This has been one of the wettest springs I can remember so when the rain finally stopped and the sun came out my subject was clear. After not seeing the sun for so many days I am grateful that it finally broke through. ISO 400, 40mm, f/11, 1/3200 sec

Grateful 365 Day Thirteen
My grateful photo today was taken with my cell phone while I was out with my boys letting Mom get some much needed rest. We made it a point to visit both Army/Navy stores in Billings and check out all the great gear they have. Connor, my oldest son, was pretty keen on trying on […]
Grateful 365 Day Twelve
The kids’ school year is winding down and Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. Sitte had t-shirts made for all the school kids to wear during the last few days of school. I figured it would be a great opportunity to get some photos of the students in their new shirts. My project photo from today is […]
Grateful 365 Day Eleven
After the events of Day 10 and my not having my DSLR I was thankful to be able to get more creative with my photo for today. The idea for this shot came to me during my drive to work this morning but I had yet to decide upon the specific subject. While I was […]
Grateful 365 Day Ten
This is way late for yesterday, but I ran into some technical difficulties that will be explained later. I took my two oldest kids, Connor and Emma, to a “Christian” rock concert in Billings featuring Disciple, Kutless and News Boys at the Shrine Auditorium. Overall it was a great concert and we all had a […]
Grateful 365 Day Nine
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 […]
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 […]
