There are countless Beatles songs that people call their favorite, but for me, it’s always been Here Comes The Sun. My connection to it goes back to when I was thirteen, spending weekends at my friend David’s house. David usually woke up before me, and he had a ritual: he’d put […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I bought this flag and flagpole from Colonial Flag, in Sandy, Utah. I really like it because the top half of the pole where the flag is attached rotates so that the flag doesn’t get tangled up when the wind blows. The flagpole I had before didn’t have that cool […]
For week 2 of Nicolesy’s Mighty Networks photography community, the 52 Photo Challenge theme is “Silhouette”. I was driving to pick up my granddaughter and saw these trees silhouetted against the sky; so I just had to stop and take a picture, or two, or three. The first photo in […]
I joined an online photography group last year on the Mighty Networks social platform. The group is sponsored by Nicole S. Young, also known as “Nicolesy” and this year on Mighty Networks, Nicolesy is sponsoring a photo challenge that she’s calling, the “52 Photo Challenge”, or “52 PC”. Basically, each […]
I was able to get a walk in after the rain stopped and before it started again. When it did start again, there was a lot of lightning. I thought about what it would be like to get hit by lightning; but was very glad that I didn’t find out. […]
Friday was Papa Ralph’s birthday. He would have been 84 years old. Hippy bird day, Papa Ralph! I was able to capture a sunrise for his birthday (the one on the left) and then another sunrise this morning.
Another view of a sunrise from the northeast window of our home. I think this is going to be a common perspective
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 was walking down main street, minding my own business when this scene grabbed my attention and asked me to capture it with my camera; so I did. And here is why I was there at that place at that point in time: A few years ago, I earned my […]
Since moving to South Jordan, I haven’t taken as many photos of sunrises or sunsets. The reason is that our view from our townhome of the east mountains and the west mountains is blocked by the other townhomes around us. In our old home, I could see the sunrise or […]
