The surveyor
I’ve seen this guy hanging out up on his perch for the past few days during my morning commute. He didn’t seem to mind me taking his picture, though I’m sure his nest isn’t too far away.

Lighting the new year: Random Image Friday
It’s time to celebrate the new year. This candle holder was a gift from Vicki’s aunt Jane and always brings back fond memories of her. Now we use it to celebrate the start of a new year.

A goat? Random Image Friday
Here’s a good random picture. A goat climbing a mountain. Ahh yes, this was taken back in 2003 when Vicki and I went to Greece and Italy. There were times on that vacation where I could have sold my return ticket and just settled into a small village and lived Read more…

Random image Friday: Black Friday edition
I’m not a big fan of the hyper-consumerism which is brought out during Black Friday (or the overextended holiday season, for that matter). I prefer to stay home with the family and play board games (and eat leftovers, of course). This year we’ve had a blast playing Carcassonne, Wits and Read more…

Random Image Friday

Random Image Friday
I took this one in June when I got my new 17-35 f/2.8 lens. The location is next the the pavilion on the North side of Monona Bay in Madison. I’ve done some post work to this image to make it look like it was taken at night.

Random Image Friday
We’ll see how long I can keep this up for, but starting now, I’m going to post a random image from my archives every Friday. To kick things off, here’s an image I took last weekend while stumbling around after the Gourmet Taste of Chicago (the wine was really really Read more…
