After 10 years on EBlogger, I am making the move to <a href="http://www.drillersplace.wordpress.com/">WordPress</a>. I have been testing the site for a couple of weeks now and I am satisfied that <a href="http://www.drillersplace.wordpress.com/">WordPress</a> is where my blog will now reside. I have never had any major issues with blogger and I have enjoyed sharing my adventures here, but the time has come for me to move in a different direction. Since my blog contains a large number of photos, <a href="http://www.drillersplace.wordpress.com/">WordPress</a> seems to do a better job of displaying the images. You will notice that my new address is <a href="http://www.drillersplace.wordpress.com/">www.drillersplace.wordpress.com</a>.

I am still testing my site over on WordPress so you can find similar content to this post over at <a href="http://drillersplace.wordpress.com/">Driller's Place</a> on WordPress. Stop by and see what you think, then let me know which site you prefer. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.<br />
Spring soccer is here!!! I love high school soccer. Our daughter played when she was in high school, our oldest grand daughter played the sport during her high school years, and now the youngest grand daughter is a sophomore and playing on the high school JV team.<br />
<br />

She is the one in the center of the frame in the white uniform. Last Tuesday the JV team opened their season with a double header. Our granddaughter scored four goals in the two matches. We didn't get to see the first match, but here are the photos of the two goals she scored in the second contest.<br />
<br />

This is the first year she has had the opportunity to play the center forward position and she is making the most of it. This shot finds the lower left corner of the goal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A little later in the match she finds that lower left corner open again and beats the goal tender to the spot for her second score. Something tells me that this is going to be a fun season to watch.

Our youngest granddaughter competes in the high jump as a sophomore. It was a long but exciting day at the track. The highlight of the day was this young man.<br />

This competitor won the pole vault by being the only one to clear 15'-6". The bar was moved to 16'-0" and he cleared that height as well. Again the bar was raised and set at 16'-6"! This photo is the successful vault at the height of 16'-6". The state record for pole vault is 17'-1", so the bar was raised to 17'-2". After several hours of competition, there just wasn't enough left in the tank to clear the record setting height. Still, it was an Awe...some day at the track.<br />

<br />
How often have you found yourself in a difficult situation and turned to
God in prayer? When the difficulties of this life find their way into
our existence, it is easy to look toward heaven and proclaim to the
Creator that we cannot handle the situation and we are turning the issue
over to Him. We are turning loose of the reigns and allowing God to fix
the problem. Once the thing that has caused us so much anguish is
resolved, we say, "Thank you Lord, I'll take it from here.<span class="text_exposed_show">"
God has a plan for our life. His plan is detailed and complete. It
encompasses every moment that we live, whether we are awake or asleep.
God's plan is not just for the difficult times or for those events that
seem to spiral our life out of control. No, God's plan is more complete
than that. While we may acknowledge that we need Him in the bad times,
the truth is, <b>I Need Thee Every Hour</b>. Have a blessed day.</span>DrillerAA09http://www.blogger.com/profile/15970703268465061545noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984235648128966516.post-7977266684742705692018-02-18T01:00:00.000-06:002018-02-18T01:00:18.084-06:00Awe...some Mondays<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally, there is that unconditional love thing that puppies have. Lucy loves everybody and every thing. So, while a wagon full of cockers is very cute, the cutest thing is the one we own. Have a blessed week.</div>

I took this image last Tuesday evening prior to the Super Blue Blood Moon lunar eclipse. There was a bit of overcast on Wednesday morning and I was not in a good location to get a clean image of the eclipse, so I skipped that opportunity and just captured these images.<br />

Did someone say "Blue Moon"? Blue moon actually refers to the second full moon in any given month. There are several of these each year. The moon isn't actually blue, I just put a filter to it.<br />

No, the moon hasn't created it's own halo. I've just added a mild white vignette filter. It looks a little like the moon is peeking through a hole in the clouds.<br />

Of course, if you missed the total lunar eclipse Wednesday morning, you can always create your own. All you need is a good editing program and the right filter.

And while I am not saying that I intend to bring back the weekly post, I believe that there will be the occasional song or Scripture passage that will trigger an inspirational thought that I feel prompted to share. That happened recently as I was watching a video by Mercy Me.<br />
<br />
<br />

We've all been where this song is. Things aren't going well, in fact our
life is a mess on some level. We've heard all of the cliche verses from
friends and loved ones, intending to encourage us and and give us hope.
The fact is we are just putting one foot in front of the other, trying
to get to the next day, hoping it will be better. Our faith is
challenged and it takes all the faith we have just to move forward.
God's people are not immune from difficulties. We suffer the <span class="text_exposed_show">same
calamities as the world around us. As the song says, it's easy to sing
praises to God when we're on the mountain top, but not so much when we
are walking through the valley. Regardless of where we find ourselves in
this journey called life, the Christian must always trust in the
providence of God. Our life is not a surprise to Him. In Jeremiah 1:5
God says, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you." It is okay to
weep over our circumstances. It is okay to take time to consider our
place in this world. It's okay to cry out to God to release us from our
difficulty. The question is, what is our response if He says "No, or Not
right now." It is in those times that we must say to our Creator, "Even
if You don't, my hope is in You alone." Regardless of the trials and
tribulations that this expedition called life may contain, as long as I have my
Savior, "It is Well With My Soul." Have blessed day.</span>DrillerAA09http://www.blogger.com/profile/15970703268465061545noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984235648128966516.post-80592711773395200552018-01-30T01:00:00.000-06:002018-01-30T01:00:19.790-06:00Wordless Wednesday - Iced Water<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I try to make a visit to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art several times a year. I made my first visit of the year on Wednesday. Part of the galleries are closed while new installations are being placed. However the outdoor art and trail system are open. This guy is one of the permanent works in the collection. This is the first time I have captured him without the sun directly at his back. Ride 'em Cowboy!<br />

This is Lucy's first winter. She celebrated her first birthday in December so all of this cold weather and snow is new to her. We don't get a lot of cold weather or snow here in Northwest Arkansas, but last Tuesday the temperature reached -1 with a windchill of -16 and we got around one inch of snow.<br />
<br />

Lucy did not let the snow deter her from checking the fence line for bunnies. There are a lot of rabbits in our area due to new home construction that is displacing the cottontails. They come through our yard all of the time, leaving their unique deposits. Lucy follows the trail to one of several low spots in the fence that the bunnies use as escape routes. She checks those spots every time she goes outside. I have also mounted a couple of bird feeders on the fence and Lucy believes that what ever the birds kick out of the feeder and on to the ground belongs to her.<br />

Lucy has also decided that eating snow is more fun than drinking water from her bowl, so she sniffs, snorts, then hydrates herself with some fresh snow. Once Lucy has checked the fence line, done her business, and gotten a snow snack, she is ready to return to the warmth of the living room. Dogs are funny people.

Winter sports are now in full swing and the conference games have started. Tuesday night I wandered over to one of the local high schools to photograph a game.<br />
<br />

One thing that has changed about the game in the past 50 years is that these kids play above the rim...a lot! I believe that the tallest player on our team was 6'-4" and I don't believe anybody could actually dunk the ball.<br />

On this night the home team, in white, lost. It was competitive for about three quarters before the visitors pulled away for good. Still, it was a good photo adventure.<br />

If you have a local high school team near by, get out and go to a couple of games. It is good cheap entertainment. Take your camera and practice your action photography.<br />

In our community senior citizens, age 65+, get free all sports passes. We can go to any home game in any sport for free. Now that is cheap entertainment. See you on the court, or in the pool, maybe at the indoor track, or on the wrestling mat.

There was still a nip in the air, but I decided to head out to a local lake where several people had sighted a black swan. I have never seen a black swan, so the opportunity to see and photograph the bird was more than I could resist.<br />

When I first arrived the bird was swimming in the lake and I was able to get a photo of him/her in the water.<br />

After a few minutes it wandered up on to the shoreline for a photo shoot. I was struck by the red eyes and bill.<br />

The photographer is also obliged to get the "S-curve" neck image as well. My model was the epitome of cooperation.<br />

After a couple of more poses for the portfolio we decided that I had enough images and parted ways. It was a good afternoon at the lake and I am sure I will get a few more opportunities to photograph this elegant bird again.

One of the family traditions is that the grandkids have special Christmas PJ's. This year the girls went with a Star Wars theme while the grandson opted for Arkansas Razorback attire.<br />

Meanwhile, my wife and me chose traditional Christmas red. Merry Christmas everyone.<br />

This is the first year I have done an encore song. Most of the songs I have posted have centered around the birth of our Savior. Questions have been asked like, "Mary did You Know?" and there has been celebrations like "Hallelujah Chorus". A couple of songs have reminded us that there was no room at the inn for Mary and Joseph. The real question that remains to be asked, "Is there room in your heart for a Savior." <br />
