About me

I've been a computer programmer since I first started typing in program listings on a Commodore Vic 20 when I was about 8. My hobbies include electronics, CNC manufacturing, photography, beer and winemaking.

I live with my wife and lots of left-over parts from unfinished projects in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.]

Goslings sleeping

Here are a few of the things that caught my eye on our second visit to the Frankfurt Palmengarten (botanical garden).

The photos that were the most fun to take were the goslings; I was surprised that the parents (who were right nearby) didn't take much notice of me, even when I got within 2-3 feet of their babies! The little ones barely noticed me either. I took 200 images of them alone, so it was hard picking just 3 to show here.

Moth on flower

We took a trip to the Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha today. Here are a few of my photos. Apparently I've done about 6600 shutter releases on the camera I bought this spring--wow!

Bumble bee on globe thistle

Ingrid invited me out to take a picture of a moth. By the time I grabbed and reassembled my camera, the moth was gone--but I took some other photos of plants and insects.
