I’ve come upon my folder of pictures from Italy and on initial count had somewhere north of 4k pictures from the trip. My goal is to reduce this number, but there are probably a couple dozen good ones in there for posting. I’ll probably do a few from each country,… Continue reading
This is another picture that I think is not actually a good picture, but I find it entertaining. It was taken with a wide lens, close to the ground, accentuating the lean. I guess we did it right… Pisa is a tourist trap. Don’t bother. But, if you do bother,… Continue reading
This one comes from Florence, Italy – it’s a shot up the Arno River looking at the Ponte Vecchio, which Wikipedia tells me means “Old Bridge.” After Janet and I left Sicily, which was delayed and almost didn’t happen, we headed for Florence where we’d meet Mark and Ashley. With… Continue reading
Here is the photo that should have gone with yesterday’s write up. This is the best picture I have to show the actual dune at the Lake Michigan Overlook of Pierce Stocking Drive. I don’t have anything new or creative to say about it, but I will confirm that I… Continue reading
Back to not dying today – though fevers do apparently yield some odd dreams. Sometime not that long after the trip to Mackinac, there was a trip to the Traverse City area. One of the things to do was go to the Sleeping Bear Dunes – Janet had never been… Continue reading

Random dragonfly picture, taken on the same detour to the Cut River Bridge as the previous butterfly shot. This one took a few dozen more bad shots to get one that was crisp enough to use. In the spirit of reducing my photos to a manageable set that can actually… Continue reading
Shot of a Canadian Tiger Swallowtail taken near the Cut River Bridge in the Upper Peninsula – which is fitting since that’s almost Canada. This was a side stop on a trip to Mackinac Island to do a little hiking. Turns out, we couldn’t follow the trail very well and… Continue reading
There’s not much story behind this picture – it’s just pretty. I was in Austin, TX working on a project for Dell and stayed over a weekend. Steve suggested hiking around Mount Bonnell, a park encompassing the highest point in Austin and situated on the Colorado River. Notice the bridge… Continue reading
