Sandi and I went to Montrose to help Jeff and Leta paint their house and do some grading with the Bobcat. It was a fun day that culminated with dutch-oven ribs server outside under a beautiful sunset. The image below was taken looking almost straight up as the sun...

Summer was mild, then we had a cold snap in early October with freezing temps, but since then it has been a beautiful fall season. Let's hope for a normal mild Delta winter.

Despite the inactivity here on the site, we did indeed celebrate both Christmas and New Years. Matt, Brandy and the boys arrived on Christmas afternoon, followed shortly thereafter by Jeff and Leta. We enjoyed a fantastic Prime Rib dinner and were joined by Jim and...

2nd Cutting, Sub Par

We need more water in several areas of the field. This fall we're going to mark it heavily to promote water flow and fertilize. Rest time after watching our neighbor cut and bale it. Watching is tough work!

Unless otherwise noted, all photos are taken with my iPhone and post-processed with iPhone applications. I seldom carry my Canon 20D anymore except in situations where I need to use the big 400mm telephoto lens.

This isn't a real pic, it is actually two pics taken with my iPhone while the horses were sleeping one morning recently. I stitched them together using the iPhone app Auto Stitch, cropped and framed them with the app Photogene, and added the lightning with the app...

Night shot iPhone 6 Plus, grainy but nailed the shot.

I really like ProCamera. It is easy to use but has depth, allowing lots of control including separate exposure and focus points, shutter or ISO priority and bracketing. I'll be trying some even darker night shpts soon. Adjustments in Lightroom 5 include crop,...

Well, the judge in the NCT bankruptcy case ruled that our reorganization plan and auction should move forward as presented in our motion. He apparently did not buy the argument that the parent company or current management (moi) allowed our personal stakes in the...

Christmas season has started

by up10ad | Thu Dec 3, 2009 | All (Home), Me! | 0 Comments

I thought I'd launch the season with a pic taken in 2004 or 2005. I dressed up as Santa at the NC Telecom offices and greeted kids and adults alike. Bad Santa.
