Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Photo Blogging Challenge (August 2018): Photographer’s Choice

September 3, 2018

Another month and … late.

Hello back to reality!

Are  you like me in that when you have a vacation, you need one when you get home? Holy … I need another just to sleep!

But that’s of no worry to others!

I took a trip to Iowa — yes, Iowa — for some baseball and geocaching and some fun. It was an enjoyable trip, but it was at the end of the month, so I didn’t have this post up. Therefore, the beauty is … I can use photos from the trip.

So let me get this up and rolling. Here are my five for the month!

1. Delhi!

In the early 1990s, a couple of us had started to make a trip to Delhi, Iowa. It’s the sister city to my hometown. It’s a small town and I had wanted to visit. Alas, car troubles made it so we had to turn around. Fast forward some 15 years later and look where I finally got to visit …

 

2. Ring ring …

Here is something you don’t see often …

 

3. Above the clouds

One of the best things about flying …

 

 

4. Movie prop

When in Iowa for a baseball trip… who isn’t going to Field of Dreams? And if you remember this part from the movie… the bleacher set is still there. Way too cool!

 

 

5. Quite the cache!

Yes, this was part of a gadget geocache! Very well done!

 

There are my five. I look forward to seeing what everybody else came up with!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below. And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!). Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too!

Also, don’t forget to get back here in the next day or so for the September theme!

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

    No wonder you’re not blogging much…you’re too busy enjoying life and going on adventures! So funny to read about your failed visit to New Delhi 15 years ago. That geocache is intriguing. Always good to read about something other than a plain old micro in a tree.

      while that may be true, I do miss the aspect of blogging because I like having a place to put some memories and such!

Self care is important. With work as stressful as Self care is important. With work as stressful as it usually is during this month, the little things can help you relax. I went this morning for a beard trim. It’s only 30-40 minutes, but it’s nice to have it done. A nice shaping, thinning it out a bit, a hot towel and a straight razor. 

Nice. 

In the world in which we live, little things like this can really be good for you. Maybe it’s a massage. Maybe it’s a therapy session. Maybe it’s a trip to the barber shop. But take care of yourself. It’s important. 

And if you are in my area and need a trim or whatever — check out Chris (@studio11chris ) at @studio11barbersuite in Oneonta. Well worth it!

The only one I truly am sad I missed buying was a limited edition one for the Asher House sometime last year. I waited and lost out. But, she has her collection and I am sure it will keep growing. There are ones she has outside as well!

Sunday was a day with some errands and such, but a Sunday was a day with some errands and such, but also a nice walk on the Vestal Rail Trail. Harper loved it, of course, especially because she got to also walk with her "Gram!"

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
