Playing Dirty
While I was working on the Sprint, I noticed that several tires were flat on the ATV. It hasn’t really been used all year because when we started on the garage, it sat outside and the battery went dead. So … Continue reading →

Collingwood Inn
The Collingwood Inn recently got a new paint job so I thought it would be good to take some pictures of it during Christmas. Missed a great sunset on the 29th, but at least it wasn’t raining.

Even as much as Lori loves her Macintosh, I don’t think she understands this recent purchase of mine. As I mentioned earlier, I have a bit of a computer museum going on in my garage. Starting with my Commodore 64, … Continue reading →
A Lousy Tradition
I would have liked to spent today’s entry telling you about the nice Christmas we had. But in what has unfortunately become a day after Christmas tradition around here, our yard once again became a dumping ground for Williams Creek. … Continue reading →
Keeping it lit
This year we seemed to have endless trouble keeping our Christmas lights lit. It seemed on any one night either the damp conditions would cause the GFI circuit breaker to trip, or the timer would malfunction and wouldn’t turn the … Continue reading →
Lighted Tractor Parade
Last night was Ferndale’s Lighted Tractor Parade, one of my favorite Ferndale events. Lot of entries this year and it was nice to see the Leonardi’s back in the fray after a year’s absence. Bansen’s brought their train back to … Continue reading →
Modern Safety
A current thought in automotive safety is that vehicles are getting so safe that drivers feel too comfortable doing things in their vehicles other than driving. Case in point is this accident. I can’t say what was going on in … Continue reading →
Failed its First Test
When we were assembling our green house this summer, one concern we had was how it would survive our winter storms. Apparently, not well. The windows are plastic sheets that are held in with little wire clips and it doesn’t … Continue reading →
Timber!
Here’s Matt desicating the countryside in the name of decorating the home for the holidays. Althought it looks like he’s trying to hide his identity, he did have a valid permit for this endeavor. For only ten dollars you can … Continue reading →
Something Ferny Going On
Maybe this is why they called it Ferndale? They say a rolling stone gathers no moss, but apparently a rolling 4×4 can gather a few ferns. Found this vehicle in the Ferndale parking lot.

When I got up this morning it looked like it was going to be a nice sunrise. I pondered for a few minutes whether I should run to work and grab the camera and then go out to Fernbridge to … Continue reading →
Moon over the Gingerbread
Looking on the calendar I saw we had a full moon coming up so with the clear weather that we’ve been enjoying, I thought I would get a photo of the moon rising behind the Gingerbread. Only problem was it … Continue reading →
Raising a Star
First Sunday in December means it’s time to put the lights up on the town Christmas tree. This year we were blessed with pretty good weather for the task. No rain, and the temperature wasn’t too bad either for an … Continue reading →
Santa’s Coming to Town
Walking down the street to the post office this morning Engine 2 went by. Looks like Company 2 has a new recruit. I guess Santa’s getting tired of all that cold and wanted a job with action on more than … Continue reading →
Another One Bites the Dust
After 5 years of faithful service, my first digital SLR, this Fuji S1 Pro, died a quiet death. All it could say was ERR on the display. Researching it on the web, it seemed a common way for it to … Continue reading →
Cape Sebastian
The rain continued, rather heavy at times, so once again photo ops were limited. We did stop at one spot for a hike down to some very scenic bluffs. In between rain squalls I was able to take a few … Continue reading →
Lori’s T-Rex
Today we continued our drive down the Oregon coast. It rained most of the day so it wasn’t too conducive to taking pictures. Towards the end of the day we passed Prehistoric Gardens. Lori was surprised to see it still … Continue reading →
Uncle Dave’s Cabin
Well, actually it’s a double wide, but the setting is so nice you don’t really notice. On our way out of Woodinville, we crossed the sound to visit Lori’s uncle in Lilliwaup. How nice it must be to have your … Continue reading →
Seattle Underground
Ever since hearing about it several years ago, I have wanted to go on the Seattle Underground tour. Lori went on it this summer on her vacation with her sister and came back raving about it. So much of the … Continue reading →
At the Hoopers
Thanksgiving was spent in Woodinville, at the Hoopers. My camera’s batteries were charging while everyone was enjoying a scrumptious feast, and since I knew others were taking photos too I didn’t worry about it. So this isn’t what I’d call … Continue reading →
Melaine the Pirate, Part II
Melaine was back in town again, and we decided to dress her up as a pirate once again since I found the eye patch I had bought earlier. I’m thinking now that this is the start of a four part … Continue reading →
Everything in its Proper Place
Well one thing breaking my toe last week did was to motivate me to install the molding in my room so it wouldn’t be a hazard in the hall anymore. Now that I have a compound miter saw I could … Continue reading →
Westport Waves
On my way home from Fort Bragg I stopped in Westport for gas. Without knowing that I was a photographer, the clerk mentioned that there is a beautiful spot to take pictures nearby and pointed the way to it for … Continue reading →
On the Rocks
I had to go down to Fort Bragg today for a business meeting and had some time afterwards to take pictures. Under the Noyo Bridge I came across this boat that took a rather unorthodox approach to docking. Not sure … Continue reading →
Toe Jam
Three years ago we bought a bunch of molding to trim the ceilings in the parlor and in my room. We installed the molding in the parlor right away, but the rest of it has been sitting in a pile … Continue reading →
Smokin’
We had a little bit of time between when we finished with the vintage clothing and when I needed to leave for the chamber meeting, so Lori suggested shooting the vest she recently purchased. I figured this would be a … Continue reading →
Kristina
I had a photoshoot yesterday afternoon with a new model and had planned to spend the morning getting everything ready for it. The fire took up most of that time so then I thought we would just shoot outdoors, since … Continue reading →
$200K up in flames
My pager went off this morning at 5:30am, and the first report of fire sounded like it was going to be the typical river bar fire that always seems to disturb my weekend sleeping. Since it had been raining I … Continue reading →
Lazy Sunday
ust another picture of the cats doing what they do best. While they were being lazy, I spent more time with the chain saw cutting the willow tree into smaller and smaller pieces.
Continue reading →A Terabyte
A few new pieces of hardware have been added to the desk. First, I finally broke down and bought a tablet. I got a Wacom Graphire 4 that also includes a cordless mouse. Still getting used to using the pen. … Continue reading →
Where’s Andy?
Halloween morning in Ferndale sees a procession of tiny kids making their way through the commercial district trick or treating. First in line was Raggedy Ann and it was nice seeing a few parents are still into making costumes.
