2005-12-16T11:10:00.001-08:00

Easy, now ...

2005-12-16T11:10:00.000-08:00

The trash can, of course, helps to catch the remains.

2005-12-16T11:08:00.001-08:00

And then the fine-tuning.

2005-12-16T11:08:00.000-08:00

Bush, rockin' the razor and trash can.

2005-12-16T11:07:00.001-08:00

Oooh yeah ... fish face-ness.

2005-12-16T11:07:00.000-08:00

The making of Ringo Star.

2005-11-11T03:26:00.000-08:00

It's beautiful, sorta, but not.

2005-11-11T03:25:00.000-08:00

So early in the mornin' ... Er'body so tired ...

2005-11-11T03:24:00.000-08:00

Jen looks like she 'bout to pour a 55-gallon drum of ass-whup on my head.

2005-11-11T03:23:00.000-08:00

Some delightful fall folliage, right out front of Cracker Barrell.

2005-11-11T03:22:00.000-08:00

One Bush carrying another over his shoulder. Which is which? Find out at 8:00.

2005-11-11T03:20:00.000-08:00

Hahahahhahaha.

2005-11-11T03:19:00.000-08:00

I don't know what's going on here. Bush either is swashing/swishing some Scope, or he's gettin' ready to pop me a good one up'side mah head.

2005-11-11T03:18:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of Jen when she is possibly a) frustrated in a playful manner, or b) articulating a point in her lecture about diseased animals as housepets.

2005-11-11T03:16:00.000-08:00

Something must be really funny, 'cause dey sho looks like dey's laughin' hard.

2005-11-11T03:15:00.000-08:00

A beautiful little butterfly, pearching itself upon a lovely fall flower.

2005-11-11T03:14:00.000-08:00

Ooo so engaged.

A natural brigde about 25 miles below Jasper, Arkansas.

2005-08-22T17:15:00.000-07:00

In front of the gates of abandoned theme park Dogpatch USA -- a phantom of my childhood.

2005-08-22T17:13:00.000-07:00

Yeeeaaahhhh boiiiiiii ...

2005-08-22T17:12:00.000-07:00

Myself with what's left of the Dogpatch sign.

2005-08-22T17:11:00.001-07:00

Whaaa ... ?!? (It's a tree with a big hole in it)

2005-08-22T17:11:00.000-07:00

...

2005-08-22T17:10:00.000-07:00

While hiking in Lost Valley, we came across this passage (which is filled with water in the spring). Beyond this was a tiny opening that led to a deep cave. We follwed the cave for a while, but we couldn't get too far without the proper gear.

2005-08-22T17:08:00.000-07:00

At the base of Eden Falls.

2005-08-22T17:07:00.000-07:00

Why, Johnny Ringo ... You look like somebody just walked over your grave ...

2005-08-22T17:06:00.000-07:00

Myself, pimpin' at the top of what is usually a waterfall.

2005-08-22T17:01:00.001-07:00

...

2005-08-22T17:01:00.000-07:00

Bathing in the dripping waters of Lost Valley is a great way to cool off.

2005-08-22T17:00:00.000-07:00

In this photo, Wags and I were hiking up the Indian Creek riverbed in search of dry waterfall sites and the Arkansas cave. What we found was this crazy hole in the ground, a frog, fish, deer and a woodchuck. It was a beautiful hike, though.

2005-08-22T16:58:00.000-07:00

And then Wags saw the UFO.

2005-08-22T16:57:00.000-07:00

The Wagner and my bad self hiked a few miles out to Hawksbill Crag, which is a rocky crag, shaped like a hawk's bill, hanging out over oblivion.

2005-08-22T16:56:00.000-07:00

Mighty large country -- overlooking the Buffalo Wilderness.

2005-08-22T16:55:00.000-07:00

2005-08-22T16:54:00.002-07:00

2005-08-22T16:54:00.000-07:00

There I am ... meditating.

2005-08-22T16:53:00.000-07:00

Me on the edge of destruction.

2005-07-20T15:31:00.000-07:00

Just for good measure ... here's me being crazy with my shampoo-filled hair.

2005-06-24T11:07:00.002-07:00

Killer boots, man.

2005-06-24T11:07:00.001-07:00

Hanging around. Killing people.

2005-06-24T11:07:00.000-07:00

Dance, puppets, dance.

2005-06-24T11:05:00.001-07:00

This one's for Mamma.

2005-06-24T11:05:00.000-07:00

Smokin' on the steps.

2005-06-24T11:03:00.000-07:00

A tribute to May

2005-05-26T13:21:00.000-07:00

Traffic jam, North Dallas. You gosta love it.

Farewell, LL Sams.

Belle, the cat.

Belle has frickin' huge eyes.

I thought this was interesting. Some kind of mill thing off LaSalle.

I thought the colors were explosive.

Yeah, you heard me.

2005-05-05T00:05:00.000-07:00

Here's a blast from the past. It's my favorite of a series of "family portraits" intended for my buddies' apartment at Pecan Ridge. We took four pictures in the same spot, and tried to photoshop them all together. No dice. But I love this one. May, 2004.

2005-05-05T00:03:00.000-07:00

Trees and sky. My grandmother's house. April 16, 2005.

Lubbock, Texas ... Home of Buddy Holly. Here's the statue those country folk built to honor his memory.

2005-05-04T23:53:00.000-07:00

Train tracks, 50 miles south of Lubbock.

2005-05-04T23:52:00.000-07:00

Kaydee's checking things out.

2005-05-04T23:50:00.000-07:00

We drove up to the top of a plateau to get closer to a windfarm, since Kaydee loves them so much.

2005-05-04T23:49:00.000-07:00

Mmmm windmills.

2005-05-04T23:48:00.000-07:00

Wildflowers atop the plateau.

2005-05-04T23:47:00.000-07:00

I think this is the greatest picture I've ever seen (in my humble, totally non-biased opinion).

2005-05-04T23:45:00.000-07:00

We spent over an hour digging through the dirt for fossils. Pretty amazing.

2005-05-04T23:44:00.000-07:00

Hunting for fossils.

2005-05-04T23:43:00.000-07:00

In Birdsong, TX, on Hwy 6 ... The peanut factory is the only thing in this town.

2005-04-10T14:21:00.000-07:00

A barbed-wire fence, in the middle of New Mexico ... while the bus was stuck in the mud.

2005-04-10T14:20:00.000-07:00

Yeah that's a bus in the mud.

2005-04-10T14:19:00.001-07:00

Bus driver and friends.

2005-04-10T14:19:00.000-07:00

Nastyy.

2005-04-10T14:18:00.000-07:00

Holdin' those horses.

2005-04-10T14:16:00.000-07:00

Flower pots in the backyard, Easter weekend. My mother said I was crazy, but I said, "I'll kill you." Then I took some pictures.

2005-04-10T14:15:00.000-07:00

Oooshabooboo.

2005-04-10T14:14:00.000-07:00

It's Easter ... Let's meet the grandparents for a hamburger or two.

2005-04-10T14:13:00.000-07:00

2005-04-10T14:12:00.001-07:00

Singing an old Irish love song.

2005-04-10T14:12:00.000-07:00

Jared and Diana came down, and Diana begged to go to Bush's Chicken. So we went.

2005-04-10T14:11:00.000-07:00

Eat that food.

2005-04-10T14:10:00.001-07:00

That's the way.

2005-04-10T14:06:00.001-07:00

Drop it like it's hottt.

2005-04-10T14:06:00.000-07:00

Sing it, baby.

2005-04-10T14:05:00.000-07:00

Rotunda.

2005-04-10T14:04:00.000-07:00

Rockin' ...

2005-03-21T17:24:00.000-08:00

What did I want to do for my birthday? Go to the freakin' zoo, of course. What we see here are my dad, brother, grandmother and mother, waiting in line at the entry gate.

2005-03-21T17:22:00.000-08:00

The whole family's here. It's fun. Blake's especially excited.

2005-03-21T17:21:00.000-08:00

My mother and grandmother, here pictured, find the white-handed gibbons quite facinating.

2005-03-21T17:20:00.000-08:00

Blake and I are really great ladybugs.

2005-03-21T17:19:00.000-08:00

A meerkat. Delightful little critter.

2005-03-21T17:18:00.000-08:00

My grandma and my dad love chatting near the tiger cage.
