A picture of Karma, some flower pictures, and a Thomas Merton quote is what I found in the folder named 04-18-07. Looks like deer photos will be the feature in the next walk down my memory lane.

Mmmmmm… Delicious!
I don’t have the best hollyhock patch this year, but the ones I do have, the area insects find to be quite tasty. Leaving designs that I like to photograph.

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 40 – BLUE
I though I would be Johnny-on-the-Spot and guess this out as soon as I got back from Milwaukee, but I spent my weekend being in parades, helping give sermons, raising money through pie auctions, supping with friends and family, going on walks with Naima, going to baby showers, watching about… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 40 – BLUE

Pool Party
My church’s youth group had a going away pool party for Pastor Sarah and Alisa recently. While everybody was partying it up, I snuck off to photograph a couple water lilies in the hosts pond. This is one of them. Just starting to creep out of the water. I’ll consider… Read More »Pool Party
