May 13, 2012 - It wasn't a great morning for doing time lapse photography (which was why I was up there... videos on youtube) The Fog was rolling in and shrouding the view. but there were a few brief moments where the fog opened a bit so I could capture the curtain of gold enveloping the town with my spare camera.

Aug 13, 2011 - The French Quarter of New Orleans is a fascinating area. A tiny, encapsulated region in one of the countries most interesting cities. The City of New Orleans is sinking. every year it falls deeper below sea level. It is doing so at an uneven rate. For the centuries-old buildings that are in the French Quarter these shifts put amazing pressures on the structures as one corner sinks faster than another. In the French Quarter there is no such thing as square and plum. Over its long history the walls have been patched, rebuilt and replaced as the need required and budget allowed.

The result is an architecturally funky and visually fascinating area. You can find a bright, freshly painted and restored shotgun house embellished with Victorian fillagree next to a decrepit and neglected brick pile that has been on the verge of crumbling for the past 100 years.

Jul 31, 2011 - I like the geometry of these two barns, one before the other. In this part of the midwest there is a golden-orange lichen that likes to grow on things. You need to be careful about standing too long in one place. You can see a touch of it on the roof of these old barns. It adds a dash of color to the scenery.

Jul 31, 2011 - Yellowstone National Park is filled with sights and sounds that are surreal. Some of the deep pools have water that is a shade of blue that seems impossible. At the edge of this pool the slow, scalding runoff stained the gravel yellow with sulfer while in a cooler area to the sides an alge thrived that colored everything orange. The result is a natural image that seems more of an abstract than anything that could be the result of a natural process.

Jul 26, 2011 - What this flower is called I haven't a clue. It has a yellow blossom and its seed pods are most interesting. They contrast wildly in size with the modest yellow flower that has yet to open and the profuse hairs are covered with sparkling drops of a sticky resonous stuff. It is prolific with it's seeds and is a favorite with the songbirds.

Jul 26, 2011 - As you crest Copening Hill in the Missouri Ozarks, you will flash by a tiny church. If you are behind one of the locals who's pickup truck grinds down into first gear to make it up the hill, the flashing will be more of a saunter. At this pace you will see the small but sturdy house that the pastor lived in and beyond that this lovely shed. Long before there were Air Jordans, hoops dreams were played out against these planks. Though dreams may go on forever, sheds will ultimately tumble down, as this one has since its portrait.

Jul 26, 2011 - A camera allows you to examine things in ways different than you normally would. Laying on the grass on a warm summer evening you can take your time examining all of the clover blossoms on the lawn. Some of them are pink or have pink shading on them. With the camera just so, you have a magnificent bouquet.

Jul 26, 2011 - Bobcats are shy and solitary. I have been fortunate to have a few of them that traverse my property now and then. One bobcat in particular discovered what a tasty and easy snack the chickens were which motivated me to think that I would rather buy eggs from a neighbor and let the bobcats run free. This particular bobcat had been passing by my house every so-often for a few months when I finally got the picture right. I wonder if it was thinking of dinner when it was looking at me.

Jul 26, 2011 - I was driving North from Arco Idaho (the first city to be lit by electricity generated from a nuclear reactor.) It was late September and the first snow of the season had dusted the mountains the night before. The dense clouds of the morning were breaking up and only a few shreds were creeping along the sides of the mountain ridge.
