So, I am fully vaccinated and before they tell me that I have shed all my antibodies I’m getting on a plane!!! Certain eye problems have slowed me down so this may not actually take place until late June, but I have been making road trips. Two favorites within a 3 hour drive are St…
So, I’ve been home for about 2 weeks now while Spring started breaking out here in Georgia. To that end, I set up a bird feeder a few yards from the house and am taking advantage of floor to ceiling windows to shoot the birds. I still haven’t gotten the hang of identifying birds, but…

Taliesin was Wright’s home and laboratory, while Fallingwater is perhaps his greatest work. In between,…
So, shortly after the 4th of July, I hit the road in search of Frank Lloyd Wright houses & cooler temperatures and succeed on both fronts. Additionally, I discovered that Michigan has a lot of lighthouses. I also spent several lovely days on Mackinac Island, but, sadly, they discourage drones because the horses do all…
So, Oregon mostly lived up to it’s reputation for a wet, gray winter, but that just made it all the more spectacular when the sun came out or the odd wind surfer in almost gale force winds. Related Images:
If I’ve seemed a bit distant lately, it’s likely because I’ve been to some of the most remote places on the planet. First I went to the Isle of Horn which is the southern most point of land outside of Antarctica. Then to the most remote airport in the world on Easter Island aka Isla…
