First the photo of the day:
Who could resist that face: “See what I have? See? See?” I couldn’t. I threw it for her.
Now more rhodies. (more…)

Salmon and Sawtooths
Posted in personal, photography, Photos, travel on June 18, 2010| 3 Comments »
So last night we had supper with childhood friends we hadn’t seen in 50 years (see, I’m getting used to it–no caps :-). The youngest (Midy) was an infant when we left town, and now lives next door to their mom. I tend to drop in on the mother whenever I go through Salmon, but the last few times I haven’t been able to find the lane into her property, but with directions provided by Heather and her husband, we found it and went to see her.

Br’er Rabbit

The neighborhood jackrabbit showed up on the berm outside my back yard last night. CJ alerted me by barking at him, and I caught this picture–the best I’ve gotten of him: (more…)
CJ and namesake

We encountered a coyote on our walk this morning. As you can see from this picture, CJ (Miss Coyote Jane) doesn’t look much like her namesake these days. (more…)

All new, never-before-posted TREES!
Posted in pets, photography, Photos on March 16, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Do not be deceived by the fact that these trees look just like dozens of other trees previously posted. They are, I can promise, BRAND NEW. To me, that is.
After more than ten years of walking dogs around here, this morning I managed to wander into some trails I hadn’t found before, and the photos posted below were all taken in the new territory.
I know they look like all the other tree pictures I post. I just can’t help myself. They always look new to me. (more…)
Must-see/must-experience links
Posted in art, misc, photography, spiritual on February 18, 2008| 3 Comments »
I’ve run across a couple of sites I strongly encourage everyone to go check out. Each is beautiful, in a different way.
This one has some amazing photography set to music. My excuse for tagging this with “spiritual”.
This is the site of an artist, Peter Callesen. I recommend clicking on “A4 papercut” and browsing slowly. Not only is his stuff amazing and incredible and beautiful, I can’t even imagine how he does it. I mean, what kind of fine-motor skills would it take? Superhuman, if you ask me.
Go! Go! Click away from here!
Dog at rest
Posted in pets, photography, Photos on February 17, 2008| 4 Comments »
I decided to give up on catching a good shot of CJ next to one of the other dogs out on a walk to show how much she’s grown. Instead, I’m going to return to a previous picture of her I posted less than a week after I picked her up, lying on one of the dog beds I took along. (more…)
Dogs in motion
Posted in pets, photography, Photos on February 6, 2008| 2 Comments »
I keep trying to get shots of the dogs when we’re out on the walks. I want to do a post about how CJ has grown, and I’m trying for the perfect picture to show this. What I get instead are shots like this: (more…)
Paying attention (or not)
Posted in philosophy, photography, Photos, spiritual on December 26, 2007| 2 Comments »
(For the full effect–do not click on the thumbnail yet.)
Yesterday the dogs and I took a nice long Christmas walk, and I captured this picture, thinking perhaps I’d write a post on shadows. Gradually, the way memories do these days, the memory of this post seeped back into my forebrain–so I won’t repeat myself.
But I will comment on that blue whatever-it-is in the upper left corner. I was totally unaware of it until I looked at the picture in my camera back home. (more…)
Balancing one’s guilts: Sunday walk
Posted in personal, pets, photography, Photos on April 16, 2007| 1 Comment »
All I can say is thank God I own dogs. I know, I know–whether or not one owns dogs is (mostly) up to the person, but still I say–thank God I own dogs. And why do I say this? Because guilt drove me out of the house this morning to take them for a walk. (more…)
Red flower

I found this beautiful red flower and decided to see what my camera would do with it. Here it is in context: (more…)
Fallen tree:Down but not out
Posted in personal, philosophy, photography, Photos on March 30, 2007| 3 Comments »
A couple of months or so ago, this tree in my front yard fell over, during or after one of our rainstorms. We didn’t have any really intense storms this year, so I’m not sure why it fell. (more…)
Just messing around
Posted in personal, photography, Photos on March 28, 2007| 3 Comments »
I was whiling away some time, relaxing after work today, and decided to play around in Photoshop with a picture of a California poppy I got awhile back. This is the original: (more…)
Anybody home? and other miscellany
Posted in pets, photography, Photos on March 25, 2007| 4 Comments »
A friend and I took a walk this morning, and we ran across the biggest critter-tunnel I’ve ever seen around here. It looks fairly fresh, but the dogs ignored it, so probably it’s not currently being used–or at least, it wasn’t currently occupied. But we were wondering what dug it–maybe a coyote? (more…)
Cooperative Seagull
Posted in photography, Photos on March 23, 2007| 1 Comment »
Was looking at some beautiful pictures on Steven Pinker’s web site (check them out–they’re well worth it). He has a nice one of a seagull (in the Cape Cod 1 set), and it reminded me of this one (which if I do say so myself, compares well with his.) (more…)
Sunday walk

It’s been cloudy around here for several days, so these pictures are a bit dim, but I’m going to post them anyway. (more…)
Rosy glow, or glowy rose?
Posted in photography, Photos on March 16, 2007| 3 Comments »
I took a lovely walk today, and took my camera and everything–but I had removed the memory card, and forgot to replace it, so–no pictures from today. To compensate, I went looking through my files, and decided to post these. I took them some time ago, of roses in my back yard. (more…)
Pinnacles pics
Posted in photography, Photos on March 12, 2007| 2 Comments »
I think I must be starting to get restless–I’ve been thinking about summer vacation a lot, and wanting to get on the road. Anyway–here are a couple of pictures I took a year or so ago at The Pinnacles, a national monument in California. (more…)
