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 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 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 […]
