The year before my son entered High School we took a dad and lad trip to Trappers lake in the Flattops Wilderness area in Colorado. This is the view out the back door of our tent.



I always liked this pic of my son picking up dekes after a duck hunt. I think we only killed a couple of birds that morning.



I gave this dog to my brother in law when it was a pup. It wouldn't fetch a biscuit. I always got a kick out of the feather on it's nose from sniffin' the doves.



About 15 of us went on a cruise a few years back. We were supposed to go to Grand Cayman. The hurricane had destroyed a bunch of the sights so the ship detoured to Costa Maya. There was literally nothing there at that time. We took a rickety bus ride a few miles south to Mujajual. There was just some huts selling trinkets, beer fabulous guacamole and tacos. This was the view as we sat on the beach.



Last winter on a cold morning, I went out to start my truck. It made kind of a studder as it tried to turn over and I heard a cat scream. I shut it off and opened my hood but there was no cat to be found. I backed up a few feet and found evidence. Picture below.

Here you go gunslinger ....




The view out the window of our villa in Antigua.

My turn...

South clear creek falls near Creede, Colorado.



Bristol mtn. is to the left in this picture, near South Clear creek.



Valley near Pagosa Springs on million dollar highway between South Fork and Pagosa Springs, Colorado.



Pasture in Moore county between Dumas and Stinnett on Hwy 152.



Wheat field on our old farm on Hwy 152.



Sunset near same location as above.

This one kind of sucks cause it was on my phone but still a great photo. It's the bonfire memorial at sunrise. I did have an awesome shot with the sun rising through a portal, but I lost it.

thanks Mark, didn't realize i needed to have a higher post count before I could post pictures.

markandles - is that first pic Beavers Bend?

I have to agree with a previous poster...this is the best thread on texags right now.

This has been one of my favorite threads of all time. Its also inspired me to pick up my camera more.

Deer and turkey on the Brazos in the late morning.


Teal in flight


Duck Hunting morning.

I'll add some more....

Me taking my son for his first walk along the river


US and Canada border


Is this a UFO? I swear it has me tripped up. Will send high res pic to anyone that wants it.


Glacier National Park forest


Saved on the way to Many Glacier


On the way to Hidden Lake (Glacier National Park)


Can you beat being able to see 4 feet into a river from the top of a bridge (Missouri River in MT beneath Holter Dam). This is actually just up river of the "Untouchables" bridge.


Vermejo Ranch (Ted Turner sure has some nice land in northern NM)


Me fishing the South Platte in CO...loved this place. This is off the beaten path and I only found it with a guide. Will send GPS coordinates if you want.


It was about 35 degrees and my wife decided to get up with me to go fishing/sitting around at 5:30 in the morning. I dont think I could have landed a better catch than this. Gotta love her...


So my hairy ass doesnt scare her, as evidenced by our two kids, but this little chipmunk scares my wife??? Go figure.


My wifes first trout on a fly rod...though it was only about 6 inches (insert joke here)

best thread ever...

Flyfisher, I don't know if it is Beavers Bend.

I just fixed it for gunslinger. I don't think he has enought posts to post pics.

After I posted it, I noticed I didn't copy the text to it, but he had already deleted his entire post, so I didn't know what it was.

But when it popped up, I wondered the same thing. I can't tell you how many Crawdads I caught with my Brother below that spillway at Beavers Bend (when the gates weren't open!).

So, Gunslinger, what's the pic?

That is indeed the low water damn at BB, I may have said spillway, The one off the dirt road at the end of the RV riverfront camping area. I grew up in East TX and since BB was only a 2 hour drive spent many weekends there growing up. That is where I learned to fly fish (sort of, I only go about once a year so I have to relearn everything each year).

Aggiegunslinger, I can't tell you how many memories that spillway pic brings back. I grew up about 2 1/2 hours away in E TX and spent MANY vacations there.

And we have old 8mm film of that spot. Can you say beehive hairdo's? On, my mom. I'm not that old!

That was the first place I took my city slicker wife camping, who now enjoys camping.

When the control gates were shut (all the way?) my bro and I would catch gobs of crawdads in the rocks below that spillway. And being the poor white trash we were, we fried and ate every one of them.

Tanzania...Baobab,Candlelabra & Monitor lizard

FlyFisher99 your UFO picture looks sort of like a "rod" http://www.subversiveelement.com/Rods.html

Here are a few from SW Nm

30 points - 3 little muleys near Creede, Colorado:



One colossal rock near Creede, Colorado - I'm searching far and wide for the complementary rock:

Farmer Fred - Yeah, I dont know what it is. There wasnt anything on the lense because that's the only pic that had that "thing" in it. And if you zoom in really closely it looks like a sonic boom. I'm not claiming its a UFO but it sure is interesting.

Ok, I'll play. Here are some pics from my buddy's 56,000 acre ranch in Northeastern New Mexico and Southeastern Colorado.

56,000 acres - man that is quite a spread

And here's a few of a storm rolling in down in Seadrift, TX.

I didn't take this one...but it's way cool.
