About Me

My photo
Kansas City, MO
I am an old, has been football player that is in constant pain from the glory days. Yeah some glory, 6-48-1. One disc partially removed and many more needing removed. I love Jesus and try to serve Him daily. I would say my life is centered around Him and I try to always be a servant of His. He has influenced my life in the past and present. I am married and have two children. I don't sleep much and therefore I have a reason to be grumpy, on occasion. I love the outdoors and watching nature. If you don't know me very well, then you will soon find out by my pictures that I love to hunt, fish and take pictures. I especially enjoy taking my friends and family hunting.

A DAY IN THE WOODS.











I love to spend time in the woods with my bow and camera. I truly love to see God's sun rise and set. Feel the wind blow on my face on a cool day and feel the warm sun shine against my face. The colors of the leaves this Fall were fantastic.








However, the thing I like the best is seeing the animals God created and watch them as they SURVIVE in the wild.








On Monday I was able to see a turkey, six deer and one bobcat. I was able to get my camera out and take a few pictures of the deer and bobcat. Even though they were less than 20 yards from me, they never were spooked by my presence. They could hear the camera click but were never alarmed. If they would have caught my scent they would have been gone instantly. I watched the bobcat chase a squirrel around the big tree and then into the hole you see in the pictures. They are extremely fast. The squirrel lived to see another sunset but I don't know how many more it will have? As the bobcat was chasing the squirrel, a few crows were flying overhead alerting all animals of the presence of danger. Yes they were making that lovely sound I am known for making on occasion. KAW, KAW, KAW -- can you hear me Judy?








Anyway just wanted to share with you more pictures. I passed on the deer as next year he will be a nice big buck. If he makes it through rifle season.








Hope all is well and say a Prayer for Nancy. She is so dear to us all.
