Today I’m taking a look at some more of the photos retrieved from the Big Guy’s phone. These were all shot in the month of March — and I had to include at least one fishing picture. Spring was one of his favorite times to go after bass at Clear Lake and the Sacramento Delta. Surprisingly, it was only a […]
I may have considered myself the photographer in our family, but the Big Guy shot a lot of photos too, using his smart phone. I recently went through his collection; and while I found that most of them featured whatever fish he had caught that day, he also liked to share with me some of the cool things he noticed […]
In the past few weeks I’ve been getting outdoors a lot more than I have in years. Thanks to my new four-legged hiking buddy, I’m revisiting places that were once familiar and discovering some that are entirely new to me. The result has been that the dog is happy, I feel a bit more fit, and I have brand new […]
My mission for last Sunday called for driving out to Denio’s swap meet in hope of discovering some sort of well-loved furniture piece for my all-too empty house; I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted, but it was a good excuse to get outside for a bit. Once I’d arrived and parked, I soon found myself wandering aimlessly among the […]
On this visit out to Denio’s swap meet in mid August, I didn’t shoot as many photos as I normally do, and I didn’t buy anything. But it did feel good to get out of the house and spend an hour or so wandering the property, checking out the wide range of colorful and sometimes strange items offered up.
Most of my time in Texas earlier this month was spent indoors, helping to sort through the belongings left behind by my dear father-in-law. But when I did have a few spare minutes to grab my camera, I could usually find something intriguing to shoot. I’m curious about the hippo statue (along with a lion, not pictured) found near the […]
Going through the bits and pieces of my in-laws belongings since they both recently passed away, we found literally piles of photos. Some depict family history, and others — like the ones I’m sharing here — reflect their love of travel. Although many of the prints have little or no descriptions on the back, I do know that the Big […]
Today I’m digging down deep into my archives, looking back at some of my favorite May images from between 2015 and 2020. When I examine my huge collection of photographs, it’s amazing to me how far I’ve come in just the past ten years. Even now, I’m far from an expert photographer, but my equipment has certainly improved, and I’d […]
Just a few of the sights from our recent travels to and from Texas this year.
