I’m not much of a title guy, so I went pretty much to the point here.

Caught this guy on it’s evening snack back in November. Surprisingly enough, it didn’t fly away when I got close to take it’s picture.

Monarch Butterflies.

Took these on a trip to the Zilker Botanical garden back in November, with these two being my favorite shots.

The young and the withered.

Saw this small patch of flowers while going to a Starbucks one afternoon. It caught my attention how the roses go from healthy to complexly withered, kinda like a reminder that everyone will die at some point.

On my way back home I stopped by the ATC tower from the now gone Robert Mueller Municipal Airport.

I used this as a chance to get some closeups of the my favorite part of the tower with my recently acquired Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens.

And while I was there, I thought it would be cool to have an airplane in the background of this now abandoned tower.

Luckily I didn’t have to wait long since a minute after setting up, I saw in FlightRadar that a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 was in final approach.

And here is the whole tower in its abandoned glory, one day I would love to get in the tower and see the view from inside.

Found this while browsing at Hobby Lobby. Caught my attention since I never knew that Nissan had produced an SUV like it.

This particular diecast has a CalTex livery and the roof comes off.

Messed around the zoom lens while taking long exposures, I went from 17mm to 28mm zoom.
