At my desk this morning – If I could just train Tubby to do my Facebook posting for me.

Four colored Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pens

Now I Have a Fancy Green Pen For My Fancy Green Ink – Recently Ginger’s become besotted with fountain pens, and unfortunately a little bit of her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me. One-minute read, 3 pictures

View through a Kaleidoscope eyepiece showing colored glass shards

Kaleidoscope – In a moment of idle speculation, I wondered what would happen if I stuck the camera lens up against the eyehole in our Kaleidoscope. Now I know!

Bookcase – Finished – I didn’t take a picture of the finished bookcase, so I took a couple today. 2 pictures

My Office Fur factory – When she’s not on my desk Blue Kitty spends most of her time pushing Zees and generating fur on my spare chair.

Morning Welcome – Most mornings this is how I am welcomed to my desk.

Sanctuary Lamp – Today I snuck into the church to take some test photographs. 7 pictures

There’s something very serene about the view across the darkened church from the sacristy door. It made a nice change for me to be taking pictures in the church just for myself rather than for some official diocesan or church event.

Altar at Christ Episcopal Church Springfield, Missouri – I took some time out today to take a few pictures at Christ Church. 7 pictures

Second Shoot of the Day – Jr. High Retreat – It was a questionable decision to do two photo shoots back to back with a new camera. But it turned out fine. One-minute read, 7 pictures

‘Compact’ Rental – One of the advantages of being a regular rental customer appears to be that one gets a rather large compact vehicle. 2 pictures

Bragging on Lanie – Lanie’s been very busy recently and we’re very proud of her. If you watch the video you’ll see why. What she didn’t mention in the video is that she is maintaining her grades and she is still involved at church. Video: 3 minutes & 4 pictures

Spirit Magazine – Volume 8 Issue 2. April 2016 – My contribution to this issue was: Editor, design, layout, editorial (page 3). Photographs: cover, pages 3 & 19.

Cat Food – Apparently our dinner plans for tonight have changed.

My Preferred Technology … contrasted with the technology I actually use to get my work done.

The End of an Era. Fujifilm X-E2s and Nikon D7000 – Today I retire my DLSR, and say welcome to my new Fujifilm X-E2s mirrorless camera. Five-minute read

Monster School Bus – I’m guessing (and hoping) that this bus has something to do with the St. Patrick’s Day parade due to take place in Lexington later in the day. 3 pictures

Day Hike at Busiek – The weather this weekend has been wonderful (especially considering it is still February). However, we’ve not had a chance to get away backpacking as we had commitments in town on Saturday. Today we went on a short hike at Busiek. 3 pictures

Aladdin Jr. at Springfield Little Theater +44

Branch of Brushy Creek off of the Pees Hollow Trail, Hercules Glades – This creek was mainly dry, but near where we camped there was some water. 3 pictures

Camped for the Night at the Hercules Glades Wilderness. 4 pictures

Gary on the Pees Hollow Trail — This truck cab is a bit of a landmark on the trail – it’s just to the south of a spring – so there is water nearby. There is also a fire ring close by.

We had a little navigational problem getting started. The beginning of the western half of the Pees Hollow trail isn’t marked, and the trail isn’t much used. With all the fallen leaves we went past the start of the trail and had to backtrack. The views were well worth the effort.

Tubby the Telly Watching Burmese cat sits watching birds on TV

Tubby was very enamored with this bird video a friend posted to Facebook. He also took quite a shine to a video of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church – Bishop Michael Curry. Who knew? Unlike Getzger Tubby has never been to the blessing of the animals.
