Are You a Journey or Destination Person?
As a photographer, rushing rarely leads to creating meaningful images. If there’s one life principle I vehemently oppose, it’s hurry. Hurry and photography are seldom compatible. Perhaps, had I titled this post more positively, I would have chosen something like “Always Take Time to Smell the Roses.” I could delve into the theological aspects of…

Driving Loki Through Tuskegee National Forest
In the early 20th century, Macon County, Alabama, faced challenges with poor soil in its northern region, leading to failed attempts to assist African American families through programs like “The Big Hungry.” In 1934, a new initiative, the Tuskegee Land Utilization Project, was initiated to address land poverty. This New Deal project, under the Resettlement…

The Making of a Raised Garden Bed for Mint Herbs
We are starting to get into the super long hot 100° summer days here in Zone 8(b), so we are still planting seedlings. This year we started converting all of our garden beds (for veggies, herbs, or essential oil flowers) to raised beds, because of our super-sandy soil, and this time the Mint family was…

Figs are in Harvest Getting 2-4 Cups a Day
We planted a fig tree years ago hoping that some day we might get a fig. Now, this tree provides a ton of shade, but in mid-to-late July, it also produces about 4 processed cups of figs a day. And this goes on for at least a month! As the life cycle seasons of this…

Our New-Old Ford Econoline E250 Conversion Camper Van
We bought a model 2000 Ford Econoline E250 to convert it into a camper van. It may be the cool #vanlife hashtag now, but we have done this before when we converted a Greyhound Bus into an RV.

A Fresh Update for a Post Pandemic Time
We certainly aren’t post pandemic yet, but surely someday we will be, I hope. My blog hasn’t necessarily been hiding under a chair like my cat, but it hasn’t been far off from that reality either. Last year, among other things, we worked hard on building a backyard pond, (Deborah’s blog has kept up with…

Beauregard Tornado Three Months Later
It’s been about three months now since the tornados hit our area in Lee County. Over the weekend I stopped and take a few images of the places I drive by every day. I could have taken thousands of images, so these are just a few on Lee Road 100 and 38. The cleanup has…

All i Want For My Birthday is an Iron Bowl Win
The photo above was taken from our regular season-ticket seats we’ve sat in for 20 years, just after Davis ran back the 109 yards to score the game winning touchdown to send Auburn to the 2013 National Championship game. It was quite possibly the greatest game ever played in college football history.

A Non-Chemistry Auburn Basketball Season
It’s been a lonely season of empty seats and shattered basketball hopes at this point. Deb and I love going to the basketball games, but it would be nice if just one season we could actually improve. This year is no different, they seem to have no chemistry, no cohesion, and few wins, though I…

Trek Madone 2.1 On the Road Again :: Friday Feet
It’s been a while since my last Friday Feet post. I kept trying to get a shot on a Friday with a different pair of shoes and decided this was it. For the first time in 2013 I got back on my bike again, although it was still pretty cold, I did ride for about…
