A young Johnathan Stensland among the photos in the folder 09-09-07: Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will include what I’m sure might have been the wedding of the year in 2007!

The final NATURE stop I made was to Lake Augstin. Here are those pictures: Our run in with a snapping turtle reminds me of a story from my childhood. One day a snapping turtle showed up in the driveway of my first boyhood home. In my mind it was tied… Read More »Then I Wonder How Much I Can Spend
This set of NATURE losers was taken in Jester Park. I’ll be returning to Jester Park soon and spending much more time there at some point in the near future.
This collection of NATURE losers was taken at Ledges. I got off work early on a Friday and headed to Ledges. I thought that I had insect repellent in my trunk, but I was wrong. I forged on anyways. I got absolutely lit up by mosquitoes. It was not a… Read More »Then I Wonder Why She Sleeps with my Friends
I’m going to do this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE losers a little bit differently. I actually went out 3 or 4 times to take NATURE photos. I’m going to break them down into those trips. These are the pictures from the first trip that didn’t have what it takes: These… Read More »When She’s Saying that She Wants Only Me

These pictures didn’t have what it takes to be included with the PURPLE theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: If only these pictures believed in themselves, there is no telling what they might accomplish!
This is your weekly reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is PURPLE! I’m not going to tell you how to take this photo, but I’m to remind you of Alice Walker’s quote on PURPLE in nature: “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE REMINDER – PURPLE

Flooded Ledges dominates the folder called 08-25-07. The next folder consists of lunar eclipse photos.
A couple Saturdays back I loaded up into an automobile with Mom, Teresa, and Logan and we headed to the What Cheer Flea Market. This photo has nothing to do with What Cheer, Iowa. On the way back we went through Pella to check out their world famous tulips. Here… Read More »The Great What Cheer Road Trip Photo No. 1
There are so many images in the folder 08-14-07/Iowa State Fair, that I’m only going to post some of my favorites. Here they be: Next Saturday’s folder will center around a trip to Living History Farms.
The folder called 08-01-07 is kind of all over the place. Next Saturday’s folder involves the Iowa State Fair.
The rest of the TREE images that didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: It just a shame that these pictures don’t believe in themselves.
Most of the folder of 07-25-07 was dedicated with playing with an in-camera special effect: The next folder is kind of all over the place. Insects. Bass players. Flowers. Good stuff.
I decided the time wasn’t right for the world to see the donut photos. There aren’t many pictures in the folder called 07-24-07: Next Saturday’s folder looks like it is all about playing with in camera zoom effects.
