The 4-Legged Blues Brothers
By KRae Merk | October 3, 2009
A couple of friends of mine are blues guitarist, and I decided to have a little fun with it. 
Oh, in case your wonderin’… yes one of the dogs did NOT like to wear sunglasses, in this case it was Wolfe. (Wolfe is the one laying down) So, I had to be a Marine and improvise. I found some hay baleing twine and tied them on his head, and yes, he was not happy about that… not one bit… tough… I got a great picture, and that’s all that counts.

Sunset and Moon
By KRae Merk | September 28, 2009
A few weeks ago I was shooting the sunset, and after the sun went down I started shooting the moon. (not the stars)
When I shot these cloud, I tried to figure out what they looked like, a squiggly handle-bar mustache?

I love these photos, for a born and bred Texan, they mean a lot.

Deer, Outhouses, and ATV’s
By KRae Merk | September 18, 2009
Last time I was out at the “back 49″ (way out in the country) I got a few pics that I likes for reasons that I don’t understand.
This is my faithful Polaris ATV that has endured what I call, “photographer abuse”

Fixing “Fronkenstien”
By KRae Merk | September 14, 2009
Over Labor Day weekend, my brother Kody was helping some of his buddies in putting “Fronkenstien” back together.
Now, “Fronkenstien” is a older Toyota pickup that has been refitted with super swamper mud tires, and has a reputation of rescuing everyone from the Deep Depths of the Infamous Red Mud.
Fronkenstien had his engin taken out and was rebuilt a few months ago, and I took these pictures while Kody, Lance, and Tom were trying to rewire the engin back up. (I won’t go into details on how they put the pieces and the parts and all the nuts and bolts back in, nor the conversation that followed)
See me in the mirror?
This is Fronkenstien’s “moon roof”
Fronkenstien has many uses; a hat rack.
This Praymantis was “praying” over Fronkenstien, and we all decided to leave him alone, only occasional asking him to pray to God to make the !#$%& thing run!

Creepie Crawlies
By KRae Merk | September 11, 2009
The other day I was out and about on my faithful Polaris ATV and I spotted a corner in the fence line that offered great pictures for bugs and lizards.

Cool Dude
By KRae Merk | September 8, 2009
The other morning, I noticed Wolfe laying down with his paws crossed, and he was so relaxed and cool that I just fell in love with the pictures I got of him.

Legs, Heads, and Flashlights
By KRae Merk | September 1, 2009
As crazy as the title is, the pics to go with it arn’t as crazy. As any photographer will know, its very hard to put the camera down, (its VERY hard for me) and so I end up shooting anything that I can… for instances, my model horses;
And at night time when all the lights are out, I’ll bring out my Surfire flashlight and keep on shooting, much to my dog and cats annoyance.

Weekend Bones
By KRae Merk | August 29, 2009
This weekend I gave all the dogs a bone, because we had a “cool front” come through Dallas. (cool front to a Texan means temperatures in the upper 80ties… burrr!)
I love this shot.

Harbor Portrait
By KRae Merk | August 26, 2009
I got to looking at my favorite pic I got at the harbor this last weekend, and I started playing with it in Lightroom 2. And after I got to looking at the original and the edited one, and I was blown away by the difference;
