Really… Read More »Chewed Up and Spit Out and Booed Off Stage
WPC – WEEK 238 – GOVERNMENT
As we get deeper and deeper into quarantine, I think that there is a chance that participation rates will decline. However, this week, we did manage to make it all the way to 27 straight weeks of double digit submissions! WooHoo! But you didn’t come here to listen to me… Read More »WPC – WEEK 238 – GOVERNMENT

The Numbing Sensation of Everything
I took several pictures of my sad, pathetic, battered, old trombone. These are the ones that didn’t make the big cut for the big show on Monday. That poor trombone should probably go in the trash, but I worry that the trash man wouldn’t even accept it. +++++++ This is… Read More »The Numbing Sensation of Everything
Yesterday is Gone Now
People have actually asked me what I have been listening to while I have been working from home. I just finished off Day 9 from work from home and my listening choices have reflected a little bit what they are when I work at the office. Now I can’t listen… Read More »Yesterday is Gone Now

Feel Like Whistling
“If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.” — Audra Foveo On Monday I took my first flower pictures of the year! Huzzah! I’m sure there are plenty more pictures of flowers… Read More »Feel Like Whistling
Piebald
Another post hitting up the 2019 backlog. This post is a collection of a few different photo outings, but perhaps none of them had enough pictures to have their own post. Some pictures are flowers from my Grandma’s house. Then there are some pictures from the Youth Group Pool Party.… Read More »Piebald
Multifarious
Hitting up the 2019 backlog with a collection of pictures I took on the same day as when I took Taylan’s Senior pictures. Some are of flowers. Some are of Naima. Some are of Logan and Mom leaving one of the worst restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. Still a long… Read More »Multifarious
Fly Iowa Takes Manhattan
Time for the 8th thrilling chapter of pictures from Fly Iowa. Here is one lesson want to give everybody from these pictures. Clean your sensor. Particularly if you are going to be taking, say 1200 pictures, with most of them against a blue background. Dust spots really show up against… Read More »Fly Iowa Takes Manhattan
WPC – WEEK 237 – MUSIC
Wow! 26 straight weeks of double digits! I’m so impressed! But you didn’t come her to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates.

2009-09-27
The pictures from the folder 2009-09-27 come from a Saturday when I went down to Des Moines to watch Jen compete in the Des Moines Regatta and watched Iowa State beat Army in football. All the pageantry that comes with Army coming to your stadium is pretty amazing. Iowa State… Read More »2009-09-27
Youth Group Christmas Concert
5 days of work from home in the book. Here is my strange positive from the day. I get to do a lot more self care. Let me explain. I have to be at work at 7 AM. Which means if I shower in the morning I have to hit… Read More »Youth Group Christmas Concert
White Anglo Saxon Protestant
You know, I thought that the hatred that some of the men I know, the ones that suffer from toxic masculinity, have for flower pictures was borderline obscene. That was I encountered the irrational hatred of my wasp photography. They are fascinating, beautiful creatures. Learn to love them. Unless you’re… Read More »White Anglo Saxon Protestant
Fly Iowa: The New Blood
Day 4 of working from home in the books. Another positive about working from home that I’ve discovered is the extra sleep. I didn’t think I would sleep in, but it turns out, I sleep in about an extra 45 minutes. The weird part is that Naima also sleeps in… Read More »Fly Iowa: The New Blood
Pufferbilly Days – 2019
I didn’t take a ton of pictures at Pufferbilly Days last year. Probably because there wasn’t a petting zoo. Probably because I didn’t really make more than an appearance at the parade. Probably because there really wasn’t much left by the time Sunday came around. I did spend 3 days… Read More »Pufferbilly Days – 2019
I Always Credit My Enemy
Day 3 of working from home. I thought I was going to talk about how a positive of working from home was how soft my feet are becoming. But I’ll cover that at a later date. Today’s positive about working from home is that Naima has actually started to hang… Read More »I Always Credit My Enemy
