Dog Food Stalls

I told you that BLACK AND WHITE photography was my passion. So… Buckle up buttercup, this is going to be a long one… Sometimes I forget that smack in the middle of Ames is the most beautiful campus in the world. I should really visit it more often. GO STATE!!!

2009

Time to take another stroll down memory lane. This was the last time I appeared in a calendar. Probably will be the last time I ever appear in a calendar. January February March April May June July August September October November December The last day to order a 2016 Photography… Read More »2009

Kansas Weed

Sharing another picture from a west(ish) Kansas sunset because Laura says that west(ish) Kansas has the best sunsets. When I told people I was going to visit Manhattan, they usually say: “Cool!” Then I say, “No, the one in Kansas.” Then they say, “Oh.” After a long bit of silence… Read More »Kansas Weed

Thanksgiving

All the Bennetts were actually here for Thanksgiving this year, so we had to get a picture! It might be the last chance to get a picture like this for a bit. With Alexis leaving for the Navy. Elainie already in the Navy. Logan getting ready to graduate from Iowa… Read More »Thanksgiving

The Driving Force

Wells have always been a source of fascination for me. But I’m also very glad that I don’t have to drink well water on a regular basis. This well is from my Aunt Linda’s farm. I actually didn’t throw anything into the well. I consider this a sign of maturity.… Read More »The Driving Force

Highway 177

Just south of Manhattan a few miles is a scenic view. On my recent trip to visit Nate and Laura, I stopped at this scenic view and snapped a few photos. Below is one of my favorites. I took this photo on my Saturday in Manhattan. I wish I would… Read More »Highway 177

With the Plastic Eyeballs

Not everybody can be a winner. Like people who get really angry about Participant ribbons. Those people aren’t winners. These pictures are the people-who-get-mad-about-Participant-ribbons of the FOOD theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Submitted with bits of commentary. What I eat for breakfast about every Saturday. Because I like to… Read More »With the Plastic Eyeballs

New Friends

My nephew Brandon recently add a new life into his life and therefore into my family’s life. He drove halfway across the state and picked up Ezra. Last Sunday he brought Ezra over to meet Naima. It was late and it was dark and so normally I wouldn’t post a… Read More »New Friends

A Grandmother Pretends

On the Monday before Halloween the Eastern Star Home’s residents hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. My Mom helps coordinate volunteers from our church to help the residents that need it. Below are a few pictures from that event. Directing Traffic Tamara helping out. Vi helping out. I actually don’t know… Read More »A Grandmother Pretends

Butane in My Veins

Here are a few of the losers that didn’t make the cut for my submission to THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE! To think, I almost gifted that wig (that was a gift from Jen) to Willy. Still might.

Incidental

Here are a few pictures I like that come from New Toy, but don’t fit into any particular narrative. Went to Hilton Madness with Willy and Derrick. Fizer and Frese mixing it up with the young pups. Youth Room Mike, John, and Tim at the Event Formerly Known as the… Read More »Incidental

New Toy

We recently held an auction at the Computer Mine. The one thing in the auction that I really coveted was a blue Canon A4000 IS. I’m not a Canon guy at all. However, I’ve been sans point and shoot for a couple years now and there are times (like mission… Read More »New Toy

Coming Soon…

Actually, not coming soon. They are already there. Recently my sister Teresa came across a collection of theater seats at the Funky Rooster. She was able to negotiate a sweet deal and after borrowing a truck from the Petersons and getting Derrick to help load them and Willy to help… Read More »Coming Soon…
