Well, here we are back at square one. I gave it a shot with a rebranding and failed...miserably! I've decided that the old reliable branding is just going to have to be good enough,So I'll just move on. We are back to just JAMES G. JACOBS PHOTOGRAPHY!

Will be back in 2025 and will be more consistent with post on this account. 2024 has not been a good year for me in my personal life...but nonetheless, I'll be back! Till then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

@Mike_TH1984 Thank you. I miss west Texas as well...Who knows maybe sometime I;ll be back out that way. Went through a split up and decided to leave and went to Tyler area and hated it, so I moved back home. This will forever be home to me

@Mike_TH1984 You would be correct sir! I no longer live there. been gone for nearly a year now. I'm back in Alabama where I'm from.

[James G. Jacobs Photography @JmsGJacobsPhoto]

Well I guess it's time to catch up! I went home to Alabama during Christmas for a visit with family and sadly a funeral as well. My step mother passed away from ALS. These were taken on the Tennessee River in Muscle Shoals/Florence at O'Neil Bridge & Wheeler Lock & Dam

Hello all! Quick update here...I've not been on this platform very much lately as I have been on a little hiatus from photography. Moving to to a new place with so many people ( EVERYWHERE ) I've been a little uninspired lately. Don't worry, I haven't given up and will be back.

Wednesday morning I had to go super early just east of Dallas for my pickup, like I do most of the time. But I was running with a couple of other trucks ( the ones in front of me ). We left the concrete-crushing yard at sunrise and headed east.

Well, it looks like Fall has finally made its way into East Texas! The leaves are slowly turning into these vivid fall colors that I love!
I came across this while out visiting a couple of other lakes around the area. This road goes down to a boat launch on Lake Striker.

This old train trestle is down south of Palestine, Texas. It is part of the Union Pacific Railway that is still in use. The Trinity River is also about a quarter of a mile on down the track. I missed getting a shot of the train crossing it by about 5 min. Maybe next time!

This shot was taken yesterday morning at Love's Lookout Mountain in Jacksonville, Texas. This was a little after sunrise as I was looking out across the valley with lots of morning fog as a cold front was starting to push through.

[James G. Jacobs Photography @JmsGJacobsPhoto]

Oh BTW! I have finally bought a new camera! Nikon D5300 with Nikon glass and a few extra goodies that go along with it. Unless specified, all shots from here on will be from the Nikon D5300

[James G. Jacobs Photography @JmsGJacobsPhoto]

Leaves are starting to turn as the air gets thin and has a slight chill to it. Autumn is finally upon us here in Texas. Fog rises from the valley as the morning sun rises to warm up the surroundings as we start a new day.

Sometimes the winds will lie still and the water turns to glass acting as a big mirror reflecting everything around it.

What a spectacular sunrise this morning from Forsan, Texas

[James G. Jacobs Photography @JmsGJacobsPhoto]

Being that I'm from Alabama and I now live in Texas, I've been told ( several times ) you have to see a Pat Green show! Well, I finally got to see him at the Big Spring Rodeo..and WOW! What a great show! I totally get it now! @PATGREENMUSIC

[James G. Jacobs Photography @JmsGJacobsPhoto]

Stopped back at the same spot as the last posted photo, except with a little different light and perspective.

[James G. Jacobs Photography @JmsGJacobsPhoto]

No worries folks, I'm still around! Taking a break from social media a bit. Will pop in from time to time and post a picture or two. Hope everyone has a great summer and be careful with the heat. Yesterday it was 113 deg. at 5pm here.

This photo was at sunrise yesterday morning

Nothing like them West Texas highways and byways!
