Mostly it has been my fault — not paying attention to the softness of the ground but once the wind knocked it down and like you it didn’t make me smile…

Was that real or constructed?

I want to make the picture someday but only if I’m not actually standing out in the open miles from shelter…

I’m a giant in some pix and tiny in others. The truth is somewhere in between.

I use a Sirui T-025X Carbon Fiber Tripod with C-10X Ball Head — one that bob skoot highly recommended and despite the steep cost it is just a fantastic piece of gear and I use it often.

I’m shooting almost everything, including these pictures, with a Canon G15. Only slightly more expensive than the tripod by a hundred dollars.

Junior, Kim and I all know how to relax. Timing it to happen at the same time is the challenge!

I forget sometimes how nice it is here to not have so much traffic. There are always tradeoffs living in a more rural area but that’s one of the positives.

Last week I was reunited with my bike so during the weekend, my partner and I went riding on our scooters. Terrible weather for riding but after 15 months separated from the scoots, it didn’t matter. Riding somehow completes the picture and makes the world big again.

We had a bad storm here a week or so ago in upstate NY that blew my GTS right over. I was not a happy camper.
