    Blossom Road Reclamation

    Every so often I undertake what I like to call a “reclamation project”. These result from not doing a good job of things in the field. They start when you are looking at your image catalog in Lightroom and you say, “I wish I had…” It has been a over a year since my trip…

  • Cable Cutter

    Cable Cutter

    I loved these badly weathered window shutters and the crumbling concrete around them, but short of trespassing or serious vandalism there was absolutely no way to get this white cable out of the picture. I took the photo anyway in the hopes that I could ”redeem it in post” (i.e., post-processing). Unfortunately, I gave little…

    Volcanic Dawn

    Apparently not everyone is fond of rattlesnakes, so this post begins a series about Hawaii instead. While there are no venomous snakes in Hawaii, this little corner of Oahu is covered in vicious lava rock spikes that seem even more dangerous.

    Raking the Grass in Lofoten

    While in Lofoten this past May, I spent a few days exploring the islands by car. One of the places I visited was Unstad, which has a nice beach that is popular with—believe it or not—surfers. It’s a pretty area, but

    Day-Glow Gecko

    As I was waiting for my order at a parking lot food truck at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, I noticed this gecko

    The summer monsoons are frequent visitors to Tucson during July, August, and September.

  • Thumbs-Up!

    Thumbs-Up!

    As mentioned in an earlier post, last month I spent a few hours exploring the Painted Hill Trail in Tucson, Arizona. In that post, I alluded to a bizarre crested saguaro—well, this is it.
