Detours

Please note: I’ve been working on Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, literally, all week. It takes time to sort and develop the best of six hundred photographs, and despite being behind on posting, I needed a break. Thanks for bearing with me.
Update: 73 more photographs are uploading as I type this — check the gallery when [...]

Cherry Blossom, Weekend One

Cherry Blossom, Weekend One

Update: Both the bed race and downtown galleries are now complete (see links below); the parade gallery is in process and should be uploaded Friday. Thanks!
Warning: long post ahead. Folks wonder why I’m late with putting stuff up; instead of developing what I already have am behind on, I added 1187 new raw photographs to [...]

Rejuvinated

I’ve been way behind on my to-do list recently, which, rather obviously, includes blogging. Many apologies.
Last weekend, rather than take the time to blog, catch up, clean, or anything else, I took an opportunity to clear my head with a longer-than-usual road trip. Part of it was supposed to result in a very cool photostroll, [...]

Auburn, Alabama and Columbus, Georgia

Falling farther and farther behind on posting. However, if you’ll forgive me, I’m okay with it.
This Friday and Satuday, instead of finally finishing up the Maine photographs, perhaps as I should have, I let the camera take me out to see my good friends Phillip and Neecee.
She is a doctoral student at Auburn University, and [...]

Cocktails with Jennifer

New host Jennifer Look hosted the Feb 26th edition of our Cocktail Hour get-together. Enjoyed her home, but it’s a temporary thing — she’s moving soon, to over near Mercer. Looking forward to an event in her new home soon.
In honor of the move, I present a traveler:

The Walking Tassel
Couple of people shots I like, [...]

Snow!

Update: Full gallery posted — enjoy. Sorry that I still haven’t posted the Cocktail photographs from last week; been hugely busy. And no, that’s an apology, not a complaint…!

“Winter weather” here in Macon is most often limited to a few weeks of cold; it’s very unusual — although certainly not unprecedented — for it to [...]

Friday Night Zook ’Za

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 the rhythm, rewarding [...]

Late, but Good

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 less than [...]

It’s Not Either

…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.

Thirteen … Cocktails

Appreciated a good time with Tagg and Angelic as hosts of this week’s get-together. As I’ve said so many times before, Cocktail Hour — and the friends it offers up regularly — is one of the reasons I enjoy Macon so much.
So, this Friday the thirteenth, I offer up thirteen Cocktail Hour photographs … including [...]
