I lost quite a few of these plants when I planted them out in the … Continue reading Sunflower Challenge (Post 1)

Backyard Photography – Birds

I mentioned last week looking down and seeing a sight of a simple mushroom and catching a photograph. One thing I've enjoyed in the past was bird photography in my backyard.

Out and About In South Arkansas…A trip to Warren Prairie

One of my favorite spots in the summertime is Warren Prairie Natural Area just west of Monticello on the Drew/Bradley County line. I've posted a few other times of trips over there.

My Story: After The Tragedy (Part 5)

Like the knife that sits unused mostly in my toolbox I am waiting and ready for my next assignment. I know from my life history that the day is coming. Right now I do not know what it will be.
