“Hey Leon.” “Yes, Finn?” “What’s this week’s color?” “I think it must be orange, because those are orange flowers in front of us.” “You must be right, Leon. It couldn’t possibly be green, could it?” “No, it couldn’t possibly be green.” “I hope it’s green next time, Leon.” “Me, too, […]

I’m sitting down to write this without a clear picture of how I want to convey what has been floating around in my thoughts, off-and-on, over the last year or so. I’m just going to start writing and let the revisions happen. There are many, many great ideas discussed in […]
Finn? Yes, Leon? Are you hungry? Are you very hungry? Yes, I am quite hungry! We have some apples. I like apples. And pears. Yum. This episode of the Finn and Leon saga is inspired by Nicolesy’s 52 Photo Challenge topic, “symmetry”.
“What are you looking at, Leon?” asked Finn. “I’m looking at all of those bricks on this wall”, replied Leon. “Hmmm, I wonder why they put all those bricks on the wall.” said Finn. “I wonder that, too, Finn. It seems to me that all of those bricks on the […]
Not in High School, not in College and certainly not before, in between, or (until recently) after, have I ever bothered to study Shakespeare or Shakespeare’s plays. I may have seen two, possibly three productions of his plays, but none of those made any impression on me. I don’t know […]
“OK, is everybody lined up behind me?”, asked Leon. “I’m the leader in this line and everybody should be lined up behind me!”, he added somewhat emphatically. “What are we going to do?”, asked Finn. “We’re going to go for a ride on the slide!”, shouted Leon. He went on […]
“Hey Finn.” “Yes, Leon?” “Did you take the watercolor paints, again?” “No, Leon, I didn’t.” “Are you sure that you didn’t take them, Finn?” “Yes, I’m sure, Leon.” “Well, I think you did, because I overheard someone talking about it and they mentioned that you were the one who took […]
Finn and Leon were walking among the trees when they decided to lay down and rest on the pine cones and pine needles. While they were resting, Finn asked, “Hey Leon, did you hear that silly photographer guy talking about something he called ‘tech sure’?” “Yes, Finn, I did”, replied […]
“Hey, Leon, where did all these rubber ducks come from?” asked Finn. “Dunno, but I think we’ll need an umbrella”, replied Leon. “You mean a duckbrella?”, asked Finn. “Could be, and we still don’t know where all these rubber ducks are coming from”, added Leon. “I think it’s the silly […]
Leon turned to Finn and said, “what do you have to say for yourself, Finn, now that we’re empty and colorless?” “I admit I’m feeling a bit drawn today, Leon”, replied Finn, “and a bit flat.” “Is that all you have to say?”, asked Leon. “Yes, I think so”, replied […]
Finn and Leon were out for a morning stroll when they passed a man with a camera. “Hey, that’s a photographer guy!” yelled Finn. Leon responded with, “It looks like he’s trying to take a picture of the sunrise, let’s hurry and get out of his way!” As they were […]
I came across part of a sentence today that struck me as very interesting. The sentence was part of a description that Thomas Pynchon wrote about a novel published in 1966 by Richard Fariña. Richard Fariña’s book is titled “Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me”. A […]
Lately, my favorite thing to photograph is the artwork that Lisa and our grandkids make. Here is some artwork by Ellie, who is 4. She loves to draw and color: Bonus artwork by Kyson:
The Week 44 52PC topic was “Fog and Steam” It hasn’t been foggy here in Kansas, at least not where I was looking, so I decided to photograph some steam. Well, it was supposed to be a photo of steam, but I was being lazy, so I used smoke, instead. […]
I was introduced to the music of The Beatles in the summer of 1972 when I was 13 years old. That summer, I spent a lot of time at a friend’s house listening to records. Our favorite record to listen to was Abbey Road, especially side 2. Those are good […]
