Ryan's "Not Looking"

Here's a friend (at a safe range way out in the hinterlands) not looking through the sights of a MAC-10:

Mike's "Not Looking"

Cory's Not Looking

Maddy wasn't looking while we were carving pumpkins over the weekend, so I snapped a quick shot of her cleaning hers out.

Next week: "Outside"

Due tomorrow: "Not Looking"

Cory's Pokey

A detail of the giant pokey cholla cactus in my front yard.

Loki in the pokey:

She was not particularly pleased to participate in WeeklyPhotography this week.

Mike's "Pokey"

I was wondering around the Old Market looking for something slow.
I came across this "old dude" in a reddish orange set of work clothes that made me wonder if he had just gotten out of "the pokey".  (mid right of frame)

Next week: "Not Looking"

"Pokey" due tomorrow.

Cory's Deep

We copied off of Mike and went to a pumpkin patch over the weekend.  While there we set baby Emily deeply within this cow's back so she could ride the cow train around the track.  I'm not sure this is how the original cowboys did it...

I took a trip down to Benson to see the people getting ready for the Zombie walk.

I didn't have time to go for the actual walk, because I had a date to go see ARGO with a couple of ladies, my wife and her friend.  Great movie.

This zombie is deeply interested in what is happening on her iPhone.  In fact, at this time of day, when the zombies are not in character, you see them doing all sorts of normal human things, though sometimes I think that the iPhone can turn you into a zombie.

I saw them using phones, eating pizza, using the bathrooms..

Fred's "Deep"

We finally got the tulip bulbs from Holland into the ground today.  The instructions say they should be buried 4 inches deep.

Next week: "Pokey"

"Deep"  is due tomorrow.

Cory's Fantasy

We built a playset in the back yard last summer, complete with a fantastic ship wheel I found at Goodwill.  Now Maddy uses it to live out her fantasies of travelling to the ocean, to the zoo, and to Trader Joe's.

This is one of my favorite statues in downtown St. Paul.

Mike's "Fantasy"

Another pic from Vala's last Sunday.  It's Sarpy County's own little fantasy land.

Last week I showed you some goats, but there is an awful lot going on there.  My kids are grown and I have not been there in years, but our company picnic was there and it was an excuse to act like a kid for a couple hours.

If you have time and $20, its a great place to take your camera.  There is stuff for everyone.  I like the pumpkin chucker, but I didn't stay long enough to see it in action.  Its basically a spud gun that would take up half your garage.

Next week: "Deep"

"Fantasy" is due tomorrow.

Ryan's "Elevated"

Grain must be elevated (by elevators, surprisingly enough) to the top of a silo to fill it.

This is a little silo just west of Millard, NE. There was once a little town around it, but not much remains. At one time I knew the name of the town, but I'm not having any luck with google...

Cory's Elevated

Down the street from my house are a few houses that are elevated several hundred feet above the canyon floor.  These are not back yards to play football in.

Mike's "Elevated"

Our company's picnic was at Vala's Pumpkin Patch this year.
Though I've only been there a few times now, I always love the goats that live on elevated walkways.  This one is probably about 8 feet in the air.

The Ford Pinto is elevated to the automotive status it rightly deserves.
