 after watching this introduction.

Sunlit clouds and stormy seas

Waves stand no chance against the storm.
