Cotton Rose Ends Our Summer Blooms
Today is Monday, so I went out and shot some Macro Monday blooms for this weekly series post. All of the images below were taken this morning (October 6th) using a macro setup, my Nikon D850 and the 105mm macro lens. Only the second shot below is actually a true macro image though. The blooms…

Van Build Friday Feet
This year I have made an attempt to get better at posting more often to my various weekly series posts, so today, for my Friday Feet update, it’s a little bit of our van build. This week I’ve been working on the garage area (aka the trunk, the boot) which contains a compartment for tools…

Surprise Late-Blooming Light Purple Iris
This year has been, for us anyway, all about the Iris Bulb garden. We built a massive set of garden beds this summer, see Making 40 Raised Beds for Fall Iris Bulbs and Progress Update on Raised Iris Bed Construction if you are interested in some garden box building insanity. This was all for a…

Georgia vs Auburn Preview and Throwback
Today for my Throwback Thursday post I decided to take this “away game week” and look ahead to Auburn’s next home game against Georgia. Back when I started blogging in the late 90’s I really had no idea that I was going to be thrust into a lifetime of blogging and site maintenance, but here…

My Top 5 Books on Prayer
I have never really considered myself a book reader. Yet reading is probably one of the most consistent things I do every single day. I would even say I spend more time reading books than I do engaging with photography in all its various forms. I do have a decent list of book reviews on…

The Murals in Bonifay Florida
Last weekend we took a spur of the moment drive down to Pensacola and across the coastline to get some sea air in our lungs. We went a different way than we normally go, off the freeway. This took us through Eufaula and little towns like Bonifay Florida. We will have a full post with…

Purple Banana Flowers Blooming
One of our latest blooming plants revealed their gigantic purples flowers this week. We have a few banana plants around the garden and they don’t always bloom. I didn’t think they were actually going to bloom this year at all since we moved them last year, and then they didn’t start growing leaves until really…

Auburn Football Dinner Kickoff
In a previous post, Monochrome Monday Stadium Version I had talked about how this year during the sports season I was determined to haul my camera around with me and document the event. Sometimes that is more difficult than it sounds, especially in Atlanta at places like State Farm Arena (see Navigating Atlanta to State…

Monochrome Monday Driving Rain
It’s Monday again and I’m trying to continue the practice on monochrome images in my Weekly Series called Monochrome Monday with some photos I took over the weekend during a late afternoon thunderstorm. Fog and rain are two of my favorite times to take photos. I love capturing an image that has something in it…

Kodak Gold 200 on My Graflex Speed Graphic
My photography got started in film. I started shooting in the 90’s with a Nikon N70, and then quickly moved to a Nikon N90s, but regardless of the camera, it was all film based back then. I can remember at the time, when digital first started making strides into photography, I couldn’t get a digital…
