Some shots from last summer...

Birds that I have known

Some birds that have visited our backyard, and one that was spending some time in a pond near where I work. 

Photographer to the Stars!

--------------

Here are some star shots I've taken over the last year that I particularly like.

Orion visible through the trees in my backyard.

More Orion...

Star trails: The house in the picture is across the street. This was
taken over a period of about 1/2 hour.

February Jackson Visit!

A belated Christmas gathering for some of us took place in Jackson on February 17. A good time was had by all, helped along by fun hats and organ pipes.

Four birthdays were celebrated, and the years for all four birthdays
are correctly noted in the candle configuration. Candle design by J.

I call this one "The Saddest Patriot"

Happy patriots!

When you're at mom and dad's house, you're never more
than a foot or two away from someone with musical talent.

Hi mom!

John reflects on things while listening to the flute music.

Mary says "OK, one shot, but no more."

2017: The Year In Pictures

Here are a few pictures (in no particular order) from 2017. You may have seen most of these before, but they sum up what the boys have been doing, plus a few extras.

Peaceful evening in Frankfort

Not-so-peaceful evening at Frankfort

Back bend!

Christmas day found a few of us unexpectedly away from home.
Here's a view from our room on the 8th floor. 

All of us at The DEB Log wish you a happy and healthy 2018!

Fall Update: K Edition

---

Between orchestra and tennis, K has had a very crammed fall season. Here are some pictures from that time.

K hits a backhand shot at a match in Monroe.

K serves in a match in Bedford.

Before a recent orchestra concert starts, K seems to be
enjoying himself. I didn't have a very good view
of him during most of the concert, unfortunately. 

K and his doubles partner consult with the JV tennis
coach during a tournament at Pioneer. The tournament
was September 23 and the temperature topped 90 degrees. 

After the really hot tournament, the JV players who were part of the
match that day posed for a team picture.

K is on his way to the homecoming dance...
