There aren’t all that many pictures in the folders 2010-07-07 and 2010-07-12, so I decided to combine them and share them together.

I need to start today by wishing Micky a happy birthday. Happy birthday Micky! Every once in awhile I will let people behind the curtain at Photography 139. Very few people and not very often.

There is a very diverse collection of photos in the folder 2010-06-28. Most are from Shannon’s first attempt to skydive. That idea got shot down (not literally) because it was deemed to windy to do such a thing safely. There are also pictures of a reunion when Bill came to… Read More »2010-06-28
Most of the pictures in the folder 2010-06-25 are of lilies. Lots of lilies. But also of a deer. Then one of a clothespin.
