Believe in Tomorrow
This is a collection of flower images I took mostly in my Mom’s yard at the end of May. I believe the roses were a Mother’s Day present from Carla.
It Just Blooms
I need to start today by wishing Russell a happy birthday. Happy birthday Russell! I hope ripped it up on your birthday as much as you desired to rip it up! +++++++ Today’s collection is a bunch of pictures I took tooling around my back yard back in May. The… Read More »It Just Blooms
Aqua
Today is a collection of pictures I took back in the good old days, when it used to rain in Boone. Back before the drought. Or I sprayed these things down with a water bottle. That is a lot of wet flowers.
Dog and Daisy
This is just a cleanup of some photos I took of Naima and of a daisy that lives in the flower box on my garage. Took these on my birthday. These pictures were before Naima had surgery, as you can tell, she doesn’t look weird. Her fur is slowly growing… Read More »Dog and Daisy
My Fear Doesn’t Stand a Chance
If you are near your Photography 139 Calendar, you know that today is a big day for the Photography 139 Universe. Today is Naima’s birthday! While Naima is spending her birthday socially distancing as there has been a resurgence of Covid in Iowa and in most of the United States.… Read More »My Fear Doesn’t Stand a Chance
And My Colors Change Like the Sea
I don’t think a person should go into too much detail about how you create your ABSTRACT images, but I think these alternate ABSTRACT images aren’t too hard to figure out. I hope some of you enjoyed making your own ABSTRACT images last week. +++++++ This is your reminder that… Read More »And My Colors Change Like the Sea
East of Omaha
About 10 days ago I replaced the sink in my kitchen. By replacing the sink in my kitchen, I mean that Duncan’s came in and replaced my sink. Now I’m not a person that is particularly passionate about my sink. However, my Mom is for some reason. So she really… Read More »East of Omaha
WPC – WEEK 250 – ABSTRACT
The Boone Chamber announced on Friday that they are cancelling Pufferbilly Days. I think it is the only responsible thing that they can do. I was worried that they would hold it, after the Boone County Fair decided to go on. Pufferbilly Days worried more than the Boone County Fair… Read More »WPC – WEEK 250 – ABSTRACT
Keep Me in the Moment
Since they announced that the Boone County Fair was a go, I have been on the fence about entering photography contest. Fortunately, that decision has been made. The contest has been cancelled. So has the Open Horticulture contest and the Open Home Division. Don’t have to worry about that and… Read More »Keep Me in the Moment
WPC – WEEK 249 – ROAD TRIP
Once again, no problems reaching double digit submissions! 38 straight weeks! Once again, I didn’t have to send out any reminder text messages this morning. Not going to lie, even though this week’s theme couldn’t be easier, I worry that the streak might end at 38. I guess we’ll find… Read More »WPC – WEEK 249 – ROAD TRIP
Such a Classic Waste of Cool
Another week of working from home almost in the books. I don’t even know how long it has been now. I don’t that much has changed. I still listen to 96.1 in the morning. In the afternoons, there isn’t really anything designated any more. I’ve been listening to podcasts I… Read More »Such a Classic Waste of Cool

Before the Swallow Dares – 2020
Today is Jorge’s birthday! Happy birthday Jorge! I hope your birthday is as wonderful as you hoped it would be! +++++++ Here is a quick update on Naima. Her surgery went well. The mass they removed from under her shoulder was even bigger than expected, but Dr. Stephanie said that… Read More »Before the Swallow Dares – 2020
Be True
Today, a little after 8 AM, I dropped Naima off at the vet for surgery. She has a fatty deposit growing under her right shoulder that is getting pretty gigantic. Hopefully by the time this publishes, she will be out of surgery and I’ll be getting the phone call that… Read More »Be True
WPC – WEEK 246 – FRIENDS
You are probably wondering why this post didn’t come out at 12:01 PM, on the nose. The reason is simple, my website broke overnight. It didn’t exactly break, but it stopped being able to produce new information. The Photography 139 is build on love, passion, photography, God, and support for… Read More »WPC – WEEK 246 – FRIENDS
#63
I only have one image to share today. It might not seem like much of an image at first glance. It is just a wet gazania. But this is a focus stacked image. It took 63 pictures just to combine all of them into this one image. I repeat, it… Read More »#63

A Spectacle Monopolized
Since Monday’s reveal of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE submissions I have been flooded (virtually) with questions about what Naima listens to when she has her headphones on. To be honest, she doesn’t listen to music on headphones. She finds them to be incredibly uncomfortable, as the pictures below will surely… Read More »A Spectacle Monopolized
