It was a beautiful spring-like day out at Folsom Lake on Thursday, with plenty of room to wander and explore from Sterling Pointe Park. I was able to take my Canon out on the trail for the first time in months, although I stuck with a single lens (my beloved 50mm), and all the photos in this post except for […]
Our trip out to Sterling Pointe Park on New Year’s Day got off to a rather bumpy start — not long after I’d realized I forgot to bring my phone, a cloudburst opened up as I drove north on Auburn Folsom Road; so I missed the turn and had to double back. But by the time we reached the parking […]
You may have noticed the the presence of a dog at the end of my blog post last Thursday; well, even if you didn’t that’s okay — but I think the time has come to introduce the newest member of my family. It’s been 15 years since there was a dog living in my house, so we’re both having an […]
This week I’ve re-scanned some prints from 1987 (and one from 1993) which I shot at the Sonoma coast. I shared some of them before, back in June 2017, but I always enjoy looking back over these memories and the adventures I shared with the Big Guy and two very wonderful dog companions. Allow me to quote from that earlier […]
For the last few months of his life in 1993, our Zack (also called Zeno) was an only dog. He had a tough time getting used to the loss of Phoebe, the pitbull who was like a mother to him. Despite his lifelong health problems, we always took Zack on outdoor adventures, and he would follow the Big Guy everywhere, […]
Spending the past week up in the mountains of Lassen County got me remembering some long-ago camping trips to similar spots a bit further south, near Frenchman Reservoir in Plumas County, back in the 1980s. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find any photos from those trips, so instead I went digging into my photo album and found these prints, from […]
Although these images all came from the Korea photo albums, some of them feel so very familiar to me after 36 years of living with my own dedicated fisherman. For the same reason, I can make a few observations that might at least partly make up for not knowing the circumstances or the locations where they were shot. The two […]
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 […]
Here are a few more of my images from Doggy Day at Denio’s in late April. Nothing will convince me that these dogs do not take this event very seriously — well, most of them, that is! Why else would they be so eager to get a look at their winning trophies, and making sure their beloved masters don’t wind […]
