Seen in passing
Just a few of the sights from our recent travels to and from Texas this year.
Home again, home again
I was thoroughly spoiled on our last trip to (and from) Texas; we splurged on our flights and traveled first class. On our flight home, the Big Guy was kind enough to switch seats with me so I had a nice view out the window. For me — and for the Big Guy as well, I’m pretty sure — enjoying […]
Whistling past the graveyard
Texas has so much history to explore, and there’s always quite a lot to learn and to think about when visiting a historic cemetery like this one in Weatherford, Texas. I found several gravestones honoring war veterans who lived to a ripe old age, as well as far too many children who had died far too young. Although the Greenwood […]

Scenes from Steel Canyon
A week ago I shared some images shot in January 2025 at Lake Berryessa using my Fujifilm point-and-shoot camera. Here’s another look at that same visit through the lens of my phone camera.
Summer in the city
It’s not necessary for me to have any particular destination in mind when I visit San Francisco in the summer. It’s often enough to just wander around, keeping my eyes open. I’m always sure to find something that appeals to my camera. I shot most of these images with my Fujifilm point-and-shoot, which is perfect for this sort of street […]
Carillon Park
There were a few nice things about this small park in Southlake, Texas. First, it was a fairly short drive from where we were staying, in an area we were already somewhat familiar with. The Big Guy was able to catch some bass there, and I was able to walk the circumference of the pond before leaving him there and […]
Framed
I do enjoy shooting scenes with some sort of framing around them, but I don’t do it very often. That’s mostly because I do a lot of outdoor photography, and also because my results are only successful about half the time. Still, even though some of today’s images may not be the greatest as far as quality, they do serve […]
Urban redwoods
The Otis R. Johnson Wilderness Park in Fort Bragg may be relatively small, but when I visited last November I found it nearly impossible to go more than a couple of steps without shooting another picture. I didn’t get to explore as thoroughly as I wished because recent rains had left the ground very muddy, and the trail that I […]
