Day 192

Photo taken from the bridge over the Kalamazoo River in the Albion College Nature Center. The photo is touched up quite a bit but I like the way it looks--for some reason it looks to me like an old-fashioned painting.

Mexican wolf at the Binder Park Zoo, Battle Creek, MI.

Day 183

Out of focus flowers in our front yard. I have trouble sometimes shooting photos without my glasses, especially when using our second lens.

Day 182

Windows of an abandoned commercial building, River Street, Albion, MI.

Day 181

Flower.

Day 180

Saying goodbye to Amy as she rode off to school for the first day of classes, I noticed this path in the dew running through the vacant lot across the street from us. What I don't understand is what caused it. It's not footprints; it's too wide for a bicycle. Curious...

Day 179

Former home the daily (now weekly) Albion Recorder newspaper, as well as several other now-defunct businesses. West Porter Street, Albion, MI.

Day 178

Meat and vegetarian feast at Altu's Ethiopian Restaurant, in East Lansing, MI. To be honest, we'd already started eating before I remembered that I wanted to have the meal as my photo of the day. In addition, I took the picture with my phone, so the meal looks much less appetizing than it did for real, and was delicious (and filling).

Day 177

Hosta flower, backyard.

Day 176

Interior quad of St. James Episcopal Church, Albion, MI. The church is being rebuilt after a May 2007 destroyed the sanctuary.

Day 175


Black-eyed Susans.

Day 174

I tend to leave footwear around the course; the dogs leave the toys.

Day 173

I was trying to be all artsy and photograph an early important album for me, with my reflection in it. Didn't work at all and I just binned the record.

Day 172

Abandoned house, Albion, MI.

Day 171

Diabetes diagnosis means regular exercise is a requirement--the driving range and the occasional nine holes will be part of that regime.

Day 170

Flower at night.

Day 169

The legendary banjo picker Earl Scruggs, on stage with his band the the Meijer Garden's amphitheatre, Grand Rapids, MI. Earl's playing was actually pretty limited, but it was still great to see the man live.

Clearing out the basment.

Flower in shadow, backyard.

Day 159

Canada Geese on the second hole of the golf course next to our condo (taken from the condo balcony).

Day 158

My super-model-gorgeous wife at the lighthouse, Marblehead, OH.

Day 157

Manifest evidence that I need to learn how to change the focus on our camera. I took about half a dozen pictures of Amy at the beach in Marblehead, OH, and she's out of focus in every one. The stupid camera kept focusing on the yellow casing of a guy-wire connected to a telephone pole (which I cropped out). But Amy's so gorgeous even blurry she's beautiful!

Day 156

Corralling the dogs for a family photo can be a chore...

Day 155


Sita's spotted something over my leg.

Day 154


Hydrangea in our yard.
