From Super Moon to Spooky Moon

By Jim | Published March 27, 2019

My previous post featured the last Super Moon of 2019, as it rose above a lakeside home at the Lake of the Ozarks (MO).  As I mentioned in that post, the day was cloudy and rainy until a short time before moonrise, when the sky cleared. But after the moon rose higher in the sky, […]

By Jim | Published March 25, 2019

During last week’s final Super Moon of the year, I was at the Lake of the Ozarks to photograph this event. My previous attempt at this location was unsuccessful, due to heavy clouds.

Old Swinging Bridge

By Jim | Published March 11, 2019

Today’s post was captured back in December, while exploring the area around the Lake of the Ozarks. This “old swinging bridge” was located in a very rural area of the lake. Although this is not a true nature photograph, I really love the design of this old bridge … wonder what it would look like […]

I received an email from a “hacker”, informing me that my website had been hacked and I was being extorted for $$. Well, taking this seriously, I decided to not post anything […]
