One of the tulip beds as we were walking back into town from the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Tulips are kind of delicate and don’t tend to last long, but I like their kind of clean simplicity. I think this is the last one from the Mackinac trip for,… Continue reading
I took a lot of pictures of slight variations on this scene. In the end, I wasn’t a big fan of any of the compositions. Many didn’t turn out like I envisioned and the ones that did showed the sky as you see here – pretty flat and boring –… Continue reading
Sugar Loaf rock on Mackinac. Seems I have a number of pictures that seem interesting from that trip. I’m betting I’ve posted pictures of this thing somewhere before. It’s a big chunk o’ rock that juts up in the middle of Mackinac Island. Of course, it’s a rock, so I… Continue reading
This is a continuation of a post that I kind of started way back in 2011. There’s not much to that post – just a picture list, all of which are duplicated here, I think. It was before I migrated the site to use a true gallery plugin, so I’m… Continue reading

Shot of a water buffalo that we saw on the India safari shortly after the farmers shown yesterday. This guy was out there alone and didn’t seem the least bit aggressive, but I really am not 100% certain how OK he was with me being there. I also wasn’t *that*… Continue reading
I’m posting the picture just so I don’t feel like I’m cheating on my goal, but the real interest is in the video below. I typically don’t place high value on video clips, but in this case, I think the activity is cool enough to be worth it. It’s only… Continue reading
This picture of a couple farmers in India plowing a field is possibly my favorite picture from my work trip to India. I mainly like its simplicity – after all, it’s mostly just color and pattern with just enough going on to provide an element of interest in the ‘foreground’. … Continue reading
I told you this was coming, back in January… This is from the version of Austin trip where Steve came over and played tour guide. This is the Pennybacker Bridge going over Lake Austin. The road is the Loop 360 highway an according to Wikipedia is “one of the most… Continue reading
