For the last few weeks I’ve been working more on the Charmed… I’m Sure site. I’ve now photographed over 400 of these tiny Italian Charms. The subjects the charms cover are wide ranging, but I picked a few that I … Continue reading →
Sadly, we received an email from Derek that Cairo passed away, just two weeks after we lost his brother, Galen. That leaves Derek and Jasna with Rocket, and us with Ricky from the group of four brothers that Meg had. … Continue reading →
This tree (I’m not even going to attempt to identify what species it is) didn’t make a wise choise on where to make it’s home. It sprouted in the middle of a rock, right on the ridgetop where it has … Continue reading →
This crane wanted to make sure he got his picture taken. He followed me along the path from one end of his pen to the other. You have to have a lot of self confidence going out dressed like that.
I found this little wildflower right on the ridgetop. At first I thought it was some sort of trillium. Looking it up in my wildflower book at home I found out it is a lily, and the common name is … Continue reading →
I tried looking up what type of flower this is, but my wildflower book has pages of yellow daisy looking flowers to choose from. So for now it will be known as the South Fork Yellow Daisy Looking Flower. Whatever … Continue reading →
Lori and I had a rare day off, and what a gorgeous day it ended up being. Lori wanted to stay home and clean, I talked her into going to the zoo, and then up to Route 1. The Eureka … Continue reading →
Bud now has a buddy (Bud 2?). For Memorial Day, the buddy was in a Navy uniform. Now Bud’s trying to rest, while his buddy looks for a little more excitement. At least one of them looks to be paying … Continue reading →
Finishing the race where everybody expected them to, this Subaru came in last. Actually the good bet was that they would be towed out of the bay by the Coast Guard. I was surprised to see that they made it. … Continue reading →
As usual, my favorite entry comes from the Duane Flatmo crew. (You might remember Mega-sore-ass, and Surf and Turf from previous years) This year’s entry was modeled to resemble a Victorian hearse, staffed with a bunch of bats. The details … Continue reading →
As the finish line announce mentioned, although the Kinetic Sculpture vehicles are meant to be artistic, there have been some entries that were built for speed and less for art, but until this entry showed up, there had never been … Continue reading →
This entry not only looks cool, but from what we heard it did really well over Deadman’s Drop. Those massive tires came off of a Super Modified race car, and they were a lot lighter than they look. With four … Continue reading →
Back to recapping the Kinetic Sculpture Race. This entry, a play on the recent movie series, came with a troop of gourdish warriors in tow.
Tonight I was working at the office late when I received a call from Lori, who was obviously frantic. I could hear Galen wailing in the background, and Lori said he just started doing that all of the sudden. I … Continue reading →
This week I’ll be featuring some of the more interesting entries in the Kinetic Sculpture Race. One of the first across the finish line, and one I didn’t expect to see in Ferndale, was this guy who rode a unicycle … Continue reading →
