Out and About

Leaving our homebase and running around for a short time.

Bar sign: “Extreme Midget Wrestling”

Only in the Ozarks (I hope).

Dove – I was at St. Philip’s in Joplin for a training session; I was on the receiving end for a change. When we broke for lunch I popped into the church to hunt out some images I could use for our daily evening prayers. 1 2

British Passport (2018)

Rinse and Repeat. The shop assistant squealed, she’d never seen a passport before, let alone a British one … The UK and the US. It’s often said that they are two nations separated by a common language. After ten years living in the US I can confirm that it is still true. Three-minute read

Anticrepuscular Rays.

Joy, shunned – Once again, photographically, ‘Sappho’ and ‘The Bubble’ stole the show. 2 3

Painted in big letters on the back fence: “VIDEO! DOG BITES!”

Large sign on the side of the same house: “STOLEN DOG. $500 REWARD…”

At The End of The Hike – The temperature was in the 80s, and I had just finished my hike with 920′ of elevation gain, so I’m allowed to look a little sweaty. +3

Dry Falls – Panorama.

Dry Falls – We’ve never seen more than a trickle pouring over these falls. They obviously run well when it rains, even if only briefly.

Twin Trunks – I loved the way the light caught these two trees on either side of the creek bed.

Woods Fork – Panorama
