You know what scares me? My daughters (both of them) reactions to bees. Everything is calm, and suddenly a bee appears and you would swear a ten foot mass murderer just appeared and was chasing them down the street. All sense of rationalization goes right out the window; hands waving wildly, shouting, sheer panic. It … Continue reading »

Quick Shot
I have this game I used to play with the kids and their cameras in their phones. I’d be driving and I’d yell of a subject I’d see and they’d have to get a good picture of it. To do so, that’s turning the phone into camera mode, framing and shooting. The results of which … Continue reading »
Dust In The Wind
Every time I see a Cardinal it reminds me of a story I know, about a Cardinal like the one pictured above and a young boy. A brief encounter, an accident, and a boy changed forever, and afterwards this boy vowing to always be a champion for anything or anyone too small or incapable of … Continue reading »
Oh…Mexico
Found this pic from many years ago taken with my Nikon FE-2, scanned it into the computer and here it is. The water down there is truly this beautiful as are the ruins, and for me, Indiana Jone’s-like adventures seemed abundant. Ha. Oh, Mexico…isn’t that a James Taylor song? Yes, I believe it is! James … Continue reading »

Let There Be Light!
“And there was light!” Couldn’t help but think of that being said in a ‘James Earl Jones’ kind of voice as I consumed an excellent tasting cup of unleaded coffee this morning. Hard to get sometimes on the road. Sea and sky, so simple and beautiful simultaneously. Light separates the darkness. Almost home. So many … Continue reading »

Three quarters of the earths surface looks like this? Perfect! Continue reading »
The ‘It’
Standing alone on the beach gives you time to reflect and be thankful for all that encompasses ones life. It is what I was doing early this day, giving thanks for everything, the good, the bad, it all plays a part in whom we are. “Beautiful, isn’t it?” I turned towards the voice as the … Continue reading »
On The Road…
We’ve been busy lately visiting colleges up and down the east coast of the U.S. We left the laptop home and the problem is getting photo’s from the Nikons SD card to an iPhone which I believe isn’t possible yet? With that, I downloaded the WordPress App and will post some pics snapped with the … Continue reading »
