Why we wear gloves

Posted By Rob / October, 25, 2011 / 2 comments

I know a lot of people that do outside chores without gloves. Today, I’d like to share why we wear gloves (and, yes, I was). These are two completely unedited photos captured with the iPhone 4. The abdomen of this guy is about the size of a dime and that orange is almost a blaze/hunter’s…

American Sweetgum

Before moving, I never really knew what a sweetgum tree was. I know I’ve seen them before and know I’ve seen their spiney little “fruits” that they drop but never knew that it was a sweetgum tree. Now I have a massive one in front of my house, so I doubt I’ll ever forget. It’s…

Having moved to the country, there has been a great opportunity to see a lot of sky. I know I lived in the country before I moved to our current home, but it’s different. I can take a look around the horizon and get at 270 degrees of view and not see a man-made structure….

This past weekend was a little tricky with the weather. Out one window you’d see the sun shining with blue sky; out the other – dark clouds that spelled disaster for any hope for an outdoor activity. We decided to chance it and go to the Moon Dancer Winery for some acoustic guitar (and of…

Rainy Day Tobacco

After one of the walks around our new “block”, I was surprised to see that we have some tobacco growing near us – right next door. Not an uncommon scene around Lancaster County really, but these rows are tucked in between corn fields. Nicotine corn? Hopefully not, but I have been really craving corn this…

Playing around with some lighting gear… Usable for stock? I had several variations of layout, but liked the circle and straight line the best…
