I was determined to get outside and make a photo for today so I took some time during my lunch hour to go to one of my favorite parks, Riverfront Park, just across Interstate 90 from my house. Riverfront is home to many hundreds of birds and during this time of the year one can […]

Grateful 365 Day Eight
I am eight days into this project and I can honestly say that I didn’t realize it was going to be as challenging to come up with a new Gratitude Photo every day. It’s not that I can’t find things for which to be grateful, it’s more that I don’t have the time in a […]
Grateful 365 Day Seven
Today, being a Sunday, I spent most of my time either at the church building or doing yard work around the house. (I also napped for a bit, much to my wife’s envy.) During morning assembly a brother in Christ, David Dunbar, made an announcement that he had many plants for which he did not […]
Grateful 365 Day Six
Today’s Grateful 365 Project photo is one that my son, Gannon, is sure to appreciate. My parents, Jim and Wanda Schaefer, purchased a home with some property north of Billings and we ventured out to see the house and take in the scenery. Of course, one of the things that comes with property is the […]

Barn In Rolling Hills
Today we took the whole family out for an opportunity to make a photograph of the snow-capped Beartooth Mountains outside of Columbus. Our trip began with an early morning departure (5:30AM) in order to get to the right spot when the light was at its best for the photo. However, the weather was simply uncooperative […]
Grateful 365 Day Five
Today’s photo was another that is relatively obvious, but one that I know my wife, Sue, liked. Our dog, Tuvok, is a “Pugottie” or a cross between a pug and a Scottie and is absolutely in love with our kids. He is the kind of dog that will put up with anything his kids throw […]
Grateful 365 Day Four
Today’s photo was actually a pretty obvious one – the subjects of which I am sure will be appearing throughout my 365 Project. Of course, the two in the photo are my two sweet and beautiful daughters; Lilly, age 8 and Emma, age 10. They became the subjects of my photo today for a couple […]
Grateful 365 Day Three
On my 3rd day of this project I thought for a while I wasn’t going to come up with a photo due to my having to spend a very large portion of my day behind the computer. My opportunity came today when I took my car to get the oil changed. As I mentioned in […]
Grateful 365 Day Two
Here’s the second photo of my Grateful 365 Project… It continued to rain ALL night and day and everything is pretty much soaked! The Yellowstone River is prepped for record-breaking flooding after several days of constant, slow-falling rain. This type of rain reminds me of what it was like in New Zealand when I was […]
Grateful 365 Day One
Here’s the first post of what I hope to be many in my newly inaugurated 365 Project. I am excited to begin the process and look forward to improving my photography and being more aware of the things around me for which I am grateful. For a more info (and a gallery of the photos […]
