Sunday, May 31, 2015. River trip with Steph 5/30/15-5/31/15. I was incredibly lucky to steal a weekend with my friend Steph. We did loads and loads of planning. That’s a lie, actually no we did basically no planning whatsoever. The trip itinerary was “we have a car and we can do whatever we want when we want all the time”. And it turned out as good as it sounded. For starters, viewing turkey vultures from above, while up on Barn Bluff. Have you ever seen a more exacerbated and annoyed eagle? 8221; Truthf...

Sunday, June 14, 2015. June 11-14th: It’s really summer. I was able to drop the last 3 days of what would have been a usual 12-day work stretch. And lucky I could! While I don’t have many photos from the trip, I do have plenty of bug bites. After that I did some Hotwheels photography (it was raining). Then Mike came over and we all went out to lunch. Unfortunately I fell asleep during lunch (Benadryl), then had a 3 hour involuntary nap after that… But at least I wasn’t itching! Sunday we went to see Jura...

Sunday, October 18, 2015. A weekend at home. So we thought we’d repeat the trip. It was a beautiful Saturday and the park was busy, but as Scott said it was good to see so many people out enjoying the trees. In case you think we had the waterfall to ourselves, let me assure you it was crowded. Not the best set of bunny ears. Trying to take photos myself was tricky. A little PDA when there weren’t other hikers to get grossed out. Then to Northfield for lunch. We ate at Froggy Bottoms Pub. After each of th...

Saturday, May 23, 2015. Mini adventure in town. Worked the last two weekends - so it felt extra good to not have an alarm, and to have a long weekend to enjoy. Saturday, after a nice jog (gorgeous morning), Scott and I walked to Seward Café for breakfast. Enjoying city-sights along the way. Finding a curious creature on the way home. And some shots from Scott. Perfect day for German food on the patio at Black Forest. Spaetzle! And use honey instead of syrup? 8221; We tried it, and you can indeed! After ...

Sunday, March 8, 2015. First warm weekend of 2015! So this weekend it really warmed up, into the 4os, and the world felt so different. I was very lucky to not be working, and could basically play all weekend. Started out with Fancy Date Breakfast with Scott. We figured it’s been forever since we dressed in nice clothes for a date. So we got snazzed up. We were going to hit IHOP, but it seems our nearest location has closed (? Instead we went to Longfellow Grill, always tasty. Would you like some ketchup?

Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Lake Maria solo trip Feb 25th 2015. Having a lot of weekdays off makes it easy to get a quick overnight to Lake Maria. This year’s trip was cold again, but still about 10-20 degrees warmer than last year’s trip. And this time the cabin was already warm when I arrived. Putting more logs on. While waiting the 30-seconds for each photo exposure, I would put my ear on the ice to hear all the noises it makes while shifting. Orion and the moon. Clementine's in the morning.

Sunday, December 14, 2014. Savage Fen SNA – wide angle / macro lens. Despite being December 14th, it hit 50 degrees today! So Scott and I headed out to a nearby SNA for some exploration. First of course we hit a Target and Walmart on the way (no good Hotwheels though), then an IHOP for some ridiculous “food”. I got bon-bon pancakes and they were amazing. Then we went exploring the deer trails in the SNA. I kept switching between my new 100mm macro lens and a 10mm wide angle. Someone’s been shooting.
