On my recent trip to the “bold” north, I made it a trip to Minnehaha Falls. Dae Hee and I foolishly made our way down a very dangerous set of steps to get near the base of the waterfall. Bethany and Nora wisely stayed in the car: If Dae Hee… Read More »Don’t Know if I’m Elated or Gassy. But I’m Somewhere in that Zone
The world wasn’t ready for these OLD/ELDERLY pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer. Most of these pictures were taken at a Methodist Church. Either in Boone or Stratford. You’re welcome world!
Despite the nicer weather, participation rates for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE haven’t rebounded. Might be time to consider retiring it at the end of this 52 week run.

Another time to hit up the backlog. These pictures I took on May 8: It was these last few photos that lead to the Great Jake Sullivan Failure.
I recently visited my nephew Logan at his internship at KWBG to check out his digs. Took a couple pictures too: It is possible that some of these photos were staged. It is also possible that some of them aren’t. It is Schrodinger’s pictures, only it isn’t.
