Week 31: August 4, 2019
We had a chance to check out the Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha with some friends this weekend. This short video is from the train garden. We will need to make sure to go back at different points of the year to see the different plants in bloom.
Week 30: July 28, 2019
The garden is starting to produce some fruits and vegetables.
Week 29: July 21, 2019 (Part 2)
This is a bird we haven't seen at our house before. Otherwise, I'm not sure this picture would have made the cut.
Week 29: July 21, 2019 (Part 1)
It was a bird sort of weekend and I couldn't decide...
Week 28: July 14, 2019
We spent Monday walking around Fire Island in New York.
Week 27: July 7, 2019
We were on Long Island for a wedding and decided to spend a night at the converted TWA terminal at JFK. The whole thing looks like the original terminal and they turned this plane into a bar.
Week 27: June 30, 2019
I've been trying to not just post photos of sunsets, but I thought these clouds looked different enough that it warrented a post!
Week 26: June 23, 2019
We spent the weekend at the National Forest outside of Halsey, NE. This was our first visit to the Sandhills and we were impressed. We had a great campsite and went on a nice hike. The weather wasn't great but the rain stopped while we were hiking. I'll post some more photos when I get a chance to spend some time looking at them.
Week 25 (part 2): June 14, 2019
The second storm was a crazy light show. It was awesome in the distance but once it hit us we had some serious wind and rain along with the thunder and lightning. It was short lived though and I got a good shot of a lightning bolt.
Week 25 (part 1): June 11, 2019
We had two storms come through this week. I love watching them in the distance. This one was right a sunset and had some lightening that highlighted the clouds every once in a while.
Week 24: June 9, 2019
We heard a weird bird call outside that we hadn't heard before. I thought I saw this quail at first but once I had my camera I didn't see it again. I took a couple of photos in the hopes of getting lucky. I guess it actually worked this time!
Week 23: June 2, 2019
I was taking some photos of the different flowers that had bloomed this week and caught this butterfly going between bushes.
Week 22: May 26, 2019
This one of a pair of barn swallows that seem to be attempting to make a nest on our front porch. There is a lot of swooping when we are on the front porch.
Week 21- May 19, 2019
We had a number of flowers that started to bloom this week. I posted a few more here: https://www.functionoflight.com/Denton-House-Photos/Flowers/n-bLSp3p
Week 20 - May 12, 2019
It has been fun to see the plants coming back as we get further into spring. Having moved into this house at the end of October, it will be interesting to see what flowers we have and how everything survived the winter. Next week we should start seeing some flowers blossoming.
Week 19 - May 5, 2019
A big storm popped up on Sunday night, lots of wind, rain, and some hail. A tornado even touched down a few miles from our house (we just had the furniture on the deck moved around and a rain barrel tried to escape). This was taken after the storm passed and it was quiet.
Week 18 - April 28, 2019
I caught this action yesterday. Maverick and Goose would be proud. This is a video. You should be able to click on it to play.
Week 16 - April 21, 2019
We had a chance to get some seeds planted and get the rest of the beds ready for planting in a couple of weeks. This is our first time with a garden this large. In the past, it has been a few tomato plants and a few strawberries.
Week 15 - April 14, 2019
First time mowing, it must really be spring. I only did this part of the yard, it will take awhile to do the whole thing.
Week 15
A follow up to the previous photo...it was delicious.
Week 14 - April 7, 2019
Spring is slowly coming along. We had some strawberry plants coming up and this asparagus showed up overnight. We are excited to get the garden going and is great to have something that comes up so quickly in the year.
Week 13 - March 31, 2019
In San Diego for work. It is nice to get some warm weather as spring is having a hard time getting going at home.
Week 12
We drove out and saw the crane migration on Saturday. It is amazing to see so many birds in one place.
Week 10 - March 10, 2019
Isn't it supposed to be spring by now? This is the most snow we have seen in our 7 years in Lincoln. The last two snows have been followed by cold weather, and it is just now starting to disappear on us. Spring break is this week, but it does not look like it right now!
Week 9 - March 2, 2019
We went to the album release party for Andrea von Kampen this week at the Bay in Lincoln. You should definitely check her music out: https://www.andreavonkampen.com/
Week 8 - February 24, 2019
A break from our Nebraska winter with a conference in Phoenix and then San Fransico this week. The weather was "cold" for the locals in the each city, but it was much better than the weather at home. Somehow, we missed the big snow storms while we were traveling and our flights were not impacted. This is a photo from the conference outside of San Fransico. The conference was in two different hotels that are about an 8-minute walk. I may have chosen sessions to attend to maximize my outside time...
Week 7 - February 15, 2019
When it snows after 8:00 am and stops before 4:30 pm.
Week 6 - February 10, 2019
I took these photos last weekend and put together the panorama this week. The fog was from all of the melting snow.
Week 5 - January 30, 2019
Missing Teeth seems like a good name for this one. I'm not sure how or why the snow came off the roof in this way.
Week 4 - January 27, 2019
I did not have time to even think about photography much this week. Luckily, Ada
https://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/lovelace.html) decided to sit still this afternoon for a bit. Sunsets and cats will be easy photos this year, part of this goal is to make sure I am more purposeful during the week.
