Birds of Prey Atelier
Hello July
I’m on the tail end of my recovery and ready to hit the studio hard in about a week. I’m also going to be getting back into some of my old trades of clothing and textiles. I’m not 100% sure where that will go, but it’s bound to bring inspiration back to the jewels! Big […]
All This and Nothing
Do you ever think to yourself, I need to *insert any given thing here*, but get sidetracked with other things? Then that thing pops into your head again, you write it down and it still doesn’t happen. Well, that’s been me lately with journal content. Work and life keep getting in the way, not to […]
Snow Daze
Thursday morning, whilst on my morning walkabout, I saw snow in the hills up at the park. I briskly dragged my dog along so I could hurry and see it up close. I knew exactly where to go but was worried that road conditions could be iffy. Luckily I got there early enough and the […]
All the Things I Love
Well some of them anyway. Thunderstorms, abandoned buildings, good pals and taking pictures. One of my ladybirds from the north is in town visiting and I’ve been playing tour guide the past couple of days. Today we made our way to the outskirts of Wonder Valley. Here are some outtakes. I’m always a fan of taking […]
Stories From the Road
I went on a whirlwind trip through the southwest over the past few days with one of my best pals. My brain is practically mush but I had a fantastic time, scored some stones and made memories to last a lifetime. Here’s a few random pictures of our adventures. Rio Grande Gorge, old ghosts banished […]
This Week’s Morning Sights
As I walked out for the daily morning walkabout, I saw a bird flying in my direction. It perched on the power line pole and we watched each other for a few moments until it flew over my head – so low I could feel the breeze of its wings! I snapped this terrible picture […]
Road Dog
Pretty much every morning is spent wondering with this chick. She’s my constant companion, a source of laughter and sometimes frustration, but always love. This morning, in typical fashion, she surveyed the land for birds and rabbits, as I watched the sunrise.
no swimming
Explaining to the pup why she can’t go swimming. I once lived just down the road from here, in Big Bear City. I spent my kid years playing in the woods and skiing the slopes. In those years, this part of the lake was full of water. So much water, that during an allergic […]
Hell Fire
On Wednesday, a fire broke out near Barton Flats, here in California. I typically awake with the sun but on Thursday morning my inner alarm clock was screaming at me to get up. It appeared too dark through the cracks of my blinds to be time to rise, only upon finding my phone I saw […]
Rediscovery
Sometimes, when you live somewhere it’s easy to get caught up in the day to day and not explore your surroundings. This used to be me. However, in the last few years I’ve changed that. So when I had to go to Tahoe a couple of days ago, to care for my friend, post surgery, […]
