Favorite Photos – April 2019
April was a great month. Spring made itself felt. It was a nice change after the misery that was March. I found myself outside, riding my bike, enjoying the nice weather, looking at flowers, and creating lots of stuff. This squirrel above had raided our bird feeder but I didn’t care because it gave me […]
Favorite Photos – March 2019
I may have taken a record low number of pictures for March. Not at all in keeping with my picture a day goal for this year. But I’ve been enjoying these monthly photo posts I’ve started just because they give such a good wrap up for the month. March was overall not the best month. […]

Favorite Photos- February 2019
I’ve had these photos picked out for weeks, but never got around to posting them. I still wanted to get them up because when I look back later, photos from a certain time bring back so much. It’s funny how photos that seem to be of some every day, boring thing one day become reminders […]
Making my own pinhole camera
When I was a kid, I remember making a pinhole camera out of an oatmeal canister. The ‘film’ was half a sheet of photo paper- torn, not cut and my picture was of a tractor. So when making pinhole cameras was mentioned at the recent photography class I took at Quelab, oatmeal came to mind. […]
Favorite January photos
One of my goals for the year was to take at least two pictures every day- one with B and one without. I felt so bummed out about my new camera not working that I just didn’t have the excitement for it. Fortunately, the camera was still under warranty, so I mailed it in to […]
2019 – Picture a day challenge
Except for a few habits and things that I have to do most every week like work, I’ve decided to mostly focus on monthly goals for 2019. One of my exceptions to this is a goal to take at least two pictures every day: one of B and one without B. This goal is not […]
Making my own canvas prints from start to finish
About two years ago, I ordered a series of canvas prints from a place online. It felt like however they made them must have involved a bit of magic. How do they frame them all nice and how do they get the photo on the canvas anyway? I didn’t really think over much about the […]
Ozzy Osbourne – concert pics and thoughts on the new camera
My 13 year-old nephew J really wanted to go see Ozzy Osbourne. He likes to listen to the rock station on the radio and has been talking about the Ozzy concert for months. I felt like it would be a great experience for him to go, so I bought S, J and I tickets. I’m […]
A few pictures from a short hike in the woods
Today, I had plans to go out hiking with baby B this afternoon. But it felt hot and sunny when we walked up the street to the mailbox, so I didn’t feel like hiking. OK, it was probably only 80 degrees out and I probably should have just gone. Since I didn’t go this afternoon, […]
