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.

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.

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
