Sundays are typically my most difficult days to get motivated to make new photos – and today was no different. I think part of the reason it is so difficult is because we are generally so busy on Sundays. We “go to church” in the morning and are nearly always the last to leave before […]

Grateful 365 Day Thirty-three
A couple friends of ours, Larry and Keri Wilson, are very involved in the roller derby scene here in Billings. I see Keri at least once a week and she is always trying to get us to come to one of the bouts but I have either not had the time or just didn’t make […]
Grateful 365 Day Thirty-two
If you’ve been following this project at all, you know that I had some site issues that required me to take it down and patch some security holes. When I put the site back up I did so with an entirely new look that required a whole lot of time to get “just right.” Because […]
Grateful 365 Day Thirty-one
With the kids being on summer break, I’ve been making a point of getting up early in the morning and heading out with Connor and Emma on our bikes to Riverfront Park. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are just a few minutes away so we are able to ride from our house […]
Grateful 365 Day Thirty
It is funny the things that you find you are Grateful for when you do a project like this. Today’s photo is a perfect example of that – and my first venture into photography of this sort. Sue, my always supportive wife, made one of my absolute favorite meals today, lasagna, and it looked so […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-nine
As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t posted anything new for the last several days. This has not been by choice – instead, it has been because I have had some serious site issues that needed to be resolved before I could continue. In essence, there was a security hole in one […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-eight
I’ve been a Biblical Christian for 10 years and been involved with the church for about 15 and I still get excited when a person obeys the gospel. Today, Nolan Tewell gave me a great subject to photograph when he was immersed in water for the forgiveness of his sins to receive the gift of […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-seven
Despite the fact that the weather in Billings has been anything but nice, we will eventually see summer. To help keep the kids’ attitudes positive and to provide some much needed relief when the heat finally does come, we purchased a glorified kiddie pool today. Of course, with any pool, one needs to have goggles […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-six
The subject of today’s Grateful photo are the flowers that grow in front of our house. These particular flowers have quite a history behind them, beginning with my wife, Sue, when she planted them in her Mom’s garden when Sue was 14. To tell the rest of the story, I now turn it over to […]
Grateful Day Twenty-five
My nephew, Jory, turned 7 today and during sugar-fueled frenzy I was able to get the kids to sit together and “pose” for a few pictures. It was fun having all the kids together; we don’t do it enough and I know they enjoyed it. ISO 200, 55 mm, f/10, 1/125 sec
