The Goodness of God
Today I’m sharing a collection of flower pictures I took back in late June. Daisies. Hollyhocks. Lilies. Oh my! There are probably a couple potential calendar images in this collection.

Digging for God – 2020
A long time ago, I set a dead lotus on fire and photographed it. One of those pictures made it into the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon.

9/11
Today is the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the plane that was ultimately taken down in Pennsylvania. 2,977 people died on that day. On the anniversary, I usually recount my experience on that day. I won’t do that today. I will… Read More »9/11
Radiation of Happiness
This should be Day 4 of my vacation. I don’t have too much planned for today. I’m hoping that this will be a day of recovery after a fairly full and productive Day 3 of my vacation. But you know… the best laid plans of mice and men. Today I’m… Read More »Radiation of Happiness

Town Sign Upgrade

A Slow Glowing Dream
Hard to believe that a week from now, I will be on Day 2 of my vacation. Hopefully I will have knocked off one or two of those vacation goals. 1. I want to visit 5 state parks I have never visited. Including Mines of Spain and Preparation Canyon. 2.… Read More »A Slow Glowing Dream
It’s Hard for Me to Weep When I’m Strong

Am I Your Pride and Joy
I do have some good news. The three collapsed shafts at the Computer Mine, well they aren’t back to being fully functional. One is. One is back to functioning part time.

The Gladdest Thing Under the Sun
Way back in May, Monica searched out my photo services. For probably about 20 years (no joke) to enter the Fine Arts Show at the Iowa State Fair. This year, the year the Fair got cancelled due to mismanaged pandemic, she finally entered. However, she needed an image to send… Read More »The Gladdest Thing Under the Sun
Red Fish, Blue Fish
I meant to publish a post on this subject a week or so ago, but the derecho put those plans on hold. I’ve meant to be more proactive about writing about when I get new equipment, even equipment that is fairly small or seemingly inconsequential to most people. Hopefully this… Read More »Red Fish, Blue Fish
