As of today, I’ll be posting all new content on www.timstreetphoto.com. The site isn’t 100% complete, but it is set up to house all the photos of the day. I’m still working on the portfolio section of the new site. Please change your subscriptions accordingly – there’s an RSS subscription link at the top of [...]

55 and 61

Another farm shot – this is 55 and 61, two of the twenty-something cows currently living the life at Schacht Farm. They’re incredibly happy right now because two days ago they were finally released from their winter pasture to start enjoying the spring grasses again.

55 is also the friendliest cow I’ve ever seen. He’ll constantly come up to you as you’re working, wanting your attention.

POTD: Spring on Campus

Tim — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 02:23:41 +0000

Today I realized that I’m in my last month of being a student at Indiana University – I need to take pictures of this beautiful campus while I still have the chance.

Easter Sunday. Went for a five mile trail run in Morgan Monroe State Forest, and on the way home saw this beautiful barn.

Forgive the mess. I’m updating the site and getting ready to migrate it to a new URL. It should be settled again in a few days!

Photo of the Day: Farmer’s Market

Today is the inaugural Saturday of the 2010 outdoor farmer’s market in Bloomington. The stalls weren’t quite as full as they normally are, and instead of produce and vegetables there were lots of flowers.

Photo of the Day: Coyote

Sarah and I took a walk in the woods near our apartment tonight … and saw a coyote. It spotted us immediately, considered us, then slinked off into the woods. I barely had time to get my camera out and snap this picture as it made its getaway. At first, we thought maybe it was just a dog – but its appearance, behavior, and tracks certainly confirm that it was a coyote.

… almost Easter

A partial repost from a year ago. I love this phrase so much I just wanted to promulgate it some more:

In France, when Easter is celebrated, there is a common phrase that is proclaimed in cathedrals, shared on sidewalks, spraypainted on walls and plastered on streetlights.

l’amour de Dieu est folie!

The love of God is foolish!

What a great phrase. Why don’t we have anything like it here?

Now, we know God is infinitely wise and omnipotent. It’s a bit odd to call him foolish, isn’t it? It’s simply foolish because we can’t possibly fathom or understand God’s love for us. We are broken, sinful creatures, yet God loves us. Magnificently. Spectacularly. Undeservedly. And I can think of no better time to proclaim the glory of God’s foolish love for his creation than on Easter, the day of Christ’s resurrection and victory over death.

1 Corinthians says it better than I ever could.

“For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”

Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

- 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 (ESV)

Happy Easter!
