I would love sitting there if I were living in the city! Beautiful.
Hi Ray,
This home is in a section of South Dallas called Kessler Park, very hilly and densely wooded. Kessler Park is interesting because it's right on the corner of opulence and get robbed and shot blvd. The downtown skyline is just over the trees to the right of the pool, the view from their second floor balcony/master suite is spectacular. The home is a block from Methodist Hospital, definitely an area in transition, in a good way.

Sorry I miss-identified the holster, I am on my 13" screen and it looked like there was more hiding under his shirt.
When I was in 7th-12th grade most guys carried a pocket knife. They did have rules about the blade length, I think 5 inches. There were times when a teacher might ask if someone had a pocket knife to open a box or cut something if they didn't have scissors.
No apology needed Ray! I knew the "jist" of your comment.
We did it here also. No today anyway!

Love the yard/pool shots Jim, just gorgeous, and how people have a nice house and take care of their place and actually mow the lawn...
It was a "right of passage" growing up Bill! Especially if you were a Scout!

I just spent a couple of hours trying to lighten my rolling case for the weekend in Houston, don't need things like T/S lenses, etc. Try as I might, the dang thing still weighs a ton, ugh! Really, all I need are three bodies, the 600, the 100-500, and the loaner 100-300, plus a ton of batteries.

I hear ya Jim, and I have a fraction of what you have and still try to lighten it all to one case but there's always that extra lens, body, flash, etc, etc you might need.

I'm thinking that I've been doing this long enough to know what I need to shoot what I shoot........... Today I pared it down to an R5C and two R5MKII's, the 600/4, 100-500, 24-105/2.8 and an RF 100-300/2.8. Ideally I could have used one more body so I didn't have to swap lenses.
Beautiful day, great skies, temps in the mid 80's with a nice breeze off the Gulf. Just got to my hotel and am downloading.

Your "arsenal" is full Jim! You have all focal dimensions well covered!
WE have had a spectacular, but extremely dangerously dry, Fall! Mild days with cool nights but are in a "Fire Warning" due to no rain(over 3 weeks) and very high winds!
I live about an hour and a half north of Ellington, the fog started to burn off here at 11am. I bet you came up with some great shots, can't wait to see them.
I think I got some unusual ,, it was a cool fog that kind of layered and ebbed and flowed. I'm beginning to download today's images, we'll see if I can stay awake long enough to back them up.
I remember those foggy mornings at Ellington when I would sit on the crew ladder waiting for the fog to lift so I could launch the pilots in their "all weather" fighters.
Of course, those mornings were better than when it rained.
