Wildlife photography is easy when they just come hang out at your house. We've had a juvenile Cooper's hawk perching the last couple of days looking for a meal!

It's been a crazy couple of weeks, but I've finally started to get around to the +1000 (mostly bad) photos between my camera and drone.

This small collection is of a Plymouth GTX from the recent Ackley Show & Shine! This was the first time I've ever shot cars, which was a neat learning experience!

This cow was not at all afraid of our drones, in fact, she was very curious. 🐄🐮

This past Sunday we said goodbye to the church where my wife and I got married and our two oldest children were baptized, as East Friesland Presbyterian Church held its final worship service.

We may have only been there for 5 years, but East and its congregants quickly became home. Thank you, East Friesland.
