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 […]
I took one of the photos I captured of apples while I was at my sister Stacia’s house a few weeks ago and added a few overlays to satisfy week 41’s topic “Overlay”. And for week 42, the topic was “Details”. The instructions for this topic included this, “When looking […]
I had some fun this past week capturing some cool colors in October. And the photos of the colorful leaves satisfies week 43’s topic of “Season” in the 52 Photo Challenge. These first two photos were taken just a few days apart. The first one was taken in the evening […]
Lisa was putting things in little plastic boxes to help Ellie learn the sounds of the letters. She put things that start with “A” in one box, and on through the entire alphabet; each letter with its own box. She found a lot of the items she wanted at craft […]
The theme for week 38 of the 52 Photo Challenge was “Face”. This is the first face photo I took for the challenge. I couldn’t resist submitting a photo of something other than a human or animal face. As part of this theme, I learned that the tendency to see […]
It’s been a busy month and I’ve taken quite a few photos since the Kansas City Great Balloon Glow. For example, I was playing a round of disc golf with Cory at Prairie Center Park and I saw this tree. It was backlit by the sun and one of the […]
I attended Kansas City’s second annual Great Balloon Glow at the National World War I Museum and Memorial on Saturday, August 20, 2022. There were a lot of people there and a few balloons, too. But definitely more people than balloons.
The last three topics for Nicolesy’s 52 Photo Challenge are week 27 “Starburst”, week 29 “Macro” and week 31 “Big Sky”. Actually, there was a fourth topic that I didn’t actually take a photo for, and that one is week 30 “Backlight”. I was traveling to Salt Lake City during […]
Skyler and Shaylie’s Great Dane, Freya, passed away today. Here are a few photos I have taken of this gentle giant and wonderful family friend.
Cory, Kyson, Ellie and I drove to Keokuk, Iowa, Burlington, Iowa, Nauvoo, Illinois and Carthage, Illinois where we got to spend time with Scott and Mia. Scott and Mia are in the Nauvoo Bagpipe Band. Fun times!
The topics in the Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge for the last weeks 26 and 27 were: “Think in Threes” and “Starburst”. These are the photos that I took for these two topics; although one of these photos may have been taken before the topics were announced 🙂
Here’s another post that combines two weeks-worth of Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topics: week 24: Reflection and week 25: Contrasting Color.
This post has photos from two different Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topics for week 22 and 23: Food and Abstract. “Lisa’s abstract art” was from a project that Lisa was doing in preparation of doing an Eric Carle-inspired art project. Ellie and I started the white board drawing with blue […]
The Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topic for week 18 was “water”. I happened to be looking out the window that overlooks our neighbor’s back yard and noticed their tree through the rain-streaked glass, so I grabbed my camera and captured it, being sure to focus on the raindrops and not […]
