Scenic Sunday
In old Grapevine
We were in Grapevine, Texas, on business on this particular afternoon in June 2025, and the weather was quite warm. So while there wasn’t time for a lot of sightseeing, I did manage to take a quick stroll down the street and take note of a few historical details. I later realized that I had been here at least once […]
The Adventure Continues… Model Boats
The world has changed quite a lot since this episode of Visiting first aired in November 2002; but the Orange County Model Sailing Club is still going strong and continue to meet on a regular basis at the same lake where Huell encountered them. I can’t help but admire all the hard work and serious attention to detail that goes […]
Partway up a mountain
Of all the times I happened to be travelling along Highway 29 in Lake County (west of Clear Lake) and noticed the interestingly named Bottle Rock Road, I never imagined that one day I’d be turning onto that very road in search of a new hiking spot. It was already past noon when I arrived at Boggs Lake Preserve, on […]
The Adventure Continues… Statues
Today, an hour-long episode of Visiting — first aired in August 1997 — has Huell taking a whirlwind tour of Los Angeles to learn about just a few of the many statues and monuments adorning the city. From the giant equestrian statue on a traffic island to the bronze busts in Lincoln Park to the tiny figurine in memory of […]
Russian Gulch rainforest
It’s been nearly five months since we were last at the coast in Mendocino County, and with all our recent trips to Texas, it seems even longer. Hopefully we’ll soon be able to plan another visit; but in the meantime, I still have a lot of photos from previous trips that I haven’t yet shared. Today, here’s a look at […]
The Adventure Continues… Huell in Havana
You’ve probably noticed that my regular Wednesday posts have been missing since early March. I never intended to discontinue them but the past three months have been filled with distractions and uncertainty; now I’m hoping things will settle back into a more normal routine and I can pick up where I left off. With that being said, this week I […]
Texas at random
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 […]
