Joel Dinda's photos

I spent July 3, 1993, planting several dozen lily bulbs in a bed I'd made behind the garage. When Joan joined the household, the Shasta Daisies came along from her old place. This was the delightful result. The picture dates from July of 1997. The flowers were wonderful, but it was difficult to keep the weeds under control. So a few years ago we transplanted some of the flowers and tore out the rest. This plot is now part of Joan's vegetable garden. I already showed you the Sprouts. A good trade....

A couple miles east of my home.

Still another pic from Sunday's visit to the Bennett farm. It was a great day.

Another picture I took last Sunday. This structure is on the Bennett place, behind the house.

Another Upper Peninsula State Park. Fayette's Michigan's best ghost town; just an incredibly photogenic place, built around a reasonably intact charcoal blast furnace complex. Photo taken in June of 1998. The stone building in the foreground is the ruin of the company store and warehouse. The wooden structure served, among other things, as town hall and opera house. Camera: Nikon N90s

I start looking for Crocuses in late February. While we've had them as early as February 26, this year we had our first open flower on March 26. Welcome! Glad to see you! Bring your friends!

Camera: Chinon Genesis III Ducks, on the pond at Meijer Gardens, on a grey day in 1997.

All dressed up; no place to go.... Leaving Nam, 1971: A bunch of strangers, and a few friends, waiting for the Freedom Bird to take us home to the States. In my experience, Cam Ranh Bay was sand, cheap shacks, and lots of G.I.s. My Vietnam near-year started at Cam Ranh on January 30; it ended at the same post on December 15. One of my very favorite pictures. Camera: Minolta SR-T 101. Updated to newer scan 11/27/05. Unfortunately, both the only existing print and the negative are damaged beyond my ability to fully repair them. Added to Cream of the Crop as my (current) personal favorite picture 1/8/06. Explored #22 (7/23/2007) on Flickr. Thanks, everyone!

Mom--Hattie Dinda--liked lighthouse pictures. I was trying to capture a sense of the large, open room at the heart of Mom's house. The light was perfect....
