It’s For The Birds
My daughter participated in her first school exordium. Her class, the afternoon kindergarten, recited the 23rd Psalm and then presented the bird that they had researched. The kids were adorable and did a great job. I was of course particularly proud of my daughter, who spoke with clarity and boldness despite here nervousness.

Chess With The Kids
in Blog-
The kids were digging through our set of board games and came across an old chess board of mine. So one at a time, I sat down with them and taught them how to play chess. I think I left out “castling” and the “en passant” rule, but we covered all the basics. They picked…

The Crocodile Puddle
in Blog-
I’ve been down most of this week with a bit of pneumonia. As much as I wanted to jump at every opportunity to take pictures this week, I felt terrible and just couldn’t expend the energy required. So I haven’t shot a bunch this week. Yesterday though, I couldn’t take it anymore. I got Travis…

Wide Angle
in Blog-
My friend Doug Parkinson had his Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens with him at church the other day. I have loved some of the shots he’s taken with it in the past. I like to dabble with some HDR processing and I particularly like the images that are shot with such a wide angle. Doug let…

The Pelco Camera Truck
-
At Yamas Controls, I not only install, service and program air controls, but I do security systems, including cameras and associate DVRs too. One of the brands we carry is Pelco. They came by and did a little showing off for some of our local customers and friends and we barbecued some lunch. I managed…

Landscape Across Idaho
Again I get the call like Batman and his red phone. On Semiconductor has things to control that need wired and programmed. I spring to my van and rocket across Idaho to Pocatello to do the job. The drive really is not an exciting one. The vast majority of the view seems to be straight…

An Amazing Easter Sunday
Easter. A celebration of the greatest event in world history. The moment when death was defeated on our behalf. Jesus, setting aside pride and power, allowed Himself to be killed and buried for our sins. Then He showed His real power. The power over death and sin. Now He has given us the opportunity to…

We Celebrate Easter
I’ve been told that Easter was once a holiday established by some other far gone religion. It’s a shame that it didn’t start out about Jesus, the one who deserves all celebration, but I love it just the same. In my estimation, Jesus is a redeemer. He redeems us all, and He takes bad conditions…

Costco Strawberries
in Blog-
There are few things sweeter than taste of a really good strawberry. One of the few things we actually buy at Costco are the strawberries. I usually have a few while I’m frying my eggs in the morning. They look delicious, don’t they?

Meridian Spark-O-Rama 2013
I had the extreme privilege of taking some pictures for the AWANA Spark-O-rama yesterday. Also known as the AWANA games, this is an event that brings together clubs from churches all over the valley to play some fun games in the name of Jesus. I know the kids had a blast, my daughter included, and…

The Clarion
-
Once again I find myself in Pocatello for work, and once again I stay at the Clarion Inn. It was once a Holiday Inn, and much of the building, including the indoor pool area, are very reminiscent of the Holiday Inn. I stopped for a few minutes before retiring to my room and took a…
