• Welcome to my photography blog! I do photography as a hobby and live in Weatherford, Texas. While Weatherford isn't really the "heart of Texas", I am a Texan and consider my photos as indeed "from the heart of Texas" thus my blog name. I love taking images of nature, flowers, people, animals, fun places and things that I find interesting. I have done some portraits that you can see here on my blog in my photo gallery. Please scroll down for my latest blog posts featuring my photos, life stories, adventures and photo challenges. Thanks for visiting! ~ Sandy

SkyWatch Friday ~ Above the Vortex

Last Sunday while on a Social Shoot with other photographers, I took a few minutes to snap this photo of the “Vortex” at the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.    I like this silhouette of it against the blue (and hot) August sky.  I’ll have to plan another visit in the fall to take more photos.  This 2002 sculpture was created by Richard Serra.  It stands 67 feet tall and weighs a whopping 230 tons! Yes, TONS!!  It is made of steel that oxidized over time into it’s rich patina color.

And then when I stepped around to the other side of the museum building I saw this lovely cloud formation–it would have been nice if it had turned into a rain cloud, but it did not.

It is so nice that it is Friday!  Not sure yet what our plans are for the weekend…hopefully a bit of relaxing, a bit of blogging, maybe some scrapbooking or card making, dinner out and if it’s cool enough– a Sunday afternoon road trip!

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to click here to go over to SkyWatch Friday for a list of other blogs and skies from around the world!

What a nice surprise to see someone else was enjoying the sights of a city and museum. Your sky is a perfect sight for today's Sky Watch.

Great Skywatch photos! I don't know about where you are, but here, with all the humidity and the "cool fronts" we keep having, we have some AMAZING cloud formations! I find myself staring at the sky often lately!
