Yesterday was a marathon day of photography. I left the house at 3:30am to shoot the Northern Lights, and didn’t get home until 5:30pm. The result was over 300 photos of a wide variety of subjects from the area bordered by Mary Lake, Jake’s Corner and Skagway. Here’s a...

I’ve been quiet here on the blog for a couple of weeks now. Life got very, very busy and there was just no time (and I wasn’t doing anything very interesting anyway), but now there’s a calm spot 🙂 This past weekend, Cathy and I made a quick trip...

November 14: Cathy and I went our separate ways today – her to go shopping at Sawgrass, me to go very, very fast in a race car at Homestead-Miami Speedway. What a nice view to enjoy our morning coffee in front of 🙂 We got off to a very...

I actually enjoy the creative process of house renovations, and this morning started a complete rebuild of the kitchen in one of our rental properties. From this angle it doesn’t look like a bad kitchen, but it’s quite worn out. This is the only part of the house that...
