July 4th was a beautiful summer day, a good day for a parade. Here are some bagpipers who are ready to share their music with the crowds assembled for the parade.  These are cowboys who do regular shoot outs at Fantasy Island, an amusement park in Grand Island.

On Tuesday, December 15th, I took a picture of ornaments on the Christmas tree at the Grand Island Dance Center. This tree has a golden tinge that glows nicely.

After working at this library for 32 years, Lynn is retiring. When he was first appointed as the librarian here in Grand Island, the library was located in a

Monday, November 16th was a sunny warm late autumn day. It was a good day for yard work. I went to Jean’s house to rake the leaves, which were plentiful because she and her husband Paul have a very tall red oak tree in the yard. The winds of the previous week blew down the

A bit late… my update for week sixteen of my 366-day photography project. On Monday, November 16th, the weather was delightfully mild. I took a walk to the cemetery. I visited my father’s grave and I walked around the cemetery.  Whitehaven Cemetery is a peaceful place in the woods. It is a good place for

Monday, November 9th, was a gorgeous and glorious day. The sun was shining brightly on this pleasant, late autumn day. It was a good day to take a long walk. I walked to the cemetery where my dad is buried and then returned home, a distance of approximately eleven miles.  Here I am, ready for
