It was Thursday morning, and I was packing up to leave my AirBnB near Tomales Bay, running in and out of the house with my bundles and bags. Suddenly I realized I was no longer alone — someone had slipped in through the open door and was casually stalking about, tail in the air, casting an eye over the place […]
Here are some previously overlooked images I shot in and around Lake Natoma and Black Miner’s Bar (previously Negro Bar) between the 13th and 30th of September, 2016.
I was almost sorry to be heading to Point Reyes with little time to spare, because there were so many places along Highway 1 in Marin County where I would have loved to pull over and admire the scenery. Although I can just barely remember some trips to Dillon Beach (just across from Tomales Point, at the mouth of the […]
In trying to prepare this post I’ve been learning quite a lot about the breathtakingly beautiful region of Chile, almost 700 square miles, that forms the Torres del Paine National Park. Most of the images here are from postcards; but I’ve found that, while descriptions of the views are provided in both English and Spanish, they don’t always provide the […]
Back in August 2018 I was pretty thrilled to see the small group of buffalo in the Bison Paddock at Golden Gate Park; there have been American bison living in the park ever since the 1890s, and their existence even helped to bring the species back from the brink of extinction.

Last Monday I promised you the Perito Moreno Glacier, and here it is, looking absolutely brilliant in a series of postcard images as well as photographs shot by our South American traveler back in the year 2000. But while the glacier is stunning, this small photo album still holds a few surprises tucked in between the postcards and scenic views. […]
Last Monday my top image was a photo of the Beagle Channel; however, I failed to mention this stretch of water actually played quite a fascinating part in 19th century exploration and science. The channel, lying just south of Ushuaia, is one of three navigable passages around the tip of South America. And you may have guessed that the channel […]
This week I have a few more images from the southern tip of South America, in Argentina. Some of them are lacking information, and try as I might, I haven’t been able to figure them out. I’m talking specifically about the next two photos, which appear to show some large dogs in enclosures, playing around while people stand in the […]
We had a lucky spotting while stopped alongside Interstate 40 in Arizona; this coyote looked to be making her usual morning rounds through the parking area before heading, with well-accustomed caution, across the road and away into the desert.
