Salmon Chanted Morning
11-11-2006During this time of year, the salmon migrate upstream along the American River. Fishermen like to get out really early and line up a nice buffet spread for the salmon, hoping to adopt one to bring home and occupy a large pan. On this morning, the sunlight hit the water and created a very moody … Continue reading Salmon Chanted Morning
Falling leaves at the lake
10-30-2006The last of the fall colors are on display in the Sierra Nevada mountains. This was taken at (appropriately named) Fallen Leaf Lake.There is something inspirational about a lone display of color in an otherwise monochromatic world. It reminds me of the one cheerful person on a crowded commuter train.◄ ♦ ►
Passing gas
10-10-2006When ten people order dinner at a restaurant and ask for separate checks, the server frowns at them. However, when ten apartments all share the same natural gas supply, they each get a separate meter. I bet the gas company never comes up short or gets stiffed on the tip.Seems like the restaurants could learn … Continue reading Passing gas
Morning blast – no foam
10-02-2006There is nothing soft about this image. The light is harsh, the concrete is unforgiving, and air heats up quickly. With a sight like this first thing in the morning, who needs coffee? ◄ ♦ ►
Over the Boardwalk
09-16-2006The Giant Dipper rollercoaster has been rocking and rolling at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk since 1924 (the year before my mother was born). By today's rollercoaster standards, it is pretty tame. There are no loops or spirals, no straight free-falls, and you don't go backwards. It is however, still my favorite. I think some … Continue reading Over the Boardwalk

This event supports local children's art programs by selling squares of a sidewalk to artists to decorate with chalk. The sidewalk surrounds a local park, the size of one city block.This particular sidewalk square reminds us that September … Continue reading Chalk one up to history
One man’s trash…
08-20-2006Every year, the city sets up Annual Neighborhood Clean Up Days. Instead of residents hauling trash to the dump, the city comes down our street and hauls it away for us. All we have to do it place the junk at the curb. It's a great convenience. The City Annual Neighborhood Clean Up Day (CANCUD) … Continue reading One man’s trash…
What a difference 17 years makes
08-11-2006Sometimes in your life you grab a few friends and take off for a road trip for the heck of it. And at some point on the way, someone in the group says, "Hey, let's take a picture!"The top photo was taken in 1989 at the lagoon of the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. Our kids … Continue reading What a difference 17 years makes
A view to remember
08-03-2006This photo was taken from the observation deck of the World Trace Center in Manhattan. Yes, that World Trade Center. (Hey, I never promised that these photos were taken on the day I published them.) This photo was taken in 1998, I think.The two bridges in the foreground are the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge. … Continue reading A view to remember
