So today marks 76 days of my #wideopendaily that I have challenged myself with, and I think i'm just exhausted or burnt out trying to do this every day! Lately nothing seems interesting.... even what does

This evening my oldest daughter found this crazy weird looking bug on a towel by our swimming pool (that I just dried off with)!!! I sent one of these to my trusty friend @hethur240 and she said it was

This afternoon we had several people for some swimming and BBQ for my youngest daughters birthday!! @grassrootsmedia showed up a little late but announced his arrival with a blast from his shofar that

Today I didn't get a chance to pick up the camera until after it was dark and @melodyrussell said I should try to capture some fireflys! I walked out to the fence line, looking out into the field behind

Today I walked around our yard yet again looking for new things to photograph while absolutely getting eaten alive by mosquitos!! But in the short time I was out there I did find a few things to share!

Today I have one of my favorite beers for #wideopendaily!! This is honestly one of the cheapest beers you can buy, but can you really call malt liquor beer?!? Either people love mickeys or they hate it....

In the last few weeks i've shared a couple of the other lilies that we have growing around our house, so for today's #wideopendaily I have several photo's of the white lilies we planted in our flower bed

Over the weekend we went camping with @mikeyatez and after all the kids went to sleep we talked mike into going down to the river after dark and take some pictures with him shining a flashlight on the

For today's #wideopendaily I have the second of probably 3 wideopen posts of the lilies in our yard! This one was planted probably a year after the last one I shared and in soil that is super hard and

Today I have a few more things that are growing around the yard for the 67th edition of my #wideopendaily! This first image is yet another example of "Freelensing"!! You wouldn't believe how

Today I walked around the yard and looked to see if there was anything new growing but I decided to spend a few minutes with these honeysuckles! They've been growing up a dead tree in our yard that we

For today's #wideopendaily I have this nice orange lily that just bloomed today! If you have been following me for very long you might have seen this same lily in an entry for @jamtaylor's

Last week I noticed some mushrooms growing in our yard while I was mowing and was careful to not mow over them so I could photograph them later. Of course I came back and those particular mushrooms weren't

It's another hot and muggy day in the Ozarks and what better way to cool off than a dip in the pool!! The kids love diving for pool toys!! Here's @mikeyatez's daughter skyla after finding one! Bash approves!!

For todays #wideopendaily I have an interesting object for your viewing pleasure!! We purchased a house in town from and elderly lady and this was one of the things that she left behind when she moved!

Today I was reunited with an old friend of mine that I haven't seen for a very long time!!! It's been floating around our local highschool for many many years now... @rockchickjen's oldest son was the

Today I wasn't feeling up for walking around searching for something interesting to photograph so I remembered that we had this cool old video camera that belonged to @melodyrussell's dad!!! I had never

For todays #wideopendaily I have a few more shots from our garden and walking around taking pictures of whatever caught my eye! Believe it or not these tomato plants are from seeds that are from the 1960's!!!

Today I have my very first desaturated #wideopendaily post!! It was dark when we got home this evening from our trip to Springfield and Ozark to get a couple 'new' (to us) kayaks and lets just say that

Today we had a nice popup thunderstorm and about an hour of hard rain!! Before it even stopped raining the sun popped out and we had about 15 minutes of what I like to call sunrain.... After it stopped
