Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
So, I needed to look up something on my SmugMug account, and I noticed an icon labeled 'Stats' under the Settings tab. I've never looked at it before nor knew it was there. On a lark, I clicked on it . . . Say what?! . . . 1,744 views of my photos just for... Continue Reading →
The Toons are by artists who give permission to share their work (SMBC, Joe Martin, Wrong Hands). The quotes are from the original Jokes of the Week. Toons Quotes Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them,... Continue Reading →
Right . . . how about something to take one's mind off the weighty matters of life and the various shit-storms raging around the globe? Yes? Great! . . . here we go . . . The above is a picture of a cracked glass pane separating the walking/running track from the weights area at... Continue Reading →
I feel I must point something out regarding TT-16 . . . at no point was I defending Israel in the totality of their actions. What I referenced was the propensity for many (too many) to blindly assign blame to Israel no matter what happens. The hate and readiness to assume — and assign —... Continue Reading →
(1,100 words – about a 4 minute read if reading at 265 words per minute) . . . December 7, 1941. The nation is in shock. People are scared about a possible large-scale invasion and still reeling from a devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. An attack on a military installation and naval resources. Those old...

These were taken on April 8, before I photographed the eclipse. I snapped many good images but pared them down to 22, all action shots. Because of it, very few words in this post. Some of these are the best I've ever taken of the respective birds. We begin with the Blue Jays above and... Continue Reading →

This, then, is the fourth and last post showcasing photos I snapped on April 7th. Honestly, I don't expect anyone but a few diehards to pay any mind to this post. Consequently, despite the gallery containing 52 images, this will be a short post. It's much like the others . . . birds, and then... Continue Reading →
On April 7th, I again sat outside with my coffee and Nikon D7500. I snapped 345 images, trashed a few, and picked 209 to share. That's too many for one blog post, so I'm splitting them into four posts with 50 to 55 images each. This, then, is the third of four posts about what... Continue Reading →

AI-generated image — by WOMBO To say I've been reading a lot since the new year might be an understatement. I don't have an exact count because I've also re-read some older stuff. My best guess is at least 24 new books, plus I partially read another 14 books (partial means anywhere from 10-20 pages... Continue Reading →
Nikon D7500 - 1/5000 sec at f/6.3, ISO 32000 OK, here are my few photos from yesterday's (April 8, 2024) eclipse. Don't expect much as this is more about me documenting the effort for myself than showing off amazing images . . . which I don't have. I have images I'm happy with, especially considering...
