Photo of the Day: Old Tree

On February 20, 2013 By LindyIn nature, photography

I took this photo a year ago on my in-laws’ land in Southeast Kansas. I chose not to use it as the photo of the week merely because I liked this photo better. Looking back, it is a pretty impressive tree.

It may be a gnarly tree in the winter, but this tree probably looks pretty impressive when its leaves grow.

Photo of the Day: Memories of Grandpa

On February 16, 2013 By LindyIn photography5 Comments

Today’s blog post is dedicated to my grandpa, who passed away two years ago today. Even though I miss him all the time, it really was a blessing after several years of dementia and living in a nursing home.

This is one of my favorite photos of him. In 2008 he was living in the nursing home, and grandma was recuperating from surgery and couldn’t visit for a couple of months. Despite the memory loss, he knew that grandma hadn’t been visiting, and he was thrilled when she finally came back, constantly kissing her and holding her hands. Their love endured everything – 64 years of marriage and beyond.

I drive across this bridge every day, but not every often do I get to admire its architecture from this angle.

Photo of the day: Suspicious Kitty

This little kitty was watching me very apprehensively as I approached my apartment stairs a couple of days ago. Unfortunately it was getting dark and I only had a moment to snap the photo before he took off, so it’s a bit grainy.

Photo of the Day: Wind Farm

The last time I took a road trip in January was two years ago … with my parents … for a funeral. Below is a photo of a wind farm we passed in Iowa on that trip. I’m lucky my parents were willing to make the stop, because I got some pretty cool photos, most of which have never been published before.

Today I’m leaving on another road trip, but this time it’s a girls’ weekend at a spa in the Lake of the Ozarks! I’m so excited. Hopefully I’ll have some fun pictures to share when I return.

Photo of the Day: Can’t Get Enough

I can’t get enough of this sweet baby! Every time we’re at a family event, the photos I take of her are usually my favorite. I really have to refrain from posting photos of her every time. I chose this one simply because of its unique composition & framing.

(See her here and here.)

Project 52 Week 30: Cutie Patootie

After taking well over 700 photos at Glacier National Park, I slacked off on photography a bit this past week. (By the way, my Glacier photos had the most views of any post on my blog – times about four!) I did snap a photo of this adorable little guy at my nephew’s birthday party this weekend.
