The sun has been shining all week. For that I am so thankful. February 27, 2022 - Friedhof (Cemetery) This cemetery is a five minute walk from our house. It is so peaceful and the gentle evening sun added to the peace of the place. Who were these people? What did they do? The plots... Continue Reading →
February 20-26: Photo Project Week 8
The heaviness of the week has caused much reflection. My grandfather was born in Ukraine. His family was not ethnic Ukranian as they were Dutch/Belgian Mennonites, but knowing that bombs have dropped near where his family and hundreds of other Mennonite families had settled in the 18th Century brings a weight that is hard to...

The week flew by in a blur. I did switch to RAW but knowing that my photo drives are not that big, I'm not sure how I will store the photos yet. I just haven't spent the time working on figuring that out. I know that I don't need them in RAW just for when... Continue Reading →

I'm pretty proud of myself. I've stuck with this project for almost a month. I'm not good with consistency so this is a very good thing. But that being said, this week was hard.

2022 is the Year of the Creative Outlet
I want to use this camera and not rely on my cell-phone, so I created a #365photoproject on Instagram. My goal this year is to take one picture a day with my camera and then once a week, I want to write a blog about those photos and share with the world.
All Things Together

I've used my meager German a lot. I was even told by a lady who worked in the deli at the local... Continue Reading →
