I often throw seed, bread crumbs, and peanuts out on my driveway for the birds. I can get great shots of them or just sit back in my cozy warm home and watch them. On December the 12th I got a visit . . .

We finally started to walk at the ponds again. After losing most of his fishing buddies William wasn't too big on going there.
It was a nice change to our recent routine. Also a great chance to photograph . . .

William noticed her first, then called me over to have a look. What I saw was a big full figured spider. I named her Ms. Freda Spider.

On August 29th, 2009 I did finally get one shot of two hummingbirds fighting. It wasn't the great shot I had hoped for but at least they are both in the same shot. These little birds are so fast . . .

Lots of red in my backyard this month. What with autumn being a week away. Flowers are still blooming and fruit is ripe.

Eccentric runs in my family. My father used his golfing putter to weed the lawn when I was a kid. So I come by it honestly.
Seems William got tired of my bow-flex and treadmill raking up so much . . .

It started raining here yesterday. I know some of you have gotten more than your share but we needed it.
Hearing of the mudslides in California brings to mind the fact that we just had one near . . .

First off let me ask, how on earth did I miss this when I snapped the photos and why didn't I notice until seven days later when taking a closer look ? I wanted to see which shot would be . . .

I decided this year to set up a big tree this year. For the last few years it has been a small fiber optic one.

Some one who can string words together nicely. Seeing that today is her last day, I thought it would be nice to have a beautiful epitaph in her honor.

Went up in the hills to visit William today. The narrow primitive dirt road was muddy and slick but we made it okay. It either came down real hard or not at all. Typical . . .
