Photo of the day

It’s been a long time since I updated and with some time off between Christmas and New Years, hopefully I’ll get to fill in some blanks. Meanwhile, the other night my wife had a party at the local aquarium and after the party ended I walked into the display called the River of Lights. Without […]

I ran across a site that I had bookmarked some time ago, called Urban Nature.  Although the writer has stopped posting for over a year now, I kind of liked the idea and decided to add a category to my Blog for photos that might suite my fancy when I’m out and about in the […]

Just outside of Bryce National Park in Utah is the Red Canyon.  This shot was taken just after the rock was washed down with a quick rain shower. And late in the afternoon I did a quick run into Zion National park where I’ll be spending the day hiking tomorrow.  Then on Tuesday morning I […]

Speaking of finishing in the wild, this afternoon I finished my 17th climb of the mountain in our back yard and was able to enjoy a festival of wildflowers. But that will have to wait till tomorrow as I’m going to continue trying to learn some more CSS tonight so I can get on with […]
