Christmas Cards





Put together the pics for our card this year and ordered them via shutterfly. These are the ones that made the cut. Our picture was taken in a photo booth at a friend's wedding - though I wish the hat was mine!

Amber was showing a cow at ISU a few weeks ago. She did pretty good, but the cow was not very cooperative.

There were some huge houses in the hills in Jamaica - I heard Mick Jagger owns some property out there. Here's one example - HUGE

Here's one from the Mecum auction that was held at the fairgrounds

Another from the zoo - I had quite a few good looks from animals, but I tried to pick the ones where it wasn't as obvious that they were stuck in an enclosure. It was a really large place, but still.

Visited the Omaha Zoo this summer - the jellyfish tank was neat, really reallly blue.

Another picture from Snus Hill Winery - season is wrapping up for hanging out and listening to music at the winery. Too bad.

Another flooded field..expect USDA to be dropping their estimates because the yields are going to be below average per acre.

I have found that the summer time is not the blogging time for me. That and the computer crashed. Now up on Windows 7 - which is great for those of you that haven't yet tried it. Here's a photo I took a while back, I think it was a century farm - and it was for sale at the time.

Not really any pictures here, just can't quite fall asleep. Got called out to a car accident, driver ran a stop sign coming onto a county highway and pulled out in front of some scouts coming back(?) from camping. Maybe it was too stormy. 3 to the hospital.

A couple shots from our once-a-month car show in small town Iowa

Monday, July 12, 2010



Well I haven't posted in some time now. I just got around to working on more pictures. Summer is always such a busy season. Here are a few from Jamaica I still haven't posted. Both of these came off of the Panasonic point-and-shoot, and then I messed with em

There was entertainment every night in Jamaica - this is from a variety show.

Sunday, May 2, 2010



Been busy getting things done around the house, but here are some Jamaica photos I had a chance to get processed. A couple from our room (with some sort of cool towel sculpture).

Saturday, April 17, 2010


another non-jamaica one for you. don't have any of those ready right now.

The guide from the resort pulled that thing off the ocean floor and let people hold it. Pretty neat!

Sunday, April 11, 2010



A couple photos taken underwater. I was interested to se how these would turn out. Not too bad!

Went snorkeling just out from the resort - just before we left on this trip I bought a Panasonic Lumix TS1. Shockproof/waterproof/dustproof. Good backup camera.

Thursday, April 8, 2010


And there we were drinkin in the pool. Swim-up bars are sweet, but I didn't notice too many people getting out to use the bathroom....

gross. but hey, enough Jamaican Rum and it's all good

Out the window in the morning before breakfast - they turn the waterfall off at night so it isn't noisy. Here it is still turned off.

Sneaking in a non-Jamaica picture. This is the first set that I have put together with autostitch to create a panorama shot. It was really calm yesterday and the reflections were neat.

Only place I really set up the tripod was the room, and we took a picture every night.

Been busy and neglected getting photos up here, but here is a view from our room the first night there.

Sunday, March 28, 2010


This is from our room overlooking the pool/ocean. Definitely spring for the concierge room - stocked bar, so we had champagne, wine, beer, juice, water, and hard alcohol all at our fingertips. They had a fruit and cheese plate waiting for us in our room, and we cracked open a bottle of champagne and enjoyed the weather.

Sun finally up, in route to Atlanta at the time.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010


Okay, a few more days of sun rising pictures....funny that I got them from the plane but never quite woke up early enough to get them from the ground! Sun is just peaking over the clouds here.

Starting some Jamaica photos ... this one is from the plane window as the sun is starting to rise.

Pepe is pretty protective of his bone, and also enjoys them starting in the middle for some reason. 4lb doggie thinks he's tough

This was a mug - the head comes off and there is a handle on the back.
