To do or not to do…
…anything at all. I wrote until 3 am. I didn’t finish what I started. My head finally bobbed once, then again. Off to never-neverland. I’ve spent the last 15 minutes looking for what I wrote. 😑 Honestly! I was getting angry. I got up—from my lounger on the porch—and headed for the PC determined to…

Undone
…I am. It seems that in my excitement to venture outdoors, I overstepped my limitations. I am whipped. I listened to the crows gabbing. I listened to the squirrels chittering. I watched them and the finches and the wrens and the sparrows and the doves devour all our seed. I heard first, then saw the…

The News dilemma
You know, I usually spend the first two hours of my day on the porch, with coffee. The local news is on my tablet, and I’m scrolling five other news sources, left, right, and middle fiddle.More and more, this is becoming a futile exercise. My hope is always to be able to filter out the…

DelValle Rises and Holdener goes dark
…sunrises on Del Valle’s hills …Clouds and haze fall on Holdener The cover photo is from Holdener. The girls stopped dead in their tracks and then circled around something in the trail. My first Tarantula up close and personal. It just sat and waited for me to leave. I was maybe a foot from it…

An end to film
2018 was a transition period for me. When I’d finished the B&W portion of my photography education. It was time to put the old Nikon F5 35mm Film camera away as I dove into the world of Digital Photography. I wanted to continue with the film camera but film was expensive. Developing B&W was relatively…

Hayward Regional Shoreline #1
I haven’t found that later episode yet. I did find this one which was made before the last one. So the last one was last, and this one, the second one, is first. Erm…never mind. There were a few more critters here this time. But conditions weren’t much better. I need to correct my earlier…

New Editor
…I’m learning. Photo Editing Package I’ve bought into the ON1 platform for Photo Editing. This will save my old dried up wallet a fair piece of change in the long run. I can be rid of Adobe, Luminar (AI editing-general), and Topaz(AI Sharpening and Noise reduction), as ON1 does it all. I will say it…

Migration
…so many birds I came for eagles. When I stopped in at the Rangers station to ask for a best spot, they also mentioned that Tule Lake would have thousands of waterfowl in it. I was kind enough not to guffaw at the “thousands” comment. Ha! The joke was on me. They also pointed me…

And now for something new
…well, it was supposed to be different. The intent was to post something different than birds, particularly, not eagles. I picked this because I thought of the unbelievably incredible landscapes in NorCal along the Oregon border. After I landed on an almost moonscape shot and decided – this is it – I remembered the reason…

Requiem downgraded to sabbatical.
PC diagnosis. One 16 gig RAM stick reported 10k errors during Mem test. 10,000! Not as bad as I thought, but still more than we can spare at the moment. The laptop, with whatever enhancements I can provide, is holding up, but it takes forever to work my photos. 8 Gig of RAM ain’t near…
