This is a clearinghouse post. Grouping together some small collections of photos that might not be large enough to stand on their own. Plus getting multiple folders “finished off” and filed away to their forever homes. These pictures aren’t pandemic related, but they did occur in a pandemic. Like every… Read More »A Pandemic Menagerie

When I went out to harvest the town signs of Carroll County and Crawford County, I did both counties in one swoop. I didn’t actually need many signs from either county, so I was about to pick up most of them going south through both counties along 141 and then… Read More »Carroll County and Crawford County Auxiliary Images
Well, we did it! Andy said it couldn’t be done, but we hit double digits with WIND like it ain’t no thing, but a chicken wing on a string. A phrase, that while I enjoy typing, don’t understand in the slightest. 72 weeks in a row of double digit submissions!… Read More »WPC – WEEK 283 – WIND

There is a very diverse collection of photos in the folder 2010-06-28. Most are from Shannon’s first attempt to skydive. That idea got shot down (not literally) because it was deemed to windy to do such a thing safely. There are also pictures of a reunion when Bill came to… Read More »2010-06-28

Back in September, I strapped the Sony RX0 II to the side view mirror of the Camry. Loaded Naima into the car and drove down the canyon road at Ledges taking time-lapse images. Here are a few of them: I’m not sure what happened here, but I absolutely love the… Read More »Time Lapsed
I have to confess, I had my doubts about USE OF SPACE. It is a little more technical theme and the technical themes scare many people away. But we did it! 71 weeks in a row of double digits! But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all… Read More »WPC – WEEK 282 – USE OF SPACE
Normally I’ve been sharing family portrait type pictures on Sunday, but I wasn’t all that productive this weekend. I don’t know if it was because I’m not sure it got over -1 all weekend. Or I was just having a lazy weekend. But I never go into my mode. So… Read More »Welcome to Boone
Most of the pictures in the folder 2010-06-25 are of lilies. Lots of lilies. But also of a deer. Then one of a clothespin.

There probably is, but I’ll save that until I complete all the… Read More »Postcard Recreation Project – Downtown Boone

This is the final collection of pictures from when I went to Manhattan to take pictures of the triplets near their second birthday. Chaos!
