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.

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
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

Probably because there really wasn’t much left by the time Sunday came around. I did spend 3 days… Read More »Pufferbilly Days – 2019
