ballin’ with birds of prey

i play basketball every day.  i know, i know.  hard to picture.

regardless… it happens.  every day.

it can get pretty mundane i will admit.  but today was vastly different.

i walked up to the court, head down.  did my stretches.  heard a loud screech.

one that i don’t usually hear in the middle of dallas.

i looked up, and this is what i saw.  remarkable!  a red-tailed hawk about 15 yards from me.

what a phenomenal bird.  he allowed me to get within 10 feet of him too!

he caught a squirrel, so i think he was concerned with defending his meal.

but he sat there and watched me as i played basketball for a half an hour.

what an unusual treat today…

TULIP series | photos

lately, i’ve been wanting to do a series of photographs that illustrate the five points of Calvinism. strange, i know. but these concepts intrigue me.

i’ve had many odd images in my head for some time, and they are just now starting to come together and make a little sense.  to me at least.

basically, Calvinism is known by an acronym: T.U.L.I.P.  i found a lot of great information at the Calvinist Corner blog, check it out if you’re interested in more background.

i’ll leave the interpretation up to the viewer.  feel free to comment… more images to follow.
