I’m kinda proud of this one. I think the colors are near perfect and the composition certainly embraces the title. The original inspiration was from a photo I took while we were living in New Jersey. Continue reading MME34 – Lighthouse Lens
I don’t know why I haven’t included this photo in my CLA portfolio. But then again, I don’t know why I put anything in my CLA portfolio. It was taken in Louisville, KY in2010. That’s me and my wife trapped … Continue reading MME3 – Odd One Out Reflections
These eight little ducklings along with their mother took up residence in my RetCom pond about a month ago. For some reason, they are now down to just five. That’s kinda sad. Continue reading MME43 – Innocent Little Ducklings…
Old barns like this one are quickly vanishing from the American landscape. The photo behind this inspiration was taken in 2010. I wonder if it is still there. Continue reading MME44 – Barn In The Bushes
In the early 1960s I lived in a small rural town that actually had one of these switchboards. I remember sitting in the operator’s office to eat during a high school lunch break. For the most part, she just sat … Continue reading MME45 – The Switchboard
I have a portfolio of 35 State House complexes across the U.S. This one is from Des Moines, Iowa. I must admit that for the most part, one state house looks mostly like the next. Most are lavish buildings prompted … Continue reading MME37 – Iowa State House…
I never get tired of looking at all my lamp post shots from the homestead. This one was taken in 2011 in an early spring ice storm. I have been in my RetCom for almost 4 years now and really … Continue reading MME23 – Icy Spring Storm
In my travels through hundreds of museums, I have discovered that I have an affinity for shadows. I just love how this one bird sculpture becomes several just through lighting. Continue reading MME10 – Bird(s) Aflight
It’s hard to believe that this is a real house in Colorado. Continue reading MME17 – It’s Hard To Believe…
The source photo for this image was taken during our month long trip to Canada in 2011. We in the U.S. call them cattails. To Canadians they are just reeds. But either way, I think the artsification turned out beautiful. … Continue reading MME36 – Artsified Reeds
I had seen the Pacific Ocean several times before our 2008 Western vacation, but it was just a glimpse here and there during business trips. This was the first time I really saw the ocean. We spent about a week … Continue reading MME19 – Pacific Panoramic

It’s that time of year again in the Midwest for those beautiful yellow flowers that morph into an amazing white crystal orb.

CLA – 27 I have been away from RJsCorner for much of the last 4 weeks with some health issues. Nothing life-threatening but very annoying. I am pretty much recovered but still not back to 100%. I really missed my … Continue reading Artsy Dry Spell
Another quick view of the most peaceful place to visit. That is, Pleasant Hill Shaker Village near Lexington, KY. Every time I visit there I can almost hear all the people who have lived there over the years. Continue reading MME35 – The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
I have had one piece of glass in my collection for more years than I can remember. It is a 4″ clear globe that, like chameleons, changes depending on where it is placed. You would never guess that this picture … Continue reading MME29 – The Eternal Glass Bulb..
