OK the 4th of July holiday is over and now it’s time to shop for Halloween! NOT!!
Boy was it hot over the last week and me with this beard, WOW. I am hiding behind the beard for the next few months, looking to get myself centered up and out looking for new images.
Miss Katie is coming along with her physical therapy for her arm and should be starting her work programs next week.
Got out this last Sunday to get the old eyes warmed up and take a few shots. It was HOT!
Got this image of Adrian’s court house, July 5th, split B&W and Color.
I took this new portrait of myself and Mimi, my cat, this morning. I have to show off my beard. I have not worn a full beard in over forty years. Don’t ask me to dress up as Santa Claus unless it’s BAD SANTA!

Lets get ready for a week of HOT weather, stay cool and drink lots of water. I will be smoking a big one in between staying cool and drinking that big class of cold water. Ha Ha
Taking care of Miss Katie full time is a big job I do gladly. Most of the time. Katie is showing positive growth now we are settling down in our new digs. Katie has been going to physical therapy three times a week for the past three weeks for her right arm she broke back in March.
Little steps add up and before you know it you have walked a mile. In July Katie will start going to the Good Will for training so she can volunteer at a retirement center. This is something she really likes and is looking forward to doing.

Tonight is the full moon and it's called the strawberry moon. Get out and take a look tonight, moonrise is at 9:35 pm.
No new images for now but I did photograph the Strawberry Moon last year, here is the photo from last year. Next month is the Buck Moon.

Stay hydrated and cool, enjoy that we are still here and can have a positive effect on each other.
Peace

I got out of bed so it is a GREAT DAY and the weather is sunny cool. I don’t care how hard it gets, there seems to be a way of getting on top of it. This is my luck or how I see things , the past few months Katie and I were without an address and considered homeless. The new digs are working out, starting to feel like our home. A few more weeks and I may start feeling the creative juices again. Katie likes having her own room and starts her GoodWill Programs in a few more weeks. She is still recovering from a broken right arm from a fall she had three months ago.

Looking to sell my 17” Epson printer to upgrade to a Epson 24” printer. I have a few art print projects that need to go bigger than I can print now.

Lots of stuff in storage that needs to be sold or donated. Putting my main focus on Katie and one more shot at producing and selling my art.

Today’s image, I saw this old rusty scooter hanging on the shed on the Kopke farm last year.

It has been almost three years since I have posted on FB and first wanted to say thanks for all the best wishes posted on my Birthdays. THANKS !
Starting a new chapter as my daughters full time care giver. Katie has come to live with me so she won’t end up in a croup home. We are renting a small trailer home in a small park for 55 and over in Adrian MI. Very clean and close to all the services Katie needs. So let the fun begin.
Still getting settled but next month in July I will start shooting again looking for my next image to print. Took a break the last few years.

Today's image is of a Hay Trolley, photographed both sides and combined into one image. Shot this last year, the trolley is from the Kopke farm in Britton MI.

Thanks for following me here and have a great day!

Time for a new image even though it’s a year old. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weather.
