Let me start by saying this is NOT a sponsored post. I recently finished a bag of Blackbeard’s Delight from Black Rifle Coffee Company. This brand of coffee was one of my dad’s favorites. After he passed away, I had several bags to bring home, and a few of us cleaned out his homestead. We keep …
One of my favorite movies is the cult classic The Blues Brothers, which is set in one of my favorite cities, Chicago. The movie was released in 1980 and wasn’t a huge blockbuster hit, even with the fame of comedic icons Dan Aykroyd (Elwood) and John Belushi (Jake). Not to mention the number of other …
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I will be the first to admit that things with the blog dropped off in 2024 and, at times, became a little bit of an afterthought as the day job and life took most of my attention. Looking back, I failed to plan my year photographically, so …
Laura and I are both happy Jeep owners. So, we want to take a moment to wish our favorite vehicle brand a very happy 83rd birthday. We hope that we are still both good-looking and capable when we get to be that age!!!
More than 11 years ago, I lost my mom to cancer. There have been many things that have happened in my life during those years that I wish I could share with her or seek her advice about. I took it for granted that she would be around to talk with…even if I wasn’t the …

Much to my surprise, I discovered it was a rabbit nest and there were three young bunnies hiding amongst the grass clippings and …

I was still in elementary school when Space Transportation System-1 (STS-1)—better known as the space shuttle Columbia—lifted off from Kennedy Space Center’s launch pad LC-39A, ushering in a return to manned spaceflight for the United States since the Apollo program ended in December 1972 (less than a year before I …
We live close to a military base, so it’s not uncommon for us to hear (and often see) jets and helicopters flying overhead during the day and night. I’ve always enjoyed and been fascinated by aircraft. I volunteered for two years in high school, working at an air show. I did everything from sinking fenceposts …
I went out to the inaugural event of the Palmetto Shutterbugs photo group in town this morning. It is led by Chris, a fellow former photojournalist. We met at the downtown library location for a short presentation before heading out as a group on a photo walk. A dozen photographers of all skill levels using …
I couldn’t resist snapping this photo of Ellie chilling in the home office with me this afternoon. She is such a beautiful and photogenic dog that it is easy to get good photos of her regularly. When we adopted her back in Indiana, we did a DNA test to get check her breed and learn …
