One of the 3 debates that bores me the most. Is water wet? Is a hot dog a sandwich? Is DIE HARD a Christmas movie? I actually almost dozed off just typing the words. However, I hope these pictures that were alternates for the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme WET… Read More »Is Water Wet?
Clearing out some of the 2025 backlog. These images were taken in November of last year, but they never really quite fit into earlier “An Artist’s Notebook” posts. It is a collection of fisheye lenses taken of Bokeh and some rushed images of the Northern Lights. Not the pizza place.… Read More »Aroura Bokehalis
This is the final collection of images from Day 2 of my trip to Ireland with Andy. Last Friday we left off with pictures of people crossing the Carrick-a-Rede Bridge.

Time to share the cell phone pictures from Day 3 of the Route 66 Road Trip – Phase 1. We started the morning at the Meramec Caverns Campground. It had rained all night. In the morning it was nice and cool. We had breakfast at the Meramec Caverns diner as… Read More »The Mother Road: Day 3 Snaps
Last Friday when we left off we had just crossed the Carrick-a-Rede bridge over to Carrick-a-Rede Island. Here are the pictures: Ireland is just so amazingly beautiful!

Our last stop up on the North Atlantic Coast before heading for our hotel was Carrick-a-Rede. This is a place that is most famous for a rope bridge that is suspended over the Atlantic Ocean.

Time to clean out a bit more of the backlog. This is a collection of pictures from late June to early July. These pictures I liked, but they never quite fit into any previous entries.

Last Friday we left off at the beginning of the actual Giant’s Causeway. It dawns on me that maybe people don’t know the story about the Giant’s Causeway. Why is a collection of the most unique looking rocks extending into the Atlantic Ocean called the Giant’s Causeway? Don’t worry I’ll… Read More »Ireland Day 2: More Giant’s Causeway
Last Friday we left off with Andy and I arriving at the Giant’s Causeway and working our way down the trail to the Giant’s Causeway.

Back in November I did a little bit of a loop around some central Iowa parks looking for animals to photograph for the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme ANIMALS. I took Bokeh to the dog park.

You’re what? You’re married. Does it surprise you? Fuck’s sake. Yeah. When? Two years ago, when I find out I’m pregnant with Ivonka. (SIGHS) So where is he? He’s back in Czech Republic. It’s over now and, you know, I come here on my own. (SIGHS) Man. You all right?… Read More »Noor Ho Tebbe
Last year the 3rd Annual Jay Janson Miniature Golf Invitational atrophied a bit. It was up to 4 competitors in 2024. But in 2025 it was down to just me and Jay. Which was about what it should have been. We went to some minigolf course that wasn’t even a… Read More »Jay Janson Invitational – 2025
