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.

In the summer of 2020 I experienced the worst pain I had ever had. I made it to work on that Monday morning and felt a sharp pain in my mouth on the left side. I called my dentist immediately.

Oh, I didn’t know!

So I did something the other day that I've not attempted in a while. I wanted to put some game cameras out at Lake Monticello (no that's not the different part). The water is coming up out there and I found my boots leak (that's the part I didn't know) trying to put a camera … Continue reading Oh, I didn’t know!

My Story: Life Before Tragedy (Part 5)

During my transition time (from college to full time) the company hired a young woman to work as the Human Resource person. Her name is Christy and is very beautiful.
