Hot Humid Sticky Sunrise
I mentioned last week I updated and refreshed my Weekly Series posts for my website, this is one of the “new” updates called Wordless Wednesday. Since this is the first post in this new “series” it’s more of a mostly-Wordless Wednesday, which is a photo, or a few related photos, with just three things: a…

Summer Flowers and Fascinating People
Do you ever look at photos long after the fact and think about how beautiful and calm life looks (looked) in those photos? Of course they always seem to look calmer than life currently looks present day. Even if I took the image yesterday. This is what I often think about when I look at…

Photos of the 4th of July Fireworks in Auburn
Current Auburn fireworks are here while I’m still updating this page. These were taken from the airport AUO. Yes, I know I’m a little late with the fireworks pics but oh well. The fireworks in Auburn were good as always, the only thing that just kills me every year is they don’t go high enough…

A Nasty Tomato Hornworm Caterpillar Closeup
This is just about as perfect a photo of the day as I can get for summer in the south. These nasty things attack our tomato plants every year and they look so much like the plant leaves they are almost impossible to see. The only part you see is the evidence they were there…
