Memory Monday: Snow day

I was so happy about the photos I shot last Saturday as we drove through a coast range snowstorm I nearly forgot it was actually time for Memory Monday! So instead I went through the “Korea albums” and found some images of family time in the snow to share today. These pictures provide a very good example of the nostalgic […]

Buried treasure, Part 3

It’s already been a few weeks since my previous Treasure Box post, and, as promised, this one has a little bit of everything in it.

But […]

This game was a Christmas present one year, maybe around the early 1970s; I’m certain my parents had a great time laughing at me as I shook the gift-wrapped box and puzzled over the crazy rattling sounds […]

A cupful of art, Part 3: van Gogh

Here’s the third in a series of images created using artificial intelligence on the GoArt website. You can find the original photo here. I’ve loved the works of Vincent van Gogh ever since I saw an exhibit of his sunflower paintings at San Francisco’s de Young Museum in April 1973; so naturally I’m partial to the look of this art […]
