I've been on vacation in Cambria since Monday. I wish I didn't have to leave, but I'm going home tomorrow. The weather has been great here, and I really don't want to go back to that hideous heat after getting used to wearing a sweatshirt all day.
On the other hand, I'm looking forward to being...

I know I had many faithful blog readers, so I'm sorry I let you all down. (Heh. You know I'm only kidding.)
Anyway, here are some wildflower pictures I took a while back.
For a while after the Snap Galleries came out, I wondered if I would continue PhotoBlogger or just post pictures on my...

I had been trying for days to post a photo gallery with absolutely no success, but after switching computers I finally managed to get a photo gallery posted.
I'm not sure if it's just my Internet or what, but I can't post large photos, so I tried posting my San Francisco pictures that I had...

Lost Ocean played at a local church last Monday, so I went with my sister to listen to some awesome new tunes. I vaguely remember the name of the church...Calvary something or another.
The concert didn't last long because Jeff needed to rest his voice for recording in LA the next day (Tuesday),...

I figured since less people are posting on this blog in the morning, I'd go back to bed and do it later. But I kind of slept for a long time, so I'm just now getting to it. Sorry about that.
I visited my niece-dog in the city last Saturday to celebrate her first birthday. She had a rough year,...

Does anyone know what this plant's name is? I've never seen it before. I'm not sure if it's a weed or a real plant that was inadvertently planted by a wild animal, but it was hidden among many fiddlenecks and other weeds along our property. It reminds me of a cactus. It starts out like...

Last week Tom asked about whether to keep the weekly photo themes or let this blog be a free-for-all to post whichever photos you choose to post and have taken yourself. I'm not sure what to do, so let's all discuss this together.
Without the themes, it might draw more people in because...

Good morning, everyone!
Last week we discussed what topic to choose, and Tom suggested humor, so we all agreed on it. I didn't even know it was going to be April 1 when we chose the topic, but I find the topic to be quite fitting for today's "holiday." (Perhap Tom knew it was,...

I lowered my body onto the wooden chair, the utilitarian kitchen chair.
I opened my journal to the page I had selected before I left to take a walk. My pencil waited for my hand, my writing sentry. I noticed it looked slightly haughty to be my chosen writing partner.

This is just a little ditty of a tale starting with an early morning train ride from Bako to San Fran to pick up a car. I had not taken a real train ride before, and I do not know if it was because it was early or just because that is the way it is, but there were not a lot of people on...

Hey, guys --
I was reading the blogs last week and Tom had mentioned something about perhaps starting a photography blog. No one said anything about it, but the next morning I was taking pictures of the fog and had time to think about it, and I found the idea intriguing.
So, Tom, if anyone else...

I love this photo that Californian photographer Casey Christie took one afternoon last week.
The sky was definitely eerie last weekend, to say the least. A friend joked that it was signally the Apocalypse. And I know it wasn't healthy to be breathing in all that ash.
Locusts anyone?

A couple of days ago I posted my travel plans for the week. Unlike the last extended journey I attempted, there have been no technical failures, but let's just say the plan has been a little, ummm...loose. More about that later. But first I have to share this with you guys.

Greetings everyone from Oakhurst, Ca.
It has been a while since Road Show has actually been "on-the-road." First there was the 1000 mile day fiasco which some of you may remember, then the Beemer required major surgery.
How do you like my homemade ignition timing device?
