This little group of coneflowers, or echinacea, stand in the late day sun out on the east side of the condo. I love all the flowers that Nancy has planted and cares for in the yard. Their colors brighten the landscape and attract butterflies and bees and they give me something to make pictures of.…

This is documentary photography that I attempt to make into an artsy image. We had a fair amount of snowfall that day at the condo and in a rare showing of motivation I actually shoveled some of it. I love the look of snow with the light sparkling on the surface. I think my footprints…

Does Halloween come early this year? This picture of the front of the condo decorated for Halloween was taken ten years ago and I like it so thought I’d give it a fresh pass through the editor and post it up here today. I like my scenes to be simple. Contain no more than three…

Remember when we stayed in one of the Abe Martin cabins down in Brown County park? I do remember that time. That was nice right? It was during covid. Yeah, was the first time we’d gone anywhere for a long time it seemed like. The dining room was open and they were serving meals so…

This crew is here, spending the day at the condo today. They’re a year older than in this picture from last year but really no change other than that. School is going to start up again at the end of the month so it’s time to enjoy this summer break and all the freedom from…

I take a picture of every fire that we burn here at the condo. We create brush piles with tree branches and such that falls down or needs cut up throughout the year and then do a safe controlled burn to turn it into ash. I took this picture with my phone. It looks like…

Layers of light in leaves. This is same subject taken from same location as the picture from two days ago, but this was taken with the iPhone 12 and the other image was made with the Fujifilm X-T3. The phone picture contains much less data but I don’t notice when viewed at this size.
