Badge of Courage

Knowlesville Posted on May 31, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
KLR650

Blake and I ended up riding about 400 miles together this weekend, much of it on gravel and dirt roads. On his arrival I noticed that Derek had never really used his bike to its full potential because the license …

Humboldt Bunny

Bunny Costume

The Humboldt Lumberjack band came into Ferndale (minus Lori Ann Crist, who was attending Arthur’s graduation at home) for the finish of the Kinetic Sculpture race. It was a typical overcast Ferndale morning, for which I’m sure this guy was …

There’s something oddly familiar about this bike

Knowlesville Posted on May 29, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Route 1

Derek’s KLR650 finally made it up to Ferndale this weekend, but only after Derek sold it to my friend Blake. After watching the race start in Arcata yesterday, Blake and I headed up 299 and then Route 1. 34 miles …

Kinetic Sculpture Race

Today was the start of the 37th annual Kinetic Sculpture Race. The machine pictured here was new this year and was unlike any other machine we’ve ever seen. It became an instant hit during the braking test and I only …

Ricky’s New Toy

Knowlesville Posted on May 27, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Artie

A few weeks ago this kitten started showing up in our yard when we were out gardening. Then we would come home to find it playing out in the yard with Ricky. Soon they were unseparable. I think Ricky is …

Katherine Revealed

Knowlesville Posted on May 26, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Kat

So after seeing two silhouettes of Katherine, I thought it would be nice to show a picture where you can actually see her. Two of her in fact.

White Mountain Sunset in Loleta

Knowlesville Posted on May 25, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Kat

This photo of Katherine is another bit of Photoshop trickery. Last summer during our trip to the White Mountains, I photographed some real pretty sunset pictures of the ancient bristlecone trees silhouetted against the sky. I also took some pictures …

Coming to a theater soon

Knowlesville Posted on May 24, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Cowgirl Sunset

Well the weather did cooperate, and we had a chance to finish the shoot with Katherine that we started earlier. When I showed this shot to someone in town they thought it looked like a movie poster. So if someone …

Katherine

Knowlesville Posted on May 22, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Kat

Saturday was probably the most gorgeous day we had in Ferndale this year, and the weather forecast promised even warmer temps for today. Which was good news because I had two photoshoots planned for the day. Haley still owed me …

Red Hot Pokers

Knowlesville Posted on May 21, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Red Hot Pokers

Every spring the Ferndale Fire Department does a donation drive and we go door to door both in town and out in the country. I’ve been using the drive as an excuse to collect plants. This week while picking up …

Weed Project From Hell

Knowlesville Posted on May 15, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Driveway

Last fall we dug up and transplanted some iris and dianellas and moved them into this spot near the driveway. Then winter came and the weeds invaded like crazy, and by the time it got to weather where we could …

Version 3

Knowlesville Posted on May 11, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Aesthetic Design & Photography Website

Well after working on it for over a year, my new Aesthetic Design and Photography web site is up and running. Two problems: First, it suffered from “The plumber’s house has leaky pipes” syndrome. Second, it was a moving target. …

Ferndale Cemetery Panorama

Knowlesville Posted on May 10, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Ferndale Cemetery

This photo was taken the same day as the earlier one this month, but I finally got around to stitching it together on the computer. It is actually 5 photos that have been put together to provide the almost 180 …

They’re Back

Bird nest on porch

While some family members discourage our fine feathered friends from nesting on their house, we have accepted that it is easier to just go with it and clean up the mess the make. The only real downside is that on …

Planting Herbs

Knowlesville Posted on May 8, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Herbs

After recycling the parts of the old front fence into raised beds, Lori and I started planting the herbs and other plants that she started from seeds this winter. I also went to a couple of plant shows and picked …

Another Path You Could Take

Knowlesville Posted on May 7, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Backyard Path

After finishing the four paths in the herb garden, we still had a half a trailer full of crushed granite. So we started working on a path from the driveway to the back deck. We got about a third done …

Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de Mayo parade

Actually, yesterday was Cinco De Mayo, but this parade doesn’t really happen until tomorrow, the 7th. Confused? Well I didn’t have anything for today. If you’ve seen the snake photos, you might recognize the rider on the right, Katherine, and …

Ferndale Cemetery

Ferndale Cemetery

I finally got a day with a clear sky to photograph the cemetery while the rhododendrons are in bloom. We have a large shot in our gallery that I took several years ago. A while back I overheard a couple …
