Henry shares some beautiful (a poor adjective in this instance) images from his recent trip to Colorado, where he concentrated on Lichen and of the Aspen trees.
“At first glance the colors of the skies, leaves and lichen appear to be too saturated to me, but that is the color they were.”
You’ll also find some amazing new images at Henry’s website.
“…perhaps the answer is simply one:
one female angel dancing alone in her stocking feet,
a small jazz combo working in the background.

City folks just don’t get it! That’s the tagline for FarmersOnly.com, the online dating service for “sincere, down-to-earth people who respect and chesrish the rural lifestyle.” It’s the brainchild of Jerry Miller and the site appears to be red-hot. Getting lots of MSM coverage.
I spoke briefly with Jerry this afternoon. Andrew McCrea did an interview with Jerry (AUDIO: 4 min MP3) and he wanted to take a listen. How good is his idea? He’s been contacted by the producers of American Idol in connection with a new reality show they’re developing that sounds like “Who Wants to Marry A Farmer?” They want to tap Jerry’s database. I do NOT doubt the folks behind American Idol.
This is what I love about the web. There are lots of online dating services and match-makers but Jerry saw an unfilled niche and ran with it.
Photographer and digital artist Henry Domke has added 88 new images (taken on his Prairie Garden Trust property) to his website. You can buy some of Henry’s prints as large as 4 x 9 feet and prices start around $275. Caution: After viewing these, you’ll want to sell your camera.
I’ve been thinking a lot about advertising these days. Radio advertising in particular. I have met hundreds of radio sales people during the past 30+ years. My father sold for many years.
Cliff Birklund (I don’t remember how Cliff spelled his name) was hired to do news at KBOA but eventually moved into sales. In a previous life, he was a commercial artist and I’ll never forgive myself for not saving more of his doodles. This one is a classic (have I posted this before?) but I’ve always liked this self-portrait.
Update: Bob Heater asks how Cliff could have –in 1978– doodled something on a 1989 calendar page. I left KBOA in 1984 so I must have salvaged the drawing on a later visit to Kennett.
Like Dilbert, I routinely delete any email that has a subject of: Urgent, Hey!, Yo! Stuff. If you don’t care enough to provide a useful subject line, I don’t care enough to open your email.
Sterling Newberry believes “blogging is the rock and roll of this decade: the place of energy and expression.”
Dylan Sisson resides in Seattle, where he draws and paints wall-eyed curiosities with big teeth. I fell in love with one of his images and reached out to see if he had plans to make it available as a poster.
He was kind enough to add the image and I purchased immediately. Don’t know if it’s still available but I like having it on my wall.
I’m becoming a big fan of flicker, the online photo site. Check out Least Wanted for some fascinating mug shots, including the one above. “Involved in a cutting scrape with Wm. Merrie – allegedly fighting over women.” Caution: There are more than 400 of these and it’s hard to do just one. I vow to upload all of my photos if it takes the rest of my days.
