There weren’t actually a ton of pictures in either the folder 2010-06-14 or 2010-06-17, so I went ahead an combined them.

A few months back, I took a dead zinnia down to my basement, lit it and then lit it up. I believe Jesse and Anders were standing by as potential firefighters. Even though, they didn’t understand why I was starting even the smallest fire, inside my house. Here are the… Read More »Light it Up!
There were a literal ton of images in the folder 2010-06-05. Nearly 700. So adding the pictures that belonged in the gallery to the gallery, was no small feat. Now, don’t worry, I’m not going to post all of those images. It would be well over 100. That being said,… Read More »2010-06-05 Part 2

Happy Christmas Eve everybody! This is always my favorite worship service of the year. However, it is just one of the many things taken away by a horribly mismanaged pandemic.

Here is a collection of pictures I took at Dickcissel back in early September. Mostly of Naima, but one wildflower picture. Naima sure enjoys her trips to Dickcissel.
Just a quick little collection of pictures from here and there to clean up some small folders that hadn’t been curated, so they can be put to bed and the robocopy script ran upon their heads. There are some larger photo shoots I really need to start tackling. Can’t put… Read More »Ivor the Engine Driver
