Today I’m sharing a collection I took over a couple days back in February or Naima and of an icicle. Some people say I don’t take enough pictures of Naima. Naima is not one of those people. She is a dog. +++++++ This your reminder that this week’s THE WEEKLY… Read More »Assemblage
Today I’m sharing a collection of flower pictures I took in my Mom’s yard on April 8. Tulips, daffodils, and Mother’s Day Peony are included in this collection. I have so many flower pictures to share. And so many more to take.
The folders 2010-09-06, 2010-09-11, and 2010-09-13 were all fairly small, so I decided to combine them into one post. Two of the folders include images that were taken for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE, which back then was known as the RANDOM WEEKLY PHOTO EXPERIMENT. The other pictures are of Dawn’s… Read More »2010-09-06, 2010-09-11, and 2010-09-13
I’ve always been a fan of peonies. They have very bold and striking colors, but the real reason why I love them is that the way peonies bloom is that ants eat the outside leaves. Releasing the flower contained inside. About 4 years ago, but maybe 5 and possibly 3,… Read More »Years in the Making
Recently I’ve been working on an organizational project as I prepare to get rid of a bunch of things in Boone’s annual Citywide Cleanup in a couple of weeks. Part of this has been organizing every (almost) picture that I have entered in a photo contest, both physically in a… Read More »My (Sad) Photo Contest History – 1
This post is a collection of some macro (mostly) pictures I took across February. Most are of an icicle, but a couple are of a lilac bud from my lilac bush. I might get into the history of those lilacs at some point, but not today. And of course, a… Read More »Macrocicle
The folder 2010-08-23 is absolutely stuffed to the gills. There are so many images in there I almost considered breaking it up into a couple posts, but decided against it. There are pictures in there from a trip to the Iowa State Fair and pictures of Jen and Derrick when… Read More »2010-08-23
The third new lens I purchased at the beginning of the year was a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art Lens. I had a 50mm macro lens, but I needed a longer macro lens. Here are the first pictures I took with it: I might go into some technical… Read More »Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro Art Lens
The pictures in the folder are from when the Creek formerly known as Squaw flooded Duff Avenue in the August of 2010. I’m not being sarcastic, I just know that they recently changed the name of Squaw Creek, I just have no clue what they changed it to. Ioway maybe?… Read More »2010-08-11
There was a decent amount of submissions for HANDS. Including, what I believe to be the first ever submission by Amy Peterson.

The folders 2010-08-06 & 2010-08-09 are pretty small, so I combined them into one post. Half of them are pictures of a hibiscus. The other half are pictures of butterflies. Then there is one random picture of my feet. On a personal note, I really miss those shoes. Actually I… Read More »2010-08-06 & 2010-08-09

There are a couple of different types of pictures in the folders 2010-07-15 and 2010-07-18. Some are flower pictures and others are my attempts to take pictures of lightning. Have a look: By adding these pictures to the Photography 139 Gallery, I was able to restore the following historic “An… Read More »2010-07-15 & 2010-07-18
There aren’t all that many pictures in the folders 2010-07-07 and 2010-07-12, so I decided to combine them and share them together.

74 straight weeks of double digit submission and we did it before I even got out of bed on Monday morning! LINES seemed to be a popular theme! I mean, who doesn’t like LINES? But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You… Read More »WPC – WEEK 285 – LINES
The folders 2010-06-29, 2010-06-30, & 2010-07-01 Center Street Bridge are fairly small, so I combined them all into one fair sized post. Most of them are pictures of flowers, but a few are pictures I took with Sara at or near the Center Street Bridge in Des Moines. By adding… Read More »2010-06-29, 2010-06-30, & 2010-07-01
This is a clearinghouse post. Grouping together some small collections of photos that might not be large enough to stand on their own. Plus getting multiple folders “finished off” and filed away to their forever homes. These pictures aren’t pandemic related, but they did occur in a pandemic. Like every… Read More »A Pandemic Menagerie
There is a very diverse collection of photos in the folder 2010-06-28. Most are from Shannon’s first attempt to skydive. That idea got shot down (not literally) because it was deemed to windy to do such a thing safely. There are also pictures of a reunion when Bill came to… Read More »2010-06-28
Thought it was beyond time I shared a collection of flower pictures I took back in early October.

Usually you can get a couple of flowers to make it… Read More »Lipton Cup of Zinnia
Most of the pictures in the folder 2010-06-25 are of lilies. Lots of lilies. But also of a deer. Then one of a clothespin.
