Since my 'forced' retirement on June 23rd, 2005, I'm trying to build an 'at home' business via the Internet and learning more about using my digital camera, eh!! The picture is of ME & Kathy, my wife who's one bad ass Quilter!! We will be adding some of her handiwork too. I'd love to hear from computer & graphics people so I can learn more and we'd both love to hear from Quilters too!!

Cars, Bikes, Clouds, Thunderheads, Deer, Rattlers, Lizzards, Flowers, Mt Scenery and more



Hi Everyone,

I'm using a 'new' style of slide show which has 6 individual slide shows within the Primary Slide Show. So be sure to check out the menu in the heading, because you will be able to
view/change slide shows by using 'Album', change the 'View' if you don't like the default of my 'Carousel' and change the background coloring under 'Theme'. Remember that you can view larger pictures by using the 'icon' on the upper right side of the slide show OR hitting the F11 key OR if you change the 'View' to 'Framed Slide Show'. Hope you can find the time to go check out all of my pictures and hope you enjoy them too, eh!! '-))

If you do view this slide show, I would appreciate your feedback with any thoughts you might have on my using this style of multiple slide show in the future, whether pro or con!! Honest!! '-)) Just send me an email to: blkeef@gmail.com?subject=FILTER_MultipleSlideShows

Storm Clouds, Rain, Hail, Flowers, Butterflies, Moths. Custom Rod


Hi Everyone,

I just updated my Blog with a variety of pictures and most had captions to tell you why I took a certain shot. Then I moved some of the pictures around, viewed the slide show and everything was ok. But when I tried viewing the slide show on the web it was just a blank screen!! So I deleted that slide show, remade it using the same date as the file name and everything is working AOK!! BUT, I didn't want to take the time to add all those comments again. So if any of you have any questions about any of the shots, just send me an email and state the file name(s), eh!! '-))

For those of you with a hi-speed connection here's a short video of some heavy raining AND hailing too!! Got a shot of Kathy, her brother and 2 out of 3 sisters, that came up for a quick lunch and a couple shots of my brother and his wife Annette that stopped by to check up on us, while they were up here in town for a funeral. Also, I got in a couple rides to town on my bike, even tho I got rained on a bit, eh!! Hope you enjoy all the pictures!!

Clouds, Sunsets, Thunderheads, Bikes, Panoramas


Hi Everyone,

Since I've been busy taking pictures and not getting them uploaded to my Blog, there is about 126 shots and a wide variety of subjects. I was going to separate the pictures into 3 different slide shows and that would take even more of my time, so they are all in this one slide show, eh!! Just take your time and view it when you have time, because I don't want you to miss anything, you hear.

For all you Quilters, all of the quilt pictures are all together. So when the slide show starts, just click on the pause button, then scroll along the thumbnail pictures at the bottom till you see the first quilt. Then you can turn the slide show back on or keep viewing them one at a time. Your choice, eh!!

Spring Flowers, Motorcycles, Melting Snow, Main Street Shots


Hi Everyone,

I've been taking more photos and learning more about my camera and some of the many, many settings. So now the majority of my shots look on my computer, like what I see with my eyes. Luckily for you, my slide show has only 215 of the hundreds of shots that I've taken since last post, eh!! '-))

Spring Snow, Rain, Buds, Blooms, Growth, Old Barn, Clouds, Sunshine,


Hi Everyone,

Spring is starting to show all around us here now, so I've been taking shots of all the new buds, blooms and growth in general. I'm not able to get out my bike more often too, so that's really nice because I love riding to town on my bike instead of needing to use the car or truck because of the snowy/rainy weather, eh!! ;-)) Just check out the slide show and I hope you enjoy all the shots!!

I have a couple photos of a tiny happening we had one day with some really high winds that blew off a double folded tarp that was covering a make shift wood rack for some of my fire wood, that was being held down with a couple 2x4's and a piece of metal roofing. I also added a couple more of my 'paused' pictures and a more shots from a different angle thru the trees of our old barn that is slowly falling apart. I also added copies of our local Senior Center's Newsletter, The Bugle, as it has some good advice everyone should read, eh!!

Clouds, Jet Trails, Snow, Custom Painted Harley, Paused Pictures, Sparrows


Hi Everyone,

I'm a little slow in getting around to this latest UPDATE, but with all this early Spring weather we've been getting, I've been outside more hauling in wood, not shoveling snow, and getting to ride my bike more!! ;-)) Then I've been taking more 'test' shots still trying to learn more about my camera. But this weekend I've been real busy editing what I want to use and they are uploading to my Blog as I type. Click here to see the slide show, eh!!

Ok, when you get to the beautiful Blue/White Custom Painted Harley, then listen to what the owner told me. When his folks died they were cremated and he had the Urn's with their ashes. He had an idea, but didn't know if it could be done, until he talked to the guy that painted the bitchin' paint job on his HD. I gave him my card and he said he'd email me the full story after he got back home in Los Angeles, CA. But here's the short version from me. He wanted to have the ashes incorperated into the paint, so he could take his mom/dad with him on all of his rides, eh!! So if you look really close in any of the paint, blue, white, skulls and all, you may be able to see something that doesn't exactly look like metal flake or firemist, like I used to paint and that just may be some of his folk's ashes, eh!! I'm taking him at his word. '-))
