Since I didn’t want to look like an idiot while the lady in the red Miata drove by, I snapped this picture of the fog rolling in. We haven’t seen fog in Ferndale for a week, but it’s finally back. …
Ahh, Sunday our day off. Sun’s out, nothing planned for today except go to the fair in Eureka to see the demolition derby and then maybe come home and do some chores. We got to the demo derby, and watched …
A few weeks ago when we had guests staying at our house, someone (I’m guessing Derek from past experiences) left their toothpaste behind. Maybe we’re behind the times, but I had never seen one of these toothpaste in a pump …
I don’t know if Chelsea knows how to ride a horse, but she wanted some pictures with her cowboy hat. Good excuse to try out the leather earrings I saw in a store a while back. I love dangly earrings, …
I guess to make up for the miserable winter, and the spring that never showed up, the weather gods are being kind to Ferndale this summer. The usual fog is no where to be seen, and we’ve been experiencing warm …
Before dinner Lori and I walked down by the river where we were camping and came across this little frog, who was taking the art of camouflage rather seriously.
For our big summer vacation this year, we went on a two day whitewater rafting trip on the Trinity River. Today we drove up to the campground near Helena and met the rest of the group and the guides. The …
This is another shot taken last Sunday, same area as yesterday’s only a wider view. I’ve always heard about the bluebells of Texas and how spectacular they were, and this year I found out that what Texans call bluebells, we …
Another of my favorite native flowers is the lupine. We have several varieties around here and this year they seem to be doing very well, no doubt because of all the rain we received earlier. This particular patch was found …
When we lived in San Jose, I tried to grow foxglove in our garden, with only a little success. It seemed like they never reseeded, so every year I had to buy new plants, which not only gets expensive, it …
While I was taking the previous shot, I noticed a huge bumblebee all covered with pollen, so I followed him around for awhile trying to get his picture. Bees are not very cooperative when it comes to having their picture …
Sometimes I think life would be much easier without indoor plumbing. The last few weekends I’ve been having to repair something or other. First it was the toilet that was leaking. Then it was the valve that stuck in our …
Did something today I don’t do very often anymore, shot some actual film. The shot shown here is actually a digital shot of Dottie’s Kids that was used to test the lighting before I switched to film. Dottie is submitting …
The gophers have taken a turn for the worse. They are now doubling back, in the direction of the house. Mom and Dad are in town today. Mom brought her new camera, so I’m leaving it to her to document …
The gopher population in our yard seems to be out of hand. I think they are trying to create a reproduction of the Hawaiin Islands on our front lawn. Every morning we awake to find one more volcano has been …
Last weekend the Splinter Group had a garage sale and while searching for items to sell, I came across a box that had my very first computer in it which I’ve been saving for the day when it becomes an …
It’s actually the 12th as I post this so I’m really behind. Been busy, had the folks in town, blah, blah, blah. More excuses than you want to hear. I figured I better get something posted before June is completely …
