One photo a day challenge: Day 113. Today I spent the entire day outside with my hands in the dirt. It was hard work. But it felt good. I haven’t spent that much time working in my yard in a long time.

It is beginning to look like an at least… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 53. Today I returned to the bouquet of carnations that my wife had bought for me. I set up the lighting for the flowers a little differently this time.
