Some Photos from Around the Yard (In Black and White)

-

I have wanted to get out with my camera for a couple weeks now, but the weather never seems to cooperate whenever I have time. Today wasn't any different but I decided to brave the chill, damp wind and darkened skies long enough to do a little photography, even if it was just in my yard.

The photos aren't my best, I'm a little out of practice and always did struggle a bit when the light is limited. I am also experimenting a bit with black-and-white photography. No real reason other than it's a throwback to my days as a journalist (many, many years ago), when photos were taken in black-and-white 35mm and developed in a dark room.

Anyway, here's the best of the bunch.

Camera: Kodak AZ425

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when ...
