This is a sunrise as seen through the tall window on the Northeast side of our house. Since the Covid-19 Pandemic hit, I have not spent as much time outside, so I don’t see as many sunrises and other things, like fire hydrants, than I used to. I happened to […]
I had the good fortune of spending Saturday with two of my four beautiful Sisters and one of my amazing Nephews. We walked around City Creek and a few other places and these are some of the things I saw.
We got the chance to visit our son and his family in Las Vegas. I wish we would have remembered to get a picture of all these people and my Nephew and his Family, too; but alas, we did not. The Family all together on the last night of Papa […]
A quote from Kurt Vonnegut: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play […]
I subscribe to an email list from a guy named Philip Shepherd. I have attended one of his workshops and I have read one of his books. I appreciate his unique approach to life and the way he shares that approach with others. Here is a link to his latest […]
Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees and resting on the ground where they’re getting all wet from the storms. As a good friend of ours once said, “there is beauty in death”

Lisa and I attended a neighborhood get-together last night. We had a good time getting to know some of our neighbors, all of whom we had never met before. Thank you Varbles for putting it together! While we were there, I was able to capture a few photos of two […]
I made myself a cup of coffee this morning with heavy cream in it. Which isn’t all that unusual for me; ever since I started the ketogenic diet, I’ve added heavy cream to my coffee as another source of fat. Prior to doing keto, I preferred my coffee black. I […]
My Uncle, Lark Flanigan, passed away a few weeks ago, and although I didn’t spend a great deal of time with him, the time I did spend with him was very memorable. I have put together this small collection of photos that I have taken of Lark at a few […]
My Great Grandfather, William W. Flanigan, was one of the first known people to hike the Zion Narrows. And according to an article on the Iron County Today website, written by Jay M. Jones, his first hike through the Narrows was on June 30, 1900. I have had the opportunity […]
I wouldn’t say that we’re best friends. At best, we’re acquaintances with some shared background and similar tastes in music; for example, Kevin Jones and I both went to High School in Cedar City, graduating the same year, and we both love The Beatles. And thanks to the reunion that […]
