Hard to believe that a week from now, I will be on Day 2 of my vacation. Hopefully I will have knocked off one or two of those vacation goals. 1. I want to visit 5 state parks I have never visited. Including Mines of Spain and Preparation Canyon. 2.… Read More »A Slow Glowing Dream
Yes, another collection of flower pictures. Tomorrow, I’ll give you a break from flowers. A respite, if you will, but today is more flowers. Sunflowers. Moonflower. Hollyhocks! These pictures were taken in early July. Mostly in my yard.
I do have some good news. The three collapsed shafts at the Computer Mine, well they aren’t back to being fully functional. One is. One is back to functioning part time. No word on when the other one will be repaired. But the Computer Mine is close enough to capacity… Read More »Am I Your Pride and Joy

Way back in May, Monica searched out my photo services. For probably about 20 years (no joke) to enter the Fine Arts Show at the Iowa State Fair. This year, the year the Fair got cancelled due to mismanaged pandemic, she finally entered. However, she needed an image to send… Read More »The Gladdest Thing Under the Sun

After over 48 hours, I have power back! I’m still standing. Better than I ever did. Looking like a true survivor. Feeling like a little kid. I’m still standing after all this time.

Was torn on whether or not I would continue Sunday posts. I didn’t have one last week, but it wasn’t because of having a lack of photos to share. It was mostly laziness. I almost didn’t post anything today, but I figured I better since I literally accomplished nothing this… Read More »4 Pack
Today’s post consists of pictures I took wandering around my yard on the 5th of July. Probably looking for fireworks shells that may have fallen into my yard from what seemed like, every person in 10 block radius shooting off fireworks the night before. So, more flower pictures: I only… Read More »Always, and Always
I would say that 2020 wasn’t a great year for you standard daisy. I didn’t have any at all this year. However, my Mom had a fair amount of them, so I was able to get a few pictures of them in early June. I have been re-organizing my flower… Read More »Girl in the Blue Skirt – 2020

Today is a collection of pictures I took back in the good old days, when it used to rain in Boone. Back before the drought. Or I sprayed these things down with a water bottle. That is a lot of wet flowers.
