Mendocino garden, continued
More happy and beautiful memories from late May at the Mendocino coast.
A Mendocino garden
In late May this year I took Gus with me on a trip to the Mendocino coast, and we stayed in a wonderful house with a lush and inviting back garden. Among all the colorful plants and flowers, the most eye-catching were the gorgeous rhododendrons. Although we both enjoyed our stay, at the time I felt the house was larger […]
Rio Nido dreaming
Sometimes when I visit a really beautiful area that’s new to me, I have a tough time remembering exactly why I feel so attached to my home turf. Rio Nido is a perfect example. It’s too easy to look at some of the rustic houses — many of them reached only by towering wooden staircases — as they sit tucked […]

Spring was one of his favorite times to go after bass at Clear Lake and the Sacramento Delta. Surprisingly, it was only a […]
Scenic Sunday
Once a house
Not too long ago I shared some of my previously unseen images from two abandoned luxury homes on the bluff above Manchester Beach in Mendocino County. I had intended to finish off the series sooner, but anyway, here is the final group of photos, mostly focusing on the more southern of the two structures. I’m not sure how long these […]
View from the porch
Back in mid March I was spending a lot of time enjoying the back porch as I nursed an injured foot at our small farmhouse in Keller, Texas. While newer houses had sprung up all around us, there remained enough open space to easily recall when this area north of Fort Worth still consisted primarily of wide open fields and […]
