Personal Photo Project No. 187


Croutons

This picture of an abandoned sign on the side of I-80 concludes the pictures from Shannon and I’s road trip. Originally there was planned to be a set of images from the Corning Opera House, but I don’t like them at all. I usually don’t run from my failures, but this time I am, going to run, from my failure, as fast and far as I can.

The remainder of the Croutons Series:

Next week’s Personal Photo Project of the Week will involve flowers. Perhaps flowers from the State Fair. No promises.

Instagram: July & August

Time once again to look at some of my favorite Instagram work from the last couple of months.

Of course, if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you have seen all of these before. Just act like you are surprised.


I’m pretty excited by how far I got to expand my photo map in the last two months.

AND…

I can’t wait to see where life takes me in in September and October.

*This pictures was admittedly taken on Day 70, but I liked it so much better than my original lines picture.
**I actually had very little to do with making these ribs. I sprinkled the seasoning on them, but that was about the end of my contributions to the Team Degeneffe Pufferbilly Days Barbecue Competition Team.

Kentucky Mini Vacation – Phone Edition

A few week backs I went to Kentucky with Teresa and Logan to visit Ernie. Here are a few pictures from that trip from the phone:



Tom’s Pancake House and Restaurant


Somewhere I made a great joke about a pancake cooking a pancake, but nobody has enjoyed it, so I will deny you its greatness!


The Browse-A-Bout – Greatest Name Ever?


There was also a great penis joke I made when I posted this to Instagram, but once again, I’ll refrain…


This is what passes for chocolate milk in Kentucky.


The ferry across the Ohio River.


The Garden of the Gods


Buzzard Rock Marina


I actually did!


The Grand Ole Opry


Ernie’s Hat. Ernie has a small head.


Loveless Cafe=Excellence


Antique Archaeology in Nashville was quite the disappontment.

Next week’s Wednesday randomness will be another Instagram dump.
