WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 173 – ABSTRACT
There were a decent number of submissions for ABSTRACT this week. Several of them came with a question mark attached, “is this ABSTRACT?” I always give the same response to such inquiries.

Post #3252 – 2018 Year in Review
Happy New Year to people who celebrate such things. I like to look at some meaningless statistics every 250 posts and I also look at fairly meaningless year end statistics. Just so happens that I get to combine them today!! Here is both a year in review and a celebration… Read More »Post #3252 – 2018 Year in Review
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 172 – FRIENDS
I have to confess that this is one of the saddest blog posts I’ve ever had the solemn duty to post. It seems that next to nobody out there has any FRIENDS. At least not any FRIENDS that they would be willing photography. Or perhaps the fault lies in me… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 172 – FRIENDS

Naima and Nader
I took Naima to Dickcissel back in May. Nader joined us on that day. Nader joined Willy as the only person to join Naima on our trips to Dickcissel Park. Most people are afraid of the snakes and the mud. Most people are soft: The last time I published pictures… Read More »Naima and Nader

A Man’s Best Friend is his Dog…
I spent a lot of time out at Dickcissel Park with Naima this year. I think it has become her favorite place to go, when she leaves the house. The only thing I can say is that she has yet to accept that a trip there is a substitute for… Read More »A Man’s Best Friend is his Dog…

There are few things in the world I hate more than… Read More »A Photo Journal – Henry Carroll – Page 70-71
Naima Underwater Test
Naima likes to walk in water. Naima doesn’t swim, unless forced. She doesn’t enjoy it. But she loves tromping around in water.
