As you enter Wisconsin on I-90 from the south, you are welcomed by this large wooden sign.

#DailyPictureTheme #Dome

Took this back in 2019 of fireworks in Carson City, NV, from the foothills just below 'C' hill. You can clearly see the dome of the Nevada State Capital building, which made for a nice pic!

Firework exploding in the night sky, with lights from the city and the dome of the State capital building visible along the bottom of the frame.

#DailyPictureTheme #Guard #DogsOfSpoutible

Our home security system includes this scary-looking dude, Stuart. He has scared some folks with his loud barking and pitbull features, but around us, he's a big marshmallow.

#DailyPictureTheme #Arrow

There are times when you should follow the arrows and stay within the lines, and there are times when you shouldn't.

#DailyPictureTheme #Etch

Just took this pic of one of my wife's glass etching creations from a used bottle. Nicely decorated with a Siamese fighting fish, blue light for illumination.

#DailyPictureTheme #Sun #LakeTahoe

A quick shot with a very wide lens (fisheye) with the sun directly in frame, taken many years ago. Later I learned this is not an intelligent thing to do with a camera in midday sunlight. 😞

Sun in the sky shining over a beautiful lake, with driftwood and sand in the foreground.

#DailyPictureTheme #Amuse #CarsonCityNV

This little horse amused us quite a bit with its antics near the fence line of its owner's property in west Carson City, NV. I got some pretty cute pics of it!

#DailyPictureTheme #Focus

A little late today, working an ancestry photo project. Focus is definitely an important topic for photographers of all stripes. When it's more than just a clear picture, it can be where the focus is that matters, what's called depth of field. See alt text.

#DailyPictureTheme #Art

My wife and I used to buy old beat up antique furniture, I would repair it, and then she would repaint it artistically. It was a lot of fun, and maybe we'll start doing it again once we're finally able to leave North Carolina.

Start my day with Metronet taking a dump here in the Fayetteville suburbs. Neat. Cell service only, at least temporarily. #Metronet #DownDetector

#DailyPictureTheme #Curl

Through an ultra wide angle lens, the earth curls as it moves from the center of the lens. Flat earthers would definitely not approve! Taken walking down main street in Carson City, Nevada a few years back.

#DailyPictureTheme #Open #Wisconsin

We were glad Connie's Diner was open, it's only open for breakfast and lunch M-Sat. This is a small old-fashioned American diner on S. Main Street in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. Took us back MANY years, to when we were little kids.

#DailyPictureTheme #Hiatus #Freestyle

Here's an odd pic that made me laugh. Took it somewhere in either Montana or North Dakota in a parking lot. Really creative!

#DailyPictureTheme #Travel #Asheville

Went on a brief hiatus ourselves last week, to Asheville NC. Nice place, foodie heaven, old architecture, lots of hills. Reminded me of Seattle, WA.

#DailyPictureTheme #Asheville #Empty

From our trip to Asheville, NC this week. A virtually empty mall at 10am, with some beautiful architecture. The building though the skylight caught my eye.

Back when I made cat towers, I got the idea to make a cat tower/cat bed, look like a Torii gate.

#DailyPictureTheme #Caution #CarsonCity

I worked in the Kinkead building for a decade. Each of the floors sloped from the outside to the inside of the building an inch or two. It was very unsafe and finally demolished in 2017. I took this pic during the demolition.

#DailyPictureTheme #Lamp #GraysHarborWA

Closeup of a lighthouse lamp, with an silly reflection of me holding my iPhone. This was back in 2017 (before I got more serious about photography), at Gray's Harbor lighthouse in Westport, WA. You can see the lamp inside.
