It has been a rough week for my family. On Saturday morning my brother-in-law Russ passed away. I want to share his obituary so it is always in a place where I know I can find it. Russell Kahler Obituary Russell Duane Kahler, 63, of Boone, Iowa, passed away at… Read More »Russ Kahler
For the first time last year, I finally went and checked out the Christmas light show at Reiman Gardens. It was definitely worth the price of admission and I took a few photos. Some more Christmas lights to share in the coming week!
All this cool weather lately has me in the mood to share some pictures from the Easter egg hunt at Teresa’s house this year. As with most Easter egg hunts, a good time was had by all. The Easter Bunny wears crocs…
Ooooh… starting to run out of 2023 images to edit and share. Well not really, but at least getting near the end of the year. But it feels good that maybe by the end of August (hopefully, but not necessarily likely) I will be only posting 2024 images for the… Read More »Boone Christmas Parade
Probably well beyond time I shared some pictures from Anela’s birthday party all the way back in November. I’m real big on the toddler party circuit. Real big!
Time to share the last collection of glorious BLACK AND WHITE images I took but didn’t use for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. These were also all taken at Logan’s birthday party. The ink has barely dried on this post and I’m already sad our trip through all the glorious BLACK… Read More »When You Were Here Before

Since Easter is tomorrow, thought I would share some pictures from Christmas. I spent the day with Teresa’s family and unfortunately didn’t get to see Carla’s family as they were down with the COVID. Maybe next year. Here are a few photos: I hope everybody has as good of a… Read More »Christmas – 2023
A couple months back Jesse and I hit the open road and ended up at The Feed Mill Restaurant in Audubon, Iowa. It was the 9th stop (technically 10th – but I’ll cover that) on the Tenderloin Trail 2.0. Leaving me just one stamp short of earning my Tenderloin Trail… Read More »Tenderloin Trail 2.0: Audubon Field Work
Time for another collection of images from the Pufferbilly Days Parade: Still one more collection of photos from the parade left to post.
This year Logan and Amanda hosted the Bennett Family Thanksgiving. I took a few pictures, but not many, but I thought I would share a few of them. I once again hope all of you had a good to great Thanksgiving!

Seems like a good time for another backlog cleanup. These images were taken in October of 2022, but never really fit into any other “An Artist’s Notebook” posts. Most of these were taken before the Iowa State-Kansas State football game. A game that Iowa State completely handed away to the… Read More »And You Always Say I’m Never Satisfied
Back on Easter I took the drone up for a quick flight in Teresa’s neighborhood to take my submission for ODD CAMERA ANGLE for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Here are some of the other pictures I took, but didn’t use: The house that was burnt down yesterday is in the… Read More »Rodan139: Easter
Seems like a good time to clean up the July backlog. This collection of images was taken in July of last year, but never really found a spot in a previous “An Artist’s Notebook” entry. Some pictures are of a storm. Some are from the Boone County Fair. Some are… Read More »The Next Second You Were Gone
About the time this publishes Iowa’s (yes there is another university in the Cyclone State) women’s basketball team will be tipping off against Louisville for a chance to play in the first Final Four for any Iowa university since 1993. In that year, the Iowa women’s basketball team made it… Read More »Methodist Grillin’
Need to start today off by wishing Angie a happy birthday: I don’t know I’ve seen Angie in person in years, so that is a picture of her pitching Little White Lye Soap. I hope your birthday has all the mirth that you desire! +++++++ I had a good Christmas.… Read More »Christmas 2022
Pushing off the next Formal Portrait Sunday another week. Instead, I’m going to share some pictures from Kanoa’s birthday party from a few months back. We had ice cream and cake at Alexis’ and Kupono’s apartment and then went to the park to play. Here are some of my favorite… Read More »Kanoa’s Party
Looking at my SELFIE PROJECT pictures from the month of October, I’m not sure I had a very active October. Seems like I barely left my house. I’ll try to be more active in November. Here are some of my favorite selfies from THE SELFIE PROJECT in October: October 1… Read More »Selfie Project – October 2022
I’m kicking the decision about Formal Portrait Sunday down the road another week. This collection is the last of the pictures I took in 2021 to share. A couple are from Halloween night. I don’t get many trick-or-treaters I know these days. So there are only two pictures of people… Read More »On Balance – 2021
A quick heads up. If you were thinking of going to or entering an animal into the Pufferbilly Days Dog and Exotic Animal Show, because of the extreme heat of today it was postponed. It is now tomorrow at noon at the park on 9th and Story. +++++++ I have… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – July 2022
