On my recent trip to Manhattan I spent some time at my Aunt Linda’s farm. There are many fascinating things deteriorating in her yard. Of course, this is the kind of thing I love to photograph.
Below is one such thing.
There are at least a few more images from this trip coming your way.

PHOTOSHOP
I did some stuff.
There will be more photos from this event, but I wanted to set this photo of Layla off on its own because I like it so much.
I’m not a mentalist, a psychic, or even a psycho, but this is what I think Layla is thinking:
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.

I actually made two trips out to McHose Park to attempt to create my WATER image for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Loyal followers of my Instagram account know what happened during my first effort. Therefore, no reason to bring that up again.
I took more than 1 photo while I was out there, so I thought I would share some of the other contenders for WATER, that fell short one way or another.
I’m sure I won’t have as many FOOD losers. Or maybe I’ll have no food losers. I guess I’ll see how that plays out.
The theme SHADOWS must not have done it for many people. At least there was a new submitter this week. Welcome aboard Shannon!
Perhaps this week’s theme will be more to the liking of more peoples.
This week’s submissions:
Christopher D. Bennett
Angie DeWaard
So it is time to unleash this week’s theme. It is an easy one. I swear!
Water – noun – A colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.
As always, email your submissions to bennett@photography139.com by noon next Monday.
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.
There were a decent amount of submissions this week. Let’s have a look!

These were some other competitors for NIGHT, but they lost.
Losers!
Sunday was my church’s annual block party to kickoff Sunday School. Once again, I manned the PET Obstacle course. Only this year it was more like a PET Area, with a couple of chairs thrown out there.
There were way more people there this year, so it was more than just me and one kid hanging out for two hours. So that was cool.
Some pictures.

This was just a small part of a great weekend that included FNSC, lots of scraping, the Majors Family Reunion, and concluded with a 5 year old’s birthday party. Other than the lack of sleep, it was a pretty great weekend.
And it is like the old saying goes: You can sleep when your house is painted.
Feel like revisiting my Instagram account. It has been a long, long, time.
Obviously, if you follow me on Instagram, like a boss, you’ve already experienced these.
A few of my favorites:
That was fun! We’ll have to do that again sometime!
I thought I would revisit Minnehaha Falls for the day.
I called this post STUPID PEOPLE, not because I think people are stupid, but because I had to Photoshop people out of this picture. Why are they in the park when I want to take a picture?
