13!! Lucky number 13! 13 straight weeks of double digit submissions. With the holiday season, it might be rough getting to 14 straight weeks and I will be in Kentucky next Monday.

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

This is a collection of pictures I took in February with my original drone. I’m not it wouldn’t be only a few weeks later when that drone would meet its demise, but that is okay. Learning experience. Those pictures were taken at the Jay Carlson Wildlife Area, which was the… Read More »Rodan138
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
There are a metric buttload of pictures in the folder 2009-07-23. Strangely, most of them were actually taken in December of 2008. I’m not entirely sure what was going on there. I can just state that my organizational system back then wasn’t rock solid like it is now. Mostly because… Read More »2009-07-23
Here is another post from the 2018 backlog. These are mostly pictures of Naima. I think they might have been alternates for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme the week they were taken. I’m not entirely sure and I’m not up to that level of soul searching and research. There is… Read More »Dogface
Hitting up the 2018 backlog again. Which is closing in on being finished! These pictures are once again from Naima’s favorite hangout, Dickcissel Park. I have had a few people ask me where Dickcissel Park is because while it is near some very busy roads, it is seemingly a forgotten… Read More »Bigger than Peanut Butter
First of all, Happy Halloween! After a 1 year hiatus, I’ll be able to handout candy to trick-or-treaters. Which also means, I will be able to replenish the candy bar selection in the Union Street Theater. It has gotten pretty bad, since I didn’t buy any candy last year. I… Read More »Celestial Dome
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. Would you believe that I am almost done with pictures from August of 2018? Well, it is… Read More »A Proud Assertion
More from the 2018 backlog. This collection of pictures was taken at Dickcissel late in the day and are kind of lousy with digital noise, but some of them aren’t too bad. Just gotta keep plugging away.
Hitting up the 2018 backlog again. This is a collection of photos I took while I was playing with the panorama setting on the trusty old 77ii. Most of them were taken out a Dickcissel Park. This was a trip with Naima that involved her running off some pheasants. I… Read More »Subtly Dissolves
Better strap it on. This post is going to be a LONG one, covering a ton of diverse ground! There are a ton of pictures in the folder known as 2009-06-22. I considered breaking this into multiple posts, but then I decided, “Nah, bro. We got this.” Thee are night… Read More »2009-06-22
Back to the 2018 backlog. This is a collection of pictures I took on a day I went down to Ledges to photograph some flooding. Ledges floods so frequently these days that I rarely even bother to go photograph it. In fact, I didn’t check out Ledges flooding at all… Read More »By Ignorant Rulers
Now seems like a good time to check-in with my favorite pictures from my August SELFIE PROJECT pictures. It would seem that I had a successful month of August. I met Vice-President Joe Biden.
