Afghan Shepherd Boys


These little boogers would follow us around and pick up all of our expended brass and take it to the foundry for money to feed their families.  They liked to hang out and examine all of our equipment and our big trucks.  And they LOVED to be in pictures.

Kunduz Province, Afghanistan


Except for all of the people trying to kill you, Afghanistan is a very beautiful place.

Afghan kids

These goslings were pretty curious about me, but the mama goose wouldn't let me get too close

Happy Veteran's Day

I believe this is called a cuttle fish



To a little Nebraska boy like me, the ocean is full of really weird creatures.  My buddy Joe caught this in his cast net.

Nebraska



Something romantic about the enormous Nebraska sky over a gravel road


Sneaking up on alligators is much easier if they have a bad eye like this guy did.

This is a Lubber Grasshopper.  They're about as big as a piece of sidewalk chalk, but not nearly as charming.
