Kurt Leucht’s Blog

The boys a few months ago noticed a cool spider web in our back yard. One morning while the morning dew was still clinging to the web, I went out and took some photos of the spider making its web. I got some decent photos. They can be viewed at the leucht.com image gallery (http://www.leucht.com/photos/main.php) under the nature category (http://www.leucht.com/photos/main.php?g2_itemId=455)

Why would a family website like leucht.com open up an online store? Well, I’m sort of a geek if you hadn’t figured that out already. What kind of merchandise is offered at this online store? I have a whole suite of Dee Mack Class of 1988 related merchandise, including the famous 20 year reunion DVD and various refrigerator magnets and photo prints.

I also have a DVD full of old silent movies that my grandfather, Kurt William Leucht, and the Peoria Cinema Club created back in the 1950′s. Then there are a whole bunch of different types of items with my almost famous lemon blossom photo emblazoned on them.

Then there are some books that we have written and have decided to share. And lastly but not leastly, we have some really cool t-shirts that proudly advertise for this fine family website. I make very little profit, if at all, from the sales of this merchandise. It’s mostly just for fun. Enjoy! Here is a link to the leucht.com online store.

The other day at work I saw an osprey sitting on a pole eating a fish, so I took some video of it and posted it on YouTube:

Ospreys are pretty common around here. Sometimes that are mistaken for bald eagles due to their white heads.

Tonight I set up a CafePress store to sell various merchandise with my lemon blossom photo professionally printed on them. Check it out! <http://www.cafepress.com/lemonblossom> There are mugs, tote bags, coasters, buttons, magnets, greeting cards, posters, and much more! These are the perfect gifts for that person in your life who already has everything!

I took this video using my pocket camera this afternoon. This was in Titusville, Florida at the river. I see these dolphins in this same area almost every day on my drive across the river while going to work. Today they were chasing fish along the seawall and doing a pretty good job of catching them. It’s kinda like shooting fish in a barrel! This video shows 2 dolphins, but there were at least 5 hanging around. Here’s the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxHExrZ9k4Q
