Happy Sunday.
Never, since I stated this blog seven years ago have I gone so long without a post. It has been 12 days since I held a camera in my hand and it has been an unhappy time for me.
That time has passed and the camera is once again active and in my hand. Expect more image from me in the coming days.
Part of the lull has been a creative block and part of it has been a stressful work load. Regardless, it feels good to once again to have the camera to my eye and the shutter banging away.
I hope you are still interested in my work and I beg your forgiveness for my lack of effort over these last few days.
Enjoy your day and be careful!
Happy Tuesday & Happy 4th of July!!
Golf can be an exasperating game for sure. I use to love to play golf and would schedule a lot of my life around golf. However as my skills (and they weren’t that good) began to wane the game became less and less enjoyable for me.
I thoroughly enjoy the comrade of the game and its rich history but the game itself has lost much of its luster for me. Today I would much rather photograph a golf course than play it.
So yesterday I was invited to play golf with three great individuals at a very nice golf course and the weather although quite humid was wonderful for the any outdoor sport. I always have a camera with me but the opportunity to make photographs was limited by the pace of play.
However as I was walking toward this green the sight it offered was too good to pass up so I went back to the golf cart and retrieved my camera for a couple of fast images. This was not the only scene worthy of an image but it was the only one that I really had time to make.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy Monday!
Only one image for you today. This is what I saw last night standing on my patio. Well actually I had to get a different angle on it but it was this dramatic.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy Saturday!
If you like barns, then this is a good post for you. I have three different barns to show today. If you don’t then we’ll see you the next time.
These images are from my barn shoot of last week. They are all owned by my friend Roger. This barn sits about 200 yards away from the 150 year old barn on his farm. We didn’t do any interior shots of it. Just a nice looking farm structure.
This barn sits at his residence in Maquoketa. It’s last few years were used more as a production facility and offices for a specialty business. Now for the most part it just sits empty and looks stately. 🙂
This is the 150 year old barn from my favorite perspective. The front and other side of the barn have been sided to prevent further deterioration. This barn was on the Jackson County barn tour that concluded a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy Sunday!
I have three images to show today. Yesterday afternoon I went roaming through the countryside. Went to some places I haven’t been in several years. The light was not great but the sky was full of big puffy clouds so it was a good trade-off. You can click on the images to make them larger and see more detail.
Found this old windmill minus the fan blades. It was keeping watch over the hay bales.
I found an old road guard rail that had fallen down the side of a hill and I stopped to take some images of it (I didn’t like any of them.) As I was getting back in the car I happened to glance behind me and there was a large buck dear slowly crossing the road. By the time I turned the camera back on and got it to my eye he was gone. 😦
I love old barns and I found this guy sitting next to an abandoned farm home. There were all kinds of no trespassing signs around so I could only photograph it from the road, which really didn’t give me the best angle.
Felt good to be out with a camera again. 🙂
Enjoy your day.
Happy Tuesday!
It seems like it’s been a long time since I took an image with my camera. Really only a few days but the camera felt unfamiliar in my hands.
I saw these bikes on the way to work yesterday and made a mental note to photograph them on the way home. There were some amazing clouds but I couldn’t capture them in the scene.
Enjoy your day!
Happy Friday!
Only one image today. I was downstairs watching the US Open when Jeanne said, “You’ve got to come up and see this sky!” We had just gone through a thunderstorm and the sky was what you see here.
That’s all I got.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy Wednesday!
Saw this beautiful rainbow on the drive home last evening. I had to stop and capture this image even though it was raining.
My favorite windmill with the rainbow.
Enjoy your day.
Happy Friday!
I have four images for you today. Yesterday I took a PTO day and played golf in an event at Thunder Hills Country Club. The group above is me, Dr. Mike Ward, Randy Sirk, and my great friend Mike Stoll. Mike Stoll hosted us at the event, which was 18 holes of golf and a steak dinner.
The company was great, the golf course was in pristine shape, and the weather was perfect. The golf, Ugh, not so much!! If I were to design my perfect weather day it would have been the day we had yesterday. Just enough breeze to keep the bugs at bay. Big billowy clouds, deep blue sky, no humidity, and a temperature of 69 degrees. Perfect (at least for me!)
I love windmills and they even have this great windmill on the course. I couldn’t pass up a chance to photograph it.
Mike Ward and I rode together and every once in a while I’d have to stop and make an image. He commented about my photography and I told him, “Truth be told, I’d rather photograph a golf course than to play golf on it.” Being a golf lover he had trouble understanding that. 🙂
Not counting my game the day was as perfect of a day as a person could want.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
