We were heading home, working our way North and East, and decided to head out to the ocean for our last few days. We have never had great luck on Galveston Island…but heck, let’s try it again. Our first visit to Galveston in the 80’s, we arrived very late so…
January 29, 2019 The weather wasn’t cooperating very well with us so we pulled out the weather map and decided it was time to head North a bit. We had spent about 2 hours in San Antonio on a trip back in the 80’s so we thought a full day…
We stayed four nights of our trip at a little RV park (Americana The Birding Center RV Park) just north of Bentsen State Park so we would have easy access to the Butterfly Reserve and the park. The campgrounds actually had a small Birding area with trails and feeding stations…
Mission Texas takes its name from this tiny Mission church near the Mexican border. The small park was deserted on the rainy morning that we visited, but books full of peoples prayers written in notebooks sat on the alters. Many of the prayers were for people who had passed or…

Ohio can be fickle. Warm sunny January days in the 60’s can let loose a snow storm the next day. Then it just might melt away, only to be hit a few days later with another snow. We’ve had a few pretty mild winters in a row now, so it…
Over the past few days we have had one of the most significant snowfalls that we have seen in Bremen in a few years so I got out the macro lens…
I have decided to take a bit of a break from doing the 365 project. It is time to spend more time developing products and working on marketing and selling more of my work. I am going to attempt a 52 project again. When I did this in 2017 I…
I’m running a bit behind, and running out of time so I’m combining these a bit. I spent some time working with a super macro lens and stacking. I need to look for some interesting really tiny things to make good use of this lens though, as even a Marmorated…
