Over the River – Time-Lapse

Clouds are moving over the Mississippi River near St. Louis.

I shot this time-lapse video yesterday to test the time-lapse capability of the Drift Ghost Camera.  It covers about two and a half hours of real time in 36 seconds.  Shot at 5 second intervals.  I didn’t have it set up level for [...]

Happy Birthday Dave

Today is my son’s 44th  birthday.  He’s really getting old!

 Here’s a picture of him sitting on Grandpa’s old tractor. He was about 5 or 6 when this was taken.

A stereotypical teenage spring-break

My grandson is one of several ‘actors’ in this video produced by a budding young videographer named Tyler.  As the title says it’s all about a stereotypical spring-break as experienced by some high schoolers. 

Appearing are Lexi, Austin, Seth, Kyle, Justin and Tyler.   I know all these kids and they’re really good kids.

B&P Turns 11

It was eleven years ago yesterday that the very first post  appeared on Bits & Pieces.  It’s been a wild ride at times.  I’ve posted some interesting, weird and funny things along the way… many of which you’ve contributed.  Thank you.!

I’ve met a lot of interesting people, both online and in person.  I’ve heeded [...]

I’ve joined a gym…

Do I have to go there now? Wasn’t joining enough?

On my doctor’s advice I’ve joined a gym.  He’s told me that I need to exercise. Since I’ve cut out most sugar from my diet I’ve lost about fifteen pounds and now weigh less than I have for the last 40 years. I’m hovering at just over 180 [...]

Happy 101st Birthday Dad

My dad would have turned 101 today if was still alive.  He died in 1990 at the age of 78.  Dad worked for a company in St. Louis that made asbestos shingles for 35 years.  The man who had never been sick in his life that I know of, had a heart attack in 1971 while [...]

Rainbow Over the River

 

I took these photos moments ago from my back porch overlooking the Mississippi River.

  

The photos are direct from the camera and not shopped at all.  I couldn’t get back far enough to get the whole rainbow in one shot.  Click to enlarge.

A barge travels downriver under the rainbow.  [...]
