I had a four day weekend coming up when I read on Murphyz blog that some new top level domains (TLDs) had been released, including one of personal interest, dot-photography.

Mike’s 365 was created on the 10th of January in 2013. I created the photoblog with the goal of posting a picture a day, for a year. Not just an image a day, but an image taken and processed on the day it was posted. The effort was a complete success! I didn’t miss a … Read more

Today would have been my mother-in-law Laurina’s 96th birthday. She loved sunflowers so we took some up to her grave and I’m posting these shots in her honor. ::
Seems like a long time ago, but barely a week before the great flood we attended Lindsborg’s Broadyway RFD where we saw a fun performance of Guys and Dolls. I managed to get a few pictures and have posted a few here, with a whole bunch more on Flickr. I really like this view of … Read more
