Yes that’s blue sky in the photo. Monday, the sky actually cleared between storms long enough to go out and take some pictures of Main Street. I was taking pictures of the top of the Abraxas building when these two …
After a nice breakfast of eggs benedict, Lori and I opened our presents. I guess the family figured out I was under a bit of stress lately, and all of the presents are greatly appreciated as they are all wonderful …
After two previous attempts that got squashed by events related to the storm, Chelsea made it back to the studio to finish modeling the outfit that she wore at Ivanhoe’s earlier. We also had her model a fur and velvet …
Last night looked like it might be a nice sunset so I went out to take pictures. Still looking for that Christmas tree shot for next year’s Christmas cards. Didn’t get one last night because while I was rushing around …
We had a full day without rain today! It gave me some time to start cleaning up some of the mess the storm left. My first task was to try to recover the power cords for the Chistmas lights, but …
I had intended to follow up the little Christmas tree shot taken earlier this month, with one of the big Christmas tree. However, the storm events delayed being able to take the picture until tonight. Even after the huge windstorms …

Tonight was the annual lighted tractor parade, and like last year it was held in a downpour. But Ferndaler’s don’t care if it rains on their parade, they still have fun. This was my favorite entry, not only because of …
I promised myself a day off today so that I could put up our Christmas lights and go watch Katy’s ballet program. Heavy rain started falling yesterday, and it continued today. Even so, I spent the morning putting lights up …
I see that 10 days have gone by since my last update. During that time there’s been a few things that I’ve wanted to photograph, but either the lighting hasn’t cooperated, or I found myself without the camera. I need …
During my fire department physical earlier this year I met Chelsea as she was taking my blood pressure. Noting that she was very petite I mentioned Lori’s clothing collection and asked her if she would be interested in modeling. So …
With a good start to the holiday season, Ferndale had their annual tree lighting ceremony tonight, under clear skies. Quite a desparture from last year, when it absolutely poured right at the beginning of the ceremony, and continued right up …
