I thought I saw a couple tiny wing tips, while taking pics! I DID, they have an eaglet and I have proof!

The boys call it a birble! ;)

“They Shall Mount Up With Wings of Eagles”. I got to witness this nesting pair soaring!

How is it possible that we’ve gotten to the point where both boys are old enough to have their own cars in the drive...!?

I'm still not used to seeing that when I pull in. :)

Not a bad sight to enjoy on the way home from a day of work. I’d say I stumbled on a bald eagle nest...

A nesting pair, to be specific. I might have even witnessed baby wings and feeding.

Downtown Indianapolis is quite pretty, especially with a little sun and warmth!

Julie, Andy and I arranged our loot from the first day of our weekend NRA show trip.

Johnny had to stay home so he could enjoy the home school prom.

I saw this cool knife, this weekend. The handle is made from a fossilized wooly mammoth tooth!

It was a custom knife maker from Africa.

The lovely young couple all dressed up and off to their home school prom!

They look so nice all dressed up together. :)

While waiting for me to park the car, Andy does five Whirlwinds, and eight J-Sticks

County view on a spring day!

How to improve on a Peep, add whip cream! Andy’s idea...

Johnny put himself together pretty nicely for his homeschool prom...!

Quite a sharply dressed young man. Thanks to Ian and dad, this costume only cost him one bow tie and a dry cleaning bill - that's it!

Just another version of the full moon from last week!

I liked the colors of the neighborhood as a storm blew by

Julie goes to school...

I am so impressed by all the work Julie puts into teaching the boys...! Also, I never knew she had such beautiful printing until she stated taking notes for her second trip through school. haha. I love all the color coding, details, and diagrams! She takes the classes with the boys to make sure she can answer their questions and clarify their struggles. These are a couple pages out of her math notes. She calls the multi-volume set her magnum opus!

I love you, my wife!

Here’s lookin’ at you kit...;)

Beautiful night

Another shot, just standing in the parking lot, handholding my camera. The clouds had just started to cover the full moon.

Beautiful evening

Johnny inherited his grandpa’s cuff links for his big prom date this weekend.

It’s mowing season again.

I got the tractor all ready for the year and managed to get the yard mowed. It's been a while since I did it myself, but with the kids working and school, I figured I would give them a break, this week. I forgot how much I enjoy it sometimes.

Falling asleep while sitting up

For some reason both sides of my family think this represents me too well...

Just another pretty day in the neighborhood.

Preparations are being made...!

It's been fun to see their outfits evolve as they find deals on clothes and accessories.

You’re probably tired of cat pictures too! But they just do so many cute and silly things...!

Just another view of our little, country homestead.

You’re probably getting tired of these by now...? ;)

Seriously, Andy?! Unicycle AND...

Trees budding, sun shining, cloud’s silver lining. Loving spring!

A good example of using HDR photography.

High dynamic range lets the airplane and the sky maintain usable detail even while looking right into, and being backlit with the sun...

I LOVE this picture of Emily. Fun to enjoy shooting pics with her.

I thought the colors and scene were reproduced REALLY accurately here.

So nice to have beautiful weather back again!

An old building downtown. I liked the red brick and red painted glass combination

Nice way to spend the afternoon.

We all enjoyed spending Easter afternoon at my mom’s. Nice to have us all together.

The kids enjoyed the beautiful weather by playing various yard games.

A modern day jam session.

The perfect gift basket: by a teenager, for teenagers... ;)

A sign my mom might have visitors staying with her...?

Pepper is just plain silly!

I think just about all of us took some version of this photo, during Isaac’s Birthday photo shoot.

A worn out screen, downtown

It’s fun to see the boys cooperating to see who can knock each other off their perches the fastest.

Long skirts and long boards. Goes well with the head coverings.

Does a ball cap count? I guess so. :)

Fun with family photography! See them all in the link below

A bunch of us enjoyed roaming the RiverScape area to celebrate Isaac's birthday.  A few of us brought various cameras and captured the scene from ground level to birds-eye view.  

You can see them all here.  I have them sorted by order taken.  You can guess the photographer on some of them... ;)

Capturing the capturer... ;)

Did you notice that was two dogs, yesterday?

I still see one if I only look at the head. It switches back and forth. Julie was watching a video and just happened to pause it at a place that caused this illusion.

Nice view from Riverscape

Jesus paid the highest price...!

How am I supposed to work under these conditions!?

Looking back upriver towards downtown Dayton.

You can see the YMCA building in the lower right. That's where my dad stayed when he first moved to Ohio to start working at Delco.

This dog looks like it has a split face. Reminds me of some of my mother in-law’s cats. She has a couple chimera cats.

That’s a lot of air conditioners!

I just liked the perspective and old vs. new of this restored building where my dad used to work.

Last one... Crazy how the roof was so consumed.

Andy just out for a stroll...

Fifth Third Field, the Dayton Dragons, and the old Delco Products building.

My dad used to work in that building. I'm glad to see they re-purposed it.

Just hanging around downtown, and I found these two hooligans...
