We’ve spent the last week near the Pacific Coast, visiting redwood forests, exploring tide pools and taking a daytrip to San Francisco. I am amazed at the 40 degree mid day temperature difference between the coast and inland.
I took the picture above on our way back from the coast. It was an amazing [...]

We are on a family vacation to Oregon and Northern California. Yesterday, we visited Crater Lake National Park. The lake was shrouded in wildfire smoke so it wasn’t optimal for taking pictures, plus we had some camera issues, but here are a couple of shots.

I have always been fascinated by auto junkyards and have wanted for years to take the time to photograph some. Here are a half dozen shots from a salvage yard near the airport in Salt Lake City.
I have gazed at this junkyard many times from the air because it is visible from the [...]

After three years of blogging, there is finally a way to blog mobilely. Wordpress issued an app for the iPhone today.
So I’m sitting at Bret’s soccer game while I blog. Perhaps my posts will now be less sporadic, although I can’t promise they will be any more insightful.
The new iPhone is as good as the [...]

I’ve worked from this particular home office for three years. That adds up to many hours staring out the window as I participate in conference calls or think. Each season turns the hill a different shade. The June colors are my favorite.
A pair of red-tail hawks took up residence in a [...]

The Cotswolds are a range of hills two hours West of London. It is a land of sheep and limestone with quaint villages, narrow roads and stone houses. It is a wonderful place to drive around and get lost. Something Camden and I managed to do. I wish I could have taken [...]

These are the most interesting things I snapped with my iPhone this week. Above is a work called Chiaccere by Pae White that was on exhibit at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. It is a series of a mobiles made with cut paper and color thread. The Hammer Museum website quotes [...]

One of the more unusual towns we visited in England was Glastonbury. Its nearby lor (hill) is the home of many of the King Arthur legends. Wikipedia states it best, “Glastonbury today is a centre for religious tourism and pilgrimage. Diverse strains of mysticism and paganism co-exist alongside the followers of its [...]

As this is Camden’s first trip to London, we visited the classic sites such as Buckingham Palace. What struck me about the guard outside was how young he looked.
More interesting, was the guard we saw being trained to hold his head high and walk a straight line.

And I never knew the puffy black [...]

Camden and I arrived in London today.  The first rule in fighting European jet lag is to spend the day outside in order to keep from fallling asleep, despite the restless night on the plane.
We ate lunch in Hyde Park, spent an hour touring Westminster Abbey and got a birds eye view of London on [...]
