Self Portrait


I was very proud of this. I got a wireless remote for my Nikon D-80, and I used it to take this picture of myself.
Lighthouse and Boat


I was very happy with this picture. I used my telephoto lens from about 4 miles away to get this picture. This is downtown St. Joe.
Fishing in St. Joe


Some guy fishing in St. Joe. I picked this guy off with my telephoto from about 3/4 mile away.

Ummm... Not sure what to say except that this was also in St. Joe.

Let's see who can identify this picture of a landmark of sorts between Three Rivers and Centreville, MI. Oh! I gave it away!
Three Rivers, MI, Cemetary


My wife took this awesome picture of a Three Rivers cemetary a few days ago.

What was I thinking?


I let the Guenter kids do pretty much whatever they wanted to me...they fixed my hair, gave me ear rings, etc...

Brothers



My nephews at Scidmore Park in Three Rivers, MI.

Don Bayn

I went to Battle Creek to see a friend of mine who has terminal cancer. It was very difficult for me to see Don, as he was physically wasting away and was barely responding to any stimulation.

I was thinking about Don on my way back, and I was thinking about what Don has taught me.

There are Christians in the world that are very particular about trying to do right in every situation. They try to be as absolutely Biblical as possible. They are righteous and good in everything they do. They make one feel worth less and small when we are around them. I would call these people Pharisees.

There are Christians in the world that are very particular about trying to do right in every situation. They try to be as absolutely Biblical as possible. They are righteous and good in everything they do. They make one feel loved, valuable and appreciated when we are around them. I would call these people Saints. Don Bayn was a Saint.

Make no mistake. Don Bayn was a better man than I, but Don would have never believed himself better than anyone. That’s why I will miss him.

Nephew and Little Girl

This is one of my nephews at Scidmore Park in Three Rivers. I love his look of suspicion toward the little girl.
Nephews

My nephews at Scidmore Park last night in Three Rivers. I remember playing at the lion water fountain when I was their age! By the way, I didn't tell them to pose at all. That is just what he did when we came up to the lion.

Al Capone

This is supposed to be a guard house just down a hill from Al Capone's mansion in Purgatory, MI. This is just south and west of Three Rivers and was half way between Chicago and Detroit when US 12 was the only route (before I-94).
