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…

Phew!
What a day. I had to get up to bring out grandchild to school. Otherwise, I’d still be in bed. I may go back. 😉 I’m tired but I feel good for it? Yesterday was so much fun. I’m mean everything worked out to near perfection, including the damn traffic. It was like a Sunday…

How do you create…
…quickly or carefully? I have always seemed to be a wing-it kind of writer. I have a general idea about the story I’m creating but the details are often left to chance. Wherever a thought takes me is where the story goes next. Does that make sense? For instance. I wasn’t sure until today what…

Wavecrest Open Space
…a small beauty on the PCH at Half Moon Bay In my search for new places to shoot, I happened on this beauty reading a newsletter from a preservation society here in the bay area. Wherever and whenever they can, these people gobble up acreage at rock bottom prices for the purpose of preservation. They…

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…

And again
…I remember. … continued from “I Remember,” posted earlier today Often, I will experience a cluster of memories. Usually, they are relative to each other. After this morning’s session, I fell asleep and woke from a dream about crystal clear ocean water in a natural cove. On a bunch, I looked for pictures of Anderson…

DelValle West
…a favorite hike when I’m able and if the creek don’t rise. 😋 Even in a bad rainy season the poppies come out for a few weeks every year. They are gorgeous and they grow everywhere. It’s the state flower I think and it’s a crime to pull them up…or it should be. In the…

…railroading in America. I almost took a job as an electrician with Union Pacific. The job just sounded exciting. However, did you know how poorly those folk are paid? For what I’d have to give up in lifestyle and the environment the work takes place in, well, let’s just say I’d have had to be…

City by the Bay
San Francisco from the Embarcadero and from a tour boat. This was my first trip to SF with the Nikon D850. I brought my travel lens, an all-purpose telephoto with a good range, and decent speed. I wasn’t planning on shooting moving targets, so this glass provided the perfect balance for this shoot. As family…

Goals
…stop coughing first, or go beast mode. So, my illness was, for all intents and purposes, gone. The mass steroids knocked it back. It’s been a week now since I stopped the meds. Slowly but surely, it’s coming back. 😑 The next option is, as he suggested before, injections. These are bilogics, not steroids, so…
