Even though I much prefer summer, I have to admit that the trees are so beautiful like this! We haven't had many snowy days this winter. This morning I woke up to find several inches of snow on the ground,

This is my first submission for the black and white photo contest. I've never participated in this before, but I've seen others posting great photos. The "animals" theme seemed like a good time

I will preface by pointing out that we have two dogs already and we do not need a third dog. In fact, I only set foot in the Humane Society on Friday so I could pay my current canines' license fees. Alas,

Steemit user @drewley posted a photo earlier today of a beautiful blue pool at Yellowstone. I recognized it right away because I took a photo of the exact same one!! I had to share so we could compare

Many babies born today weren't made the old-fashioned way. It's no secret that sperm is available for purchase to those who need it. Sperm banks have been around for decades, yet most people I've encountered

My mom and I got to enjoy some icy drinks while sunning our toes in Florida a few weeks ago. Her margarita and my mojito were perfect to quench our thirst before a rousing game of putt-putt. I'm home in

It seems to be a growing trend. Local businesses (especially larger ones with higher overhead) have had to close their doors because of lack of business. The above photo is from a local camping and sporting

For my friend's birthday this week, we had a party with a florist and learned to make a holiday arrangement. In the photo above, mine is on the left and my wife's is on the right. Bentley evidently wanted

It's cold and windy outside, and the pups are taking advantage of this opportunity to snuggle up indoors! Bentley (the little one) is usually resistant to cuddling with Piper, so I was surprised to find

My sweet Piper likes to sit anywhere except the bare floor. She constantly seeks out somewhere else to put herself. She laid claim to our greenbags as we were unloading groceries the other day.

I have lived my life in Nebraska, so the only natural progression for me is to have four distinct seasons every year, gradually changing from cold to warm and then cold again. Growing up, holidays were

So many flowers, they take up the whole frame! I snapped this photo by my parents' house last week.

I am vacationing in Florida and am always happy to see the little geckos scuttling across the sidewalk. We don't have anything like this in Nebraska! They move really fast, so it is hard to get very good

This was the view from our balcony when we vacationed in Teton Village, Wyoming this spring. My mother-in-law and father-in-law actually caught a glimpse of a moose here early one morning when I was still

Young the Giant put on a fantastic concert this summer. We enjoyed a night of great weather, music, and friends.

I saw this cute little caterpillar just scooting around outside. At first it didn't seem interested in having its picture taken, but it held still long enough to show off its impressively-colored hairs.

The zoo in Omaha, Nebraska is consistently ranked one of the top zoos in the United States. We visited some of the animals there recently and I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos from the day.

These bright butterflies have been fluttering around my backyard for several days. Anyone know what kind they are? They look like monarchs from afar, but up close the markings and coloring appear different.

I went with a few friends to see the new "It" movie last week. As we walked up to the movie theatre, there was a solitary red balloon floating menacingly above the entrance. It was creepy even

My wife and I have wanted a kayak for a few years. It took some planning to figure out where we could store one and how we'd transport it. This summer, we finally splurged and bought our first kayak. We
