Enjoyed dinner and porch time with Dan, Connor, and Thad Friday evening, keeping two dads company while their wives are out of town this weekend. I didn’t know that Thad could play a guitar (let alone how well) — but Connor knew, and was especially happy: Thad and Connor #2 (Kisses) After keeping up with [...]

Mucho behind on blog posts. Apologies. Been incredibly busy the past few weeks, mostly precluding the more “leisurely” activities. Amongst which — for me, at least — includes blogging. Like I said, sorry. Most recently, I promised a Maine update soon. Alas, no; try as I could, the sum of those thousands of photographs is [...]

…of the things I promised — snapshots or Maine, I mean — but couldn’t resist calling out this shot of sweet Bee, from today: Bee’s (Beautiful) Curiosity I love my kids cats. Glad to have a happy family. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Appreciated a good time with Tagg and Angelic as hosts of this week’s get-together.

So where — and what? Friday night, we camped just outside of Dalton, Georgia, near the summit of Dug [...]

But one I like of the hosts. Both of ‘em: John’s there. Check carefully. (Yes, this photograph was also [...]

Enjoyed an photostroll with Gerald over the weekend, which took us to Jarrell Plantation, a local State Park and Historic Site. We’d been trying to go for years, it seems, and of course they were doing restoration work this winter afternoon. Nonetheless, got some items I like, like this sign: And these gears: See all [...]

I’ve gotten questions this week regarding what I mean when I refer to “a slightly different focus.” Delighted to illustrate. Starting with a photograph that … doesn’t suck, actually: The Nuts and Bolts (of a Garden Ornament) Good composition, nice shadows, the bits of green are a plus, etc. Almost — almost — suggests a sense [...]
