Jim — Jim needed a new portrait to accompany his latest gallery exhibits. I would have preferred to take his picture in the workshop, but time was of the essence, and Jim and Carol were in Springfield for the day. I used my secret weapon—Ginger—to distract and relax his pose while I took a set of photographs in our backyard. 2

Making plans — I grabbed this candid shot of Lanie while we were taking a rest in the shade outside the butterfly house at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. Unfortunately, the butterfly house was closed for renovation.
Making plans — Lanie and her bf Lewis joined us for our ‘mini-break.’ We took a few minutes before we left the hotel to decide what to do with our day. 2
Well plaid — When we arrived at the hotel on Sunday, I knew I wanted to get this picture. Monday, I grabbed it. I had to lie down in the road to get the picture, but it was worth it. Graduate Hotel, Fayetteville, Arkansas, April 2026. 2
Coffee and an (out of shot) Pop-Tart in my hammock. Eight o’clock and it’s warming up just a tad.
Gary at the Big Paddy Creek Scenic Overlook, Paddy Creek Wilderness — It was very windy up on the ridge, and the wind was quite chilly, which was nice as it was 82°F in the sun. This is another Ozarks view I never tire of. 3
Top of the Power and Light Building. I love Art Deco architecture.
The Kauffman Center from the 32nd floor terrace, Kansas City Power and Light Building — We were at the Kauffman Center last night for Chris Thile with the Kansas City Symphony.
Empty Chair — I’d planned on taking a picture of Ginger sitting enjoying the view, which would have been a great silhouette. But Ginger got up as I grabbed my phone.
Turnaround Point, and stopped for lunch — According to my calculations, I was about three-and-a-half miles into my hike, and this log offered a great view and spot to eat lunch.
