I just want to start by congratulating Joe Biden on winning the election to become the next President of the United States of America! Back when I was on President Quest 2020, my search for who would be the next President of the United States, I did go see Joe… Read More »Spread the Faith
The pictures from the folder 2010-05-02 are from the day that Alexis and my Mom came over and planted some flowers at my house. Mostly around my light post. A flowerbed that I am going to expand, maybe considerably, in 2021. By adding these pictures to the Photography 139 Gallery,… Read More »2010-05-02
Back in September, I took some supermacro images while I was expereminting with bellows. I need to get back to that. Macro photography is a good winter photo subject. Not that I’m ready to give up the out of doors yet, or at all, but you know what I’m saying.… Read More »Macrolicious
Today’s collection is a series of macro photos I took of a grasshopper hanging out by my back patio. I took this series of pictures back in August. Looking at these pictures I think has triggered the earliest I’ve ever missed warm weather. Even though the temperature yesterday was fairly… Read More »He Sure is a Good Friend
I took these pictures on what was surely a beautiful July day. I was beginning to work on a photo project where I freeze a flower in a block of ice. I still really haven’t got one I’m looking for exactly, but this was the beginning of the dream. A… Read More »Ice Ice Daisy
Whew! This is a big one. Just by adding these pictures to the SmugMug Gallery from the folder 2010-04-29, I was able to fix 5 “An Artist’s Notebook” posts. I believe I added pictures to 14 different photo albums. The pictures in this folder are taken from over several days… Read More »2010-04-29
Here is a collection of flower pictures that I took back in July. I could see one of these making the 2021 Photography 139 Calendar. I actually had a request of sorts on a picture to put in the calendar. First time that has happened in quite some time. The… Read More »Flower Deeds. Done Dirt Cheap.
I should start by pointing out that I jacked up Kalista’s submission yesterday for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. This is what it was: Kalista Howard It came in after the 11 AM deadline and in my haste to get the picture posted before the 12:01 autopublish, I didn’t double check… Read More »It’s Been a Long Time Coming
The pictures in the folders 2010-04-22, 2010-04-24, & 2010-04-25 are mostly interconnected. The grand majority of the pictures were take on the first day I took of vacation back in 2010. A ton of them are tulip picture. But there are also some frog pictures. Flowertography and frogtography in one… Read More »2010-04-22, 2010-04-24, & 2010-04-25
Today is a collection of small folders with a just a couple images here and there, that I just wanted to get cleaned up and out of my organizational workflow. Feels good to get some of those cobwebs cleared out.
Today I’d like to share a collection of flower pictures I took in late June. Still plenty of flower pictures left to curate.
Today I want to share the balance of the images from the sunflower field at Badger Creek Recreation Area near Van Meter. I’ll definitely have to try to get back there next year. Could be an annual trip. Like my trips to State Center and Pella. At least they are… Read More »Painted Without Instruction – 2020 – Beta
Here is a collection of flower pictures I took with a flash ring back in late July. Lilies. Hollyhocks. Moonflowers. Oh my! I think I’ve finally started to put a dent into all the flower pictures I’ve taken during the pandemic. Maybe not a big dent, but you can definitely… Read More »Who You Are to Me
Back in August I started experimenting with bellows to take macro images. Here is a handful (and by handful, I mean a handful if you are the man who killed Inigo Montoya’s father) of images from the fist trial run. These pictures are only the slightest cropped to remove a… Read More »SupercalifragilisticMACROlidocious
The inspiration for today’s picture collection was beautiful flowers. The inspiration for today’s “An Artist’s Notebook” journal title is from a for King & Country song entitled “Together”. Think we are all probably looking for a little hope after the sh!tshow that was the Presidential Debate on Tuesday. This is… Read More »If You’re Looking for Hope
Back in late July, it was all the rage to go to the sunflower field at Badger Creek Recreation Area and post photos. So, one Saturday morning, Teresa, Mom, and I loaded up into the car and drove down there. I didn’t post any photos on social media, but I… Read More »Painted without Instruction – 2020 – Alpha
This is a collection of flower pictures I took in late July. Most with a flash ring. The ones that aren’t were taken at Jester Park. Just a reminder that moonflowers are my favorite flowers.
In early August I went on a small road trip with my Mom. The end goal was to see some buffalo at the Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge. However, on the way there, we made a stop at the rose garden in State Center. Early August has the potential to be… Read More »Sorrow and Gladness – 2020
Time for another collection of flower pictures that I took in June. Just so many flower pictures. So many!
Today I’m sharing a collection of flower pictures I took back in late June. Daisies. Hollyhocks. Lilies. Oh my! There are probably a couple potential calendar images in this collection. Depends on how flower heavy I go with the 2021 calendar. One thing the pandemic did do, was cause me… Read More »The Goodness of God
Today I’m sharing a collection of pictures I took around my Mom’s flower gardens back in June. I’ve taken so many flower pictures this year. I’m not even mad about it.
