The 2010 calendar was the last calendar that included a human subject. As I open up the subject matter past flowers for the 2017 calendar, it is possible a human subject might find their way back into the calendar. Until then Jill and Sara are the last humans to grace the calendar’s pages.

This was also the last calendar to feature an image that was heavily Photoshopped.
There were a few other RELIGION pictures I took the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE that didn’t make the cut. Thought I’d share a few of those.
I don’t know if there will be quite so many losers next week.
I knew this week’s submissions would be a little light with the combination of the theme and the holiday. However, participation didn’t take too much of a hit. Hopefully it will rebound next week. That theme is pretty easy, but does require a bit of effort.
This week’s submissions:
Carla Stensland
Trinity Barker
Angie DeWaard
Christopher D. Bennett
Shannon Bardole
Time to reveal next week’s theme:
Don’t know what STILL LIFE is? That’s okay, I have a definition:
STILL LIFE – noun – a representation chiefly of inanimate objects.
No housekeeping notes today. As always, I look forward to seeing all the submissions.
On the Monday before Halloween the Eastern Star Home’s residents hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. My Mom helps coordinate volunteers from our church to help the residents that need it.
Below are a few pictures from that event.
Tamara helping out.

I actually don’t know these 2 ladies, but they wanted their picture taken.
Awesome accordion playing lady.

Jentry… probably thinking about the Illuminati.
The main hallway was insane. You could barely turnaround in there.
Kio
Insanity!

I missed a few of our volunteers in the chaos. I will try to do better next year.
Here are a few pictures I like that come from New Toy, but don’t fit into any particular narrative.

The New Toy has come in handy now and again. I think it is a keeper.
We recently held an auction at the Computer Mine. The one thing in the auction that I really coveted was a blue Canon A4000 IS. I’m not a Canon guy at all. However, I’ve been sans point and shoot for a couple years now and there are times (like mission trips) where a little point and shoot would come in handy. While it isn’t the most powerful camera, I thought if I could get it for $50 bucks (while it retails for $150) I could slum and add a Canon to the arsenal.
I am notoriously tough on point and shoots, so hopefully it will last me a couple years or so.
I thought I would crack it out and document my weekend, to get a feel for it. Below are those pictures.

Seriously! Data migration call 10 minutes before I’m off!

Willy grilling. Naima observing.
Firetub Swan Song… Or is it?
Breakfast with Mom at The Legal Limit. She loves having her picture taken.
Finally getting the studio put back together. Might re-do the 9 Emotions Project.
This is what $150 or so looks like.
Helping paint Teresa’s house.
Yeah. Nice try Cyclones.
Happy birthday Greg!
Worshiping an Awesome God!
Thinking about Fall Project #1.

Monday morning. Back to the grind.
I couldn’t wait for Monday night when I finally got a chance to breathe and have a small bit of free time again.
Sunday was my church’s annual block party to kickoff Sunday School. Once again, I manned the PET Obstacle course. Only this year it was more like a PET Area, with a couple of chairs thrown out there.
There were way more people there this year, so it was more than just me and one kid hanging out for two hours. So that was cool.
Some pictures.

This was just a small part of a great weekend that included FNSC, lots of scraping, the Majors Family Reunion, and concluded with a 5 year old’s birthday party. Other than the lack of sleep, it was a pretty great weekend.
And it is like the old saying goes: You can sleep when your house is painted.
I think this might have been the last year for the PET Obstacle Course. I guess I’ll wait and see.
Dick had surgery 3 days before he appears on this picture. The guy is a trooper.
The last 2 years, my Mom has been in charge of this endeavor.
