Yellowstone National Park

When I was looking at your photo I wondered if the horizon was actually level but due to the change in terrain made it look uneven. Not having another point of reference to check level against, which would indicate it's more of an optical illusion than being uneven, I would level the picture to...

Photos not level. Right side needs to come up. Cloudless sky can be tough! When I shoot a sunset I never trust the metering because there is such a dramatic light shift from the setting area to the up close overhead. I like to shoot a couple test shots to dial it in by my eye so that my...

Day 236, 2013 - Profile Trying a little artsy creative. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 1. Which do you prefer, sharp or soft? 2. Why do you like that one? 3. Or... just scrap it! You're so far off the mark there is no saving you. Personally, I like the softened one. My daughter...

Day 235, 2013 - Eggs? Salt water aquariums are such a mystery. From time-to-time there are always new critters and things that just show up. In the years we've had the aquarium we have never seen this before.

Day 234, 2013 - Closing Storm Shot this storm closing on the setting sun.

Tree Flowers

Day 233, 2013 - Tree Flowers This flowering tree is spectacular. I wish it wasn't jammed in between things so that I could take a shot of the whole of the tree. Instead, I will just focus in on a small part.

Latest graveyard mystery logo. The saying is quickly traced back to unions. However, the logo I have not been able to place. Of course it could be something generic that the family members had the saying put on. Familiar to anyone? Ellis J. Rees May 1, 1915 - June 29, 1972

Day 232, 2013 - 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Another coin shot.

Captured this one of a holy man leading an Asian family out to a grave site for a prayer or something. It was interesting to hear the chant and interesting to watch respectfully from a distance.

Day 231, 2013 - 1831 Large Cent I was previously unaware of the existence of this coin until a couple weeks ago when my mother came to visit. It is called the American Large Cent - a penny. This coin is so large an American quarter fits inside the outer ribbed ring showing on the face. Front...

Color of the day is green. ​

Continued... I got my eye on you! Katydid Eye

Continued... Day 230 - Catydid Not sure what it is with green bugs presenting themselves to me, but here is a Katydid.

The answer has been found! It is the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers. We went back out to the grave and retrieved the name. Examining the backside of the cylinder you can see the old adhesive telling as we suspected the stone had been rotated and placed incorrectly in the...

Day 230, 2013 - 0015 in the morning bug Up researching some genealogy stuff with my mother when this colorful bug landed on the door. Ran outside to get its picture as it was moving really quickly. No idea what it is although I'm sure someone around here does.

This one is the greatest mystery. It was a cylinder stone resting in a cradle. The rock was a red granular rock. The ends of the stone/cylinder were made to look like chipped rock while the sides were polished. This symbol was on the underside quarter and the only one we found. I don't know if...

Here is a Woodman of the World tombstone. The "broken" branches, I would call cut, may symbolize other family members. There is other WOW symbology on this one such as the vines. Here is the close up of the placard. It reads: The monarch of the wood sinks prone The axeman's sturdy blows...

Here is a tombstone for one of the "Woodman of the World" (WOW). There are a number of various tombstones from the WOW, but this one is different from all the others and has a cube on top that we can't find meaning too. It could mean nothing, but nothing on this stone matches correctly with all...
