The Red-headed woodpecker is not uncommon in my region but easily missed in the area where I live since it doesn't seem to stay long. I was happy to get this capture today.

It was a cold start to my round of golf today and I wasn't shooting very well. But then things started looking much better when I got my first birdie, a Red-shouldered Hawk. #birds

I got to shoot the Sam Houston women's basketball game against UTEP last night. UTEP hit a game winning 3 pt shot with just under 6 seconds to defeat SH 64-62. The Bearkats are now 7-5 & 0-2 in Conf. USA. #Sports #Basketball

I haven't done bird photography in a few years. Perhaps 2025 is time get back outdoors. Here is a bird from Friday which I don't remember capturing before, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I didn't know if I could a decent shot or not since he didn't want to stay still. #birds

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon from a few years ago. This was just a quick day trip. How awesome it would be to schedule a vaca for a few weeks in this area.

Sam Houston finished their nonconference schedule with a 111-65 win over U of Dallas. Bearkats will enter conference play with a 7-6 record as they head on the road to face former long time coach Jason Hooten and New Mexico State. SH will look to repeat as regular season champs in Conference USA.

Congrats to my Sam Houston State Bearkats on their victory last night. This was their first bowl game in only the second season of FBS competition. Last night was a different view for me as I opted to enjoy the game among family and friends in the stands.

Wonderful work. My wife and I made it a point to visit this lighthouse a couple of years ago while we were in Tallahassee. There's not many lighthouses in Texas.

Keeler heads to Temple as Bearkats prep to go bowling Sam Houston will have to find a new head football coach for the first time since 2014, and the first time as an FBS program, according to multiple reports Sunday.

Well, my Bearkats will be looking for a new head coach heading into their bowl game.

Correction, SH was 3-9 last year not 3-8.

Sam Houston completed the regular season on Friday defeating Liberty 20-18. The win gives the Bearkats a 9-3 record in their 2nd year of competing at the FBS level. The Kats finished 3-8 in year one. The SH will wait to see if they will advance to the conference title game and then a bowl invite.

My first post is from one of my hobbies; capturing action photos of Sam Houston football games. The Bearkats improved to 7-2 with a win over LaTech.
