These are the first flower pictures I took in 2019 in my own yard. There are also a couple of bonus Naima pictures, since she was there too. On further reflection, I would say that some of these flowers are actually from my Mom’s yard. Definitely the tulip.
Here is a collection of pictures I took in my backyard back in August of some flowers, the sky, and of course that most noble of insects, the wasp. Want more wasp pictures? Don’t worry baby bird. I’ll feed you. Eventually.
This is a collection of images that I took on my way home from following the Big Boy. After letting the train roll past us one last time, Teresa and I headed back to Boone after stopping off in Carroll for a delicious meal at Rancho Grande Mexican. Then in… Read More »Who’s a Big Boy – Addendum

It has been since September 20 that I published something from THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. For several months, I have been down to just a couple pages and I had the final page done, but I just couldn’t pull the trigger on that last page. Faced with my deadline of… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 66 & 67
Before I get too much into the end of the 2018 Backlog, I do want to talk about Advent. On Wednesday we finished our Advent candle services for the Youth Group. The proudest moment of that was when Emily actually remember what Advent means! I was pretty pumped, let me… Read More »The 2018 Backlog Endeth
Hitting up that 2018 backlog for a few butterfly pictures I took last September at my Mom’s house. I believe I’m down to 10 folders in the 2018 backlog. I might just get caught up at some point in the not too distant future!
From the 2018 backlog. I took these flower pictures in September of last year. It seems a crime that it took me over 12 months to publish them. However, if I ever get caught up on my backlog, I plan on keeping this blog more of an up to date… Read More »Believe in Tomorrow
Hitting up that 2018 backlog again. This is a collection of flower pictures I took in mid-August of 2018. Mostly sunflowers. A few of God’s other creatures sprinkled in for fun as well.

Going back to the 2018 backlog again. After this post, all of the July pictures have been edited and those that I have deemed worthy have been posted.

FRAMED was a popular enough theme that it crawled into double digit submission territory for the second straight week. I know that conceptually it is one of the harder themes, but we did it people! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 212 – FRAMED
Another day. Another good time to hit up that 2018 backlog. These images were captured in July. They were taken in my back yard. Last year I had a hollyhock renaissance. That didn’t translate to a bumper crop of hollyhocks this year, but I boldly predict a ton of hollyhocks… Read More »Spoken without a Sound
The pictures in the folder 2009-06-14 are flowers from my Grandma’s house. As near as I figure, these pictures have never been published before. Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will include more flower pictures.
I would be remiss if I didn’t start by pointing out today is the anniversary of 9/11. It has been 18 years since terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes and murdered over 3,000 people in senseless acts of violence. The United States went to war shortly thereafter, and we have been at… Read More »Just Put Down “Cause Unknown”
Another Pufferbilly Days has drawn to a close. Seems like a fitting time to share the pictures that my loyal fans selected for me to enter into the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest and furthermore, if any of those pictures received any form of love. Here are my entries: Displayed –… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest Results
The pictures in the folder 2009-05-29 are of assorted flowers that were in my backyard. One thing that I inherited and I’ve tried to not, at the very least, destroy is a wonderful backyard. I have a tendency to let parts of it become overgrown now and again, but I… Read More »2009-05-29
