Sarah

I tried shooting a bit more at the beach yesterday after we captured the series of shots needed for the composite photo, but the wind just kept blowing even harder. So Sarah stopped by the studio after work and we … Continue reading →

Sarah’s Self Portrait

Knowlesville Posted on October 6, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Sarah's Self Portrait

I’ve been having fun coming up with picture in picture concepts lately, and today we took Sarah to the Lost Coast to work on this one. The concept is more apparent in a full size print where the painting looks … Continue reading →

One for her

Knowlesville Posted on September 25, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Me

While we were taking pictures of Lori, she asked for one of me. I figured the uniform would lend some respectibility to my otherwise dubious character.

Lori

One of Lori’s morning rituals is conversing with her friends on a long hair internet list. She wanted a picture of her hair to share since it’s a lot longer than it was in the last picture she shared with … Continue reading →

Lost Coast Sunset

Since Lori started choir again last night, I went over to the Lost Coast with Dan Tubbs last night to take pictures at sunset. We were rewarded with a real pretty sunset and I came back with several nice photos. … Continue reading →

Our Pathetic Vegetable Garden

Knowlesville Posted on September 22, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Vegetable Garden

Speaking of deer resistance, or lack thereof, I offer our vegetable garden as proof that deer can really be pests. We planted a variety of vegetables, and so far the only thing we’ve gotten out of the garden is cucumbers. … Continue reading →

Hedging Our Future

Knowlesville Posted on September 21, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Escalonia starts

I was driving down Grizzly Bluff one day and saw the hedge that I want for our secret garden. I stopped at the house, and found out it was owned by the Silver’s. Kevin Silver is our cat’s vet. I … Continue reading →

The Buzzard Tree

Knowlesville Posted on September 20, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Buzzard Tree

One of the defining landmarks of our backyard was the buzzard tree. This was a 30-40ft tall snag that rose above the surrounding willow trees and provided a nice hangout for the local buzzards. The other morning as I went … Continue reading →

Visions of Yes

Knowlesville Posted on September 19, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Yarrow

This photo reminds of one of the covers from a Yes album. Very reminiscent of Roger Dean’s planetscapes. (If I had my records, I could tell you which one it is. Hint, Hint John) This peachy yarrow is a favorite … Continue reading →

Moonrise Over Dan’s Trees

Moonrise

Ok, so I’m no Ansel Adams. Tonight while the women went out to see Love Letters at the Rep, the guys hung out around the firepit at Dan’s house. A full moon came up over the trees just as the … Continue reading →

Crazy Teenagers

Knowlesville Posted on September 17, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Caterpillar

Just like humans, some catepillars seem to go through a rebellious stage. Such as this one. Judging from his apparel, he’s either into heavy metal or punk rock, but I’m sure as he matures he’ll mellow out. A couple of … Continue reading →

Afternoon Nap

Knowlesville Posted on September 16, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Pacific Tree Frog

I caught this little tree frog napping on the Dianellas in mid-afternoon. Normally I don’t see them out at that time of day, especially in full sun. But I guess he figured he was sufficiently camouflaged that he didn’t need … Continue reading →

Dianellas

Knowlesville Posted on September 15, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Dianellas

One of my favorite little flowers that came with us from San Jose. The flower is about the size of a fingernail, but on close inspection it is really quite charming.

One Tiny Rose

Cecille Brunner

Every once in a while we actually get a rose or two off of our rose bushes before the deer prune them. This is a tiny Cecile Brunner that showed up recently. I’ve been putting Liquid Deer Fence on the … Continue reading →

Dragonfly

Knowlesville Posted on September 13, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Dragonfly

We see dragonflies quite frequently in our backyard, and they’re always fun to watch as the hover. This red one caught my eye and even stayed posed while I went back inside to grab my flash.

Spider Season

Knowlesville Posted on September 12, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Pumpkin Spider

End of summer in Ferndale means it’s spider season. Just about every available space on the house, cars, and in the garden are covered with spider webs of one sort or another. When you walk around, the ground appears to … Continue reading →

Lost

Knowlesville Posted on September 11, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Mabel

In the TV show, the jungles are filled with man-eating monsters, numerous booby traps, wild pigs, and crazy gun toting women. This is a much kinder, gentler version of a jungle.

Mabel

The pond we visited has a rope swing. I tried talking Mabel into actually using it, but she chickened out. Instead she decided to just hang out in her Ferndale special bikini.

A New Marquee

Knowlesville Posted on September 7, 2005 by MattMay 21, 2019
Ferndale Rep marquee

The Ferndale Rep is getting a new marquee. The last one was built to dress up the theatre for the movie Outbreak. Built to typical Hollywood set standards, I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did. When they started … Continue reading →

I stretched a three day weekend into 4 days, and went out to my favorite pond for a shoot with Mabel. The exact location of this pond will have to remain a secret, but it’s pretty remote. Even though it … Continue reading →

Baby Tears

A garden without baby tears just isn’t complete. Growing up with baby tears around the pond at my parents house, I’ve always liked them, and in San Jose we planted the shady side of our garden with them, along with … Continue reading →

I went for a long motorcycle ride today, taking the KLR out around 36. I told Lori I’d be back before 7pm. As I was starting back there was a layer of high stratus clouds which usually makes for a … Continue reading →

Lori loves it when our cats stick their tongues out, and it’s something they do more often than you’d think. I don’t know why they do it, but they’ll sit there with their tongues hanging out for several minutes on … Continue reading →

Drill Night

Drill Night

Third Thursday of the month means it’s fire department drill night, and tonight’s drill was on auto extrication. That meant the jaws were out and two cars fell victim to it. As you can see, firemen and firetrucks are quite … Continue reading →
