I’m starting to work on my endgame for Postcard Series #2. I’d like to do this once a week where I get out and shoot some part of Boone County for the use in the endgame. Most recently I spent a little bit of time in Ledges. These are the… Read More »Series #2 Alpha
A mixture of wildlife and tulips in the folder 04-28-07: The folder for next Saturday doesn’t have much in it. Maybe a couple of tulip photos. We’ll see.
Here are a collection of pathetic losers that didn’t make the snuff for my submission for the FLOWER theme of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: I’m glad we had this time together to bully and mock these photos.

You might not know this about me, but I enjoy spending time in ditches looking for something to photograph. I recently found this flower in a ditch. It is actually hard for me to drive in the country this time of year because the ditches are so beautiful with green… Read More »Ditches Please!
Here are a few daisies from the Iowa Arboretum. I was surprised how spry their daisies still are considering that my daisies went the way of the dodo bird almost a month ago.

A few weeks back, while I was waiting for some people get ready for a photo shoot, I took a couple pictures of my Grandma’s rose bush. This rose bush is one of my favorite plants. A top 5 plant I tell ya! PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL… Read More »Time Killer
I used the late parts of my vacation to try to look at my hometown through the eyes of a tourist. Let’s face it, Boone actually has some really cool unique aspects to it that most people take for granted. One of those things that people take for granted is… Read More »Not from France
A picture of Karma, some flower pictures, and a Thomas Merton quote is what I found in the folder named 04-18-07. Looks like deer photos will be the feature in the next walk down my memory lane.
I have to say that my lilies have been on fleek this year. I just hope I don’t break my arm patting myself on the back. There are a literal ton of lily pictures in the hopper. I hope you like such things. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL… Read More »Hometeam
I don’t have the best hollyhock patch this year, but the ones I do have, the area insects find to be quite tasty. Leaving designs that I like to photograph. Obviously this image might have been touched by Photoshop, but we don’t need to get into all that jazz. PARTICULARS… Read More »Mmmmmm… Delicious!
There weren’t many photos in folder 04-15-07, but there were a couple I liked. The next folder will be 04-18-07. A few tulip photos in there.
My church’s youth group had a going away pool party for Pastor Sarah and Alisa recently. While everybody was partying it up, I snuck off to photograph a couple water lilies in the hosts pond. This is one of them. Just starting to creep out of the water. I’ll consider… Read More »Pool Party

I had a recent trip to Marshalltown to try some pizza with some friends, co-workers, and co-working friends. On the way back Joe begged me to stop at the State Center Rose Garden. I obliged him. It is one of my favorite places to visit every year and I can… Read More »It is the Time Wasted

Before I start rambling about this picture, I should point out that AM Outdoors expert and friend of this here blog Michael Augustin corrected my assertion that yesterday’s blog featured a ground squirrel. When in fact, it was a chipmunk. A pox upon me, my good fellows. Today’s post features… Read More »A Punchable Flower

I actually have been pretty lax about photographing flowers this year. That is partially because the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar will go in a new direction. Partially because I haven’t even planted flowers in my yard this year. Partially because my daffodils didn’t bloom this year. Partially because I missed… Read More »For Russell
