Ever since the beginning of the pandemic when I started working from home, I haven’t taken as many photos as I was pre-pandemic. Commuting to and from work each day prior to the pandemic gave me many opportunities to see lots of interesting things and sights to photograph. Staying at […]
I started a pin collection several years ago because, well, why not? Lisa had given me a pin when we were first dating, and I eventually got the idea to add other pins. The pin Lisa gave me is the “I’m Sweet” pin, because apparently she thinks that I am […]
On Monday, October 8, 2012, I drove from Salt Lake City, Utah to LeRoy and Piedmont, Wyoming. I traveled along Interstate 80, past Evanston, WY to exit 24. LeRoy is north of the Interstate and Piedmont is south of it. I have fond memories as a child of camping with […]
It wasn’t by design, at least not on my part, but I really like the way it turned out. Yesterday, I was driving my truck to take a house-warming gift to Cory and Tera. My truck has a cassette player, but I had never used it, and Skyler thought that […]
“Hey Leon.” “Yes, Finn?” “What are we doing here in front of these books?” “We seem to be acting like placeholders for something that the photographer guy is waiting for.” “That makes me think that maybe we’re just bookmarks. What could he possibly be waiting for?” “I don’t know, Finn, […]
“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 […]
