From the 2018 backlog. I took these flower pictures in September of last year. It seems a crime that it took me over 12 months to publish them. However, if I ever get caught up on my backlog, I plan on keeping this blog more of an up to date… Read More »Believe in Tomorrow

Would you believe that I am almost done with pictures from August of 2018? Well, it is… Read More »A Proud Assertion
More from the 2018 backlog. This collection of pictures was taken at Dickcissel late in the day and are kind of lousy with digital noise, but some of them aren’t too bad. Just gotta keep plugging away.
Going back to the 2018 backlog again. After this post, all of the July pictures have been edited and those that I have deemed worthy have been posted. I probably have about 15 folders of images to go through and figure out to get the 2018 backlog officially hammered out.… Read More »In Earth and Manure

FRAMED was a popular enough theme that it crawled into double digit submission territory for the second straight week. I know that conceptually it is one of the harder themes, but we did it people! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 212 – FRAMED

Another day. Another good time to hit up that 2018 backlog. These images were captured in July. They were taken in my back yard. Last year I had a hollyhock renaissance. That didn’t translate to a bumper crop of hollyhocks this year, but I boldly predict a ton of hollyhocks… Read More »Spoken without a Sound
Back to the 2018 backlog. This is a collection of pictures I took on a day I went down to Ledges to photograph some flooding. Ledges floods so frequently these days that I rarely even bother to go photograph it. In fact, I didn’t check out Ledges flooding at all… Read More »By Ignorant Rulers
The pictures in the folder 2009-06-14 are flowers from my Grandma’s house. As near as I figure, these pictures have never been published before. Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will include more flower pictures.
Now seems like a good time to check-in with my favorite pictures from my August SELFIE PROJECT pictures. It would seem that I had a successful month of August. I met Vice-President Joe Biden. I competed in a barbecue contest at the Iowa State Fair. I also competed in a… Read More »Selfie Project – August
