I had a minor issue tonight while sorting out some more recent pictures, causing the loss of good amount of sorting work. Also, I haven’t had a chance to double check the pictures I was looking through to make sure I hadn’t posted them before – because that violates the… Continue reading
Since there’s no reason anyone would understand the title of this post, I shall explain. This was the rental car that Janet and I had in Colorado-Utah-Arizona. I’ve mentioned it previously, but it was lovingly referred to as The Frog. It was great, except the transmission shift algorithm was abysmal…. Continue reading
Another part to yesterday’s story. It was cold – 25F with a breeze. This is to be expected given that it’s Michigan at the end of January. I didn’t have a hat, or more accurately, wasn’t aware that I had a hat available, so I was keenly aware of how… Continue reading
I was in Muskegon for an archery shoot and figured I’d head down to Grand Haven to check out the ice on Lake Michigan. I thought it was going to be too early to catch sunset and didn’t really want to wait around. Turns out I was right on time… Continue reading
This was taken during Artprize 2012 – though it has nothing to do with Artprize, it was just a time when we were downtown in the late afternoon where the light was good for this shot. Picture is looking North up the Grand River. I can’t decide if I like… Continue reading

This is a portion of the town of Monterosso, the Northern most town in Cinque Terre, a set of five towns on the Eastern coat of Italy. The previous afternoon had been rainy and we canned our plans to hike down into one of the towns (blind, as in no… Continue reading
Part of our Mt. Etna excursion was getting to hike around on the foothills & lava flows from the volcano. This picture does a decent job of capturing the landscape that we were hiking around in and showing the volcanic ground. I have a few others showing everything from the… Continue reading
I took this while wandering around Catania, Sicily. I knew nothing about it, other than it was something obviously important in town (elephant obelisks aren’t something you expect to see without reason). As expected, Sicily is not rife with Elephants, so a google search for “Sicily Elephant” was fruitful. From… Continue reading
