I agree that divorce can be hard. I have gone through that process in the past and The divorce was good for me since it allowed me to meet and marry Linda 6 years afterward. I had steeled myself to being single for the rest of my time but then this younger lady met me at a party and she hung...

Very bittersweet. But I am slowly getting my life back together. I am doing things to keep active although I must admit, photography is not as important as it once was.

I got to stay home and watch the dogs. Truth be told, I could not stay up that late. She got home around 1:00 am.

Last night, we went to photograph for our inner-city baseball league. As we were driving home, we noticed the clouds that were enormous and in the reflected light of the sun setting, it was indeed a powerful image. Some shots looked like Mountains in the distance and others looked like massive...

Must be noon! :)

On our walk downtown, we took a picture of the business neighbor of my wife's studio. A very big and successful bicycle sales and repair store.

My wife closed her studio 2 years ago because of Covid. She had a sign on the corner of her downtown building with her name and an original painting. The painting was done by a neighbor's son. We went downtown today to reminisce on the old days and to see if someone had painted over her sign...

Here is the rest of the trip with the images from the Olympus OM-D EM-1x.

After brutally cold days before and on Christmas, our weather finally gave us a break and today was a day with temps in the mid-50s Fahrenheit. We loaded our three dogs into our SUV and headed to the Flint Hills. There are lots of old and iconic structures which are still around but slowly...

Lights are up in some areas and this locomotive is all decked out. Fuji X T 2 with 85mm Mark II viltrox 1.8.

My wife and I got up early and found that fog was covering our area. We grabbed cameras and went to our iconic native American Bosin Blackbear's statue at the confluence of two rivers. It was dark when we got there and it lightened up a bit. I left the Olympus OM D EM 1x home and took the...

At a local park. The colors are there but not as brilliant overall as in some years past. Maybe the cause is the drought we have had for the past couple of years.

Dingle Peninsula, Ireland with a graduated orange filter.

Mike, I assume these are from Finland. The country of Finland certainly has a lot of water in the lakes and seas surrounding it. We have visited Finland many times because of an exchange son who lived in Espoo. We went on the trip through the Archipelago on a Silja Line cruise from Helsinki...

I have read every word, looked and marveled at every picture and feel as if I was there in your body experiencing these wonderful sights and feelings. Like you, I sometimes get flustered to the point of panic in strange situations where I feel I am not in control. I always focus on another...

Finally, one of my favorite small towns on the Mississippi is Burlington, Iowa.

Some from the covered bridge. The creek has wandered from the original site.

My wife had not seen her brother for 23 years. No problems between them at all but he left their home in Ft. Madison, Iowa to serve 4 tours in Vietnam in Naval intelligence and when he came home, he lived there awhile and then married, moved around, and several plans to see each other had been...

Outstanding photos and prose.

I don't even want to know where you were taking that photo.

Covered Bridge in Missouri on our way to Iowa. Wife in the bridge.

Stone Arch bridge in Kansas.

Update: Exchange son is an officer of a large German company and he will be in the US the week of the 13th of March through the 21st. He is flying to Dallas where my daughter lives after his business trip in Atlanta. Dallas is also the close-by city of my ex-wife and we will be playing nice...

We awakened to this snowscape this morning. This is an area of our patio which is deep in snow. The esoteric pictures are of a screen sliding door panel on our patio doors with the icescapes.

A little stream runs through the area and this is the area we always had our picnic. Sometimes alone and sometimes surrounded by grazing cattle.

My wife and I find great peace and calmness in the solitude of our vast area called the Flint Hills. Cattle outnumber humans greatly in this area of very large grazing grounds. We have a special place where we always go to picnic or to just relax and photograph the vastness. We always bring...

One more from the Czech Republic over Christmas. It was cold, but the intrigue of Cesky Krumlov at night called for us to freeze for photography sake. Just a small bridge over a little part of the Vltava river.

This was on the same trip. I was divorced from the lady who was the exchange son's host mother and he invited us both to come. I had a new wife of some 7 years and she had just remarried to a former NFL Quarterback who was with the NY Giants for years and played intermittently. The son had...

He got married in Cologne. Just to be sure! :)

The railroad and pedestrian bridge over the Rhine River in Cologne. One of my exchange sons had just got his doctorate from the University of Berlin and was getting married so we went, of course, to honor him. His reception was just across from the Cathedral so we took a short leave to...

A couple more from the west coast of Ireland. We had a photographer guide who picked us up at 5:00 am to get some shots around dawn. He drove us to secluded beaches where we took these photos. First is of the dawn breaking along an inlet to the sea and the second is of the pounding of the...

A spot used in a Star Wars movie near Ballydavid, Ireland.

Slea Head Road, near Dunquin, Ireland.

This is an old iron bridge that has now been declared unsafe for vehicles. It is outside a ghost community that was once known as Bois d Arc. The locals, not being French shortened it to Bodarc and later to Boder. It is a nice place to take our dogs and to picnic. With our unseasonably warm...
