Weekly Photo Challenge: One (Chem- or Contrail?)   15 comments


At first, I thought this was a chemtrail, but it could be a contrail. There’s a huge difference. Still, it could be a chemtrail. What do you think?

It’s a chemtrail after all! If you’ll notice, the jet only has two engines. There are three “trails”, one coming from the fuselage, which could only happen if they were spraying something from a nozzle of some sort.

More of the same, but I’m feeling Spring-y and am wishing I could be seeing more of this right now. Snow, go away. Spring, come quickly, like NOW! These flowers are members of the mint family called Dead Nettle flowers.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Community (and Sub-community)   41 comments


One of my favorite times of the year is when communities of beautiful wildflowers pop up from their winter prisons, like these bloodroot blossoms in a nearby forest bottoms from last Spring.

With Spring comes new life, and with new life comes new beauty, and with new beauty comes new youth and energy.

No matter how old one is, Spring brings with it a youthful energy that has us perking up, smiling more, and doing things . . . like Spring cleaning. What other time of year does one have the energy for that?

And within every community exists sub-communities that feed off from one other. And isn’t this what makes the world go ’round?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Grand (Sparkles)   20 comments

The word “sparkles” rarely conjures up the majesty of the word “grand” but sometimes the image can.

Remember when you were kids, you used to look up in the clouds and imagine you were seeing ships, airplanes, bears, unicorns, and so forth? Think of “sparkles” as kind of like that.

Have you seen any of the images that come back from the Hubble space telescope? Let’s put “Sparkles” into that category. Instead of imagining different cloud formations, imagine galaxies and nebulae. Can it get any grander than that?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon (Defunct RR Bridge)   5 comments


Liking all things old, I was returning home from Iowa when I saw this old railroad bridge in northwest Missouri that is no longer being used. In fact, I believe the tracks have all been removed. Yet, it makes a nice foreground to the horizon, although I would have liked to have the sky it bit more blue.

It’s amazing what one little old button can do to a photograph. Wild, but I kind of like it.
