Unfortunately I have been so busy this year that I have only made one trip to so some frog photography. That seems like a minor tragedy that I should remedy sometime soon. Perhaps over the 4th of July weekend.
Here are more frog pictures from the Time’s Fun Series.
Next week’s Personal Photo Project involves a trip to Northwest Greenhouse.
After I got done hanging out with the Augustin turkeys, I spent some quality time with their peacocks. Here are more pictures from the Ugly Feet Series.
Next week’s Personal Photo Project will involve frogs.
I took these pictures of turkeys at Micky’s dad’s place after our turkey “hunt”.
If you are interested in Micky’s world, I would urge you to visit his new re-designed website:
Next week’s Personal Photo Project deals with that most tricky of birds, the peacock.
These pictures are from: Backup/Old My Pictures/Insects

I believe both of these pictures were taken at Ledges when we were photographing Willy’s part of The Beaver Machete Massacre Project. For some reason that makes me nostalgic for having a day off in the middle of the week. That must mean I’m in desperate need of a vacation.

I’m known as the tree-hugging environmental whacko in my department of the Computer Mine. I have this title because I don’t hunt, voted for Obama, and want guns to be regulated. Also, I don’t actively hate our environment. I don’t pay much attention to the derision that comes my way on that front because one of my cognitive shortcuts is that when people use words like treehugger or Obamacare, I instantly assume they aren’t particularly well informed and I needn’t pay attention to what comes out of their mouth. After all, anybody can regurgitate talk radio taking points and catch phrases. It doesn’t mean that they have actually thought about an issue. I still let them speak, but I’m thinking about mayonnaise cake or something like that.
However, on the last day of April I pulled myself out of my very comfortable bed at 4 in the morning and drove to the Computer Mine parking lot to meet Micky to go turkey hunting.
Don’t be concerned. I haven’t had a radical change. I went carrying a camera and a tripod.
Here are some pictures from Micky and I’s early morning excursion.
I apologize for the last picture, but it had to be taken.
The view from the blind.
More Micky
The Decoys
This is as close as a turkey came to us. 75 yards. Too far to shoot at even if it was a “bearded turkey”, which it is not.
The Blind
The Decoys
What a turkey might have seen if it would have come anywhere near us.
Micky and I in the middle of the field after our failed hunt.
Micky carrying the blind out. I carried the decoys in and out.
If you look closely, you can see a deer. This is about as close as we came to any wildlife besides a squirrel.
An old abandoned slide.
Micky on the way out.
The ladder we used to cross the fence to get into the field to hunt turkeys.
The road we drove down to get to the ladder.
At Micky’s parents’ home we saw this goose nesting on top of a muskrat hut. The next day the eggs hatched and the family was gone.
A bullfrog in Lake Augustin.
As we were leaving beautiful Lake Augustin, we came across a tract of land that I can only describe as Deer Auschwitz. I made Micky stop the truck and I took this picture of the inside of a deer’s ribcage because… it was there.
Next Wednesday will be 9 Month Old Pictures of Alice.
Good news Americans! Say that you always wanted a copy of the above picture of Foster Q. Bunny on your wall, but didn’t know how to go about getting it. That dilemma is now over. My online store is now ready to take and fulfill your order!
Even before my Online Store saw the light of day, I was branded a sellout. Strangely, before I was even concerned about being called a sellout, I was warned not to worry about people that labeled me a sellout by Andree. Weird how that worked out.
Well, whether I’ve sold out or not, my Online Store is officially in existence. I’ve only really uploaded pictures that I took from January to April of 2010 thus far, but I am uploading more pictures every day.
You can view the store by following this link:
Or if you are actually on the website, you can click on the STORE link on the top of this page.
You may be asking yourself, what is in the store for purchase. For the most part Prints. Prints of about every imaginable size and shape and finish.
But, there is more. You can also buy merchandise with you favorite Photography 139 images on it. Things like:
But of course, the most important thing is that people can buy prints very easily now. There might also be coupon codes for people who like such things in the future as well!
There were a couple of submissions for FOOD this week. Included in these submissions are several submissions from Sara that clearly violate the one and only one rule of the Random Weekly Photo Experiment. Since this is her first submission, I’m allowing it:

I’ve been down to visit the Random Theme Generator to get a theme for this week. It gave me what I consider to be a pretty good theme.
A look back at last year’s HANDS submissions:
I am hopeful that there will be plenty of submissions next week. After all, almost everybody has hands and everybody knows somebody that has hands. Plus hands do such interesting things!
Here are some more random images from Day 3 and Liberty Island:
Sarah at Benny’s Burritos
We didn’t eat here, but this restaurant is famous for being in When Harry Met Sally.
The Staten Island Ferry
The girl who took this picture was overly impressed with my camera.
Next Wednesday will feature even more random New York City images.
More pictures from the Self Evident Truth Series:
Next week’s Personal Photo Project of the Week will return to the 9 Emotions Project. I will be publishing Shannon and Willy’s interpretations of the 9 Emotions.
Jesse and I knew that we weren’t spending a ton of time in New York and we were given a few suggestions by Sarah and Steph on places to visit. We both decided to choose one place we had to go see.
Jesse chose Central Park.
I chose the Statue of Liberty. In the 3.5 days that we were in New York City, I took approximately 800 photos. Close to half of those were on our Statue of Liberty adventure.
So here are more pictures from the Self Evident Truth Series:
There will be more pictures from the Self Evident Truth Series tomorrow.
