Idaho Bull Snake
in Blog-
Norm Long and I found this little Bull Snake in the Idaho Power substation at Hemmingway Butte this morning. He was a cute little guy and didn’t seem to want to leave. 🙂

Quick Trip To McCall Idaho
A quick road trip to McCall Idaho this morning brought some really cool photo opportunities. I pulled off the road at Sugarloaf and saw this amazingly huge Golden Eagle landing in a tree. I tried to get a little closer but I could only get within about 60 feet. The shot I’m sharing here is…

Shoshone Falls In 30 Minutes
I was meeting a colleague in Twin Falls this morning. As usual, I was early. Quite a bit this morning. I was there half an hour early. On top of that, the person I was meeting called and said they would be half an hour late. That left me 1 hour to kill and I…

Boise Burger Brawl
For those who hadn’t noticed, there is finally a building in what was once the big hole in the middle of town. It just so happens that the company I work for is doing the HVAC controls for the building. It’s a pretty big project, the tallest building in Idaho. The project is being run…

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

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…
