The Picture (Plu)perfect Bit
Ah, photo management in the digital age! Life is so easy now that we can fill the ether with edited and annotated snaps! Trouble is I still have a gigantic storage box full of hopelessly disorganized media from other ages. Included in this herd of Kodachrome cats are frayed photographs, 35mm slides, and negatives of […]
The Bit in “Plane” View
I just love a good view – from the higher up the better! Earlier this year when I flew from LA to New York, I took advantage of the opportunity to grab a few high elevation shots along the way! Afterwards, I was inspired to take a stroll through my photo collection in search of […]
NYC: The Big Apple ‘Speed Date’ Bit (Part 2)
Welcome to Part 2 of my “speed date” with New York City! The thing is I was barely in Manhattan 24 hours (a few of which were spent sleeping), so there wasn’t time for the proper tour of a museum, or the taking in of a musical or a play. Like a speed date situation, it […]
Ireland: The Unexpected Touchstone Bit (Part 1)
It’s known as the Emerald Isle! A land of lush green countryside, brimming with character and magic that can cast such a potent spell, it beckons us to return there as home even when we’ve never once been – And, if we may, we follow. I’ve had the good fortune to visit Ireland on half […]
Alaska: The Outside View Bit
Unbelievable how time flies! It’s been nearly eight years since I was in a bar in Juneau, Alaska, ordering a particular drink for downing swiftly – and five years before then that I took a tentative sip of that potent concoction for the very first time! More specifically, I was in a “saloon” in Juneau. […]
The Just Deserts Bit
Nope – not a type-o. Although sweet desserts are irresistible to me (too much so…), there’s also something I can’t resist about exploring deserts in all their forms! And the more I learn, the more I wonder just what each is truly about! For starters, I’ve long thought that I live in a desert – […]
A Tidbit: Scale Fails…
Scale is the subject of this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge! And it spurred me to offer my “perspective” on an area in which I think I need a bit of work… For instance – any idea what this is? At a glance, it might seem like some idle scribblings in the dirt. Or the work of […]
A Tidbit: Layers in Time
Greetings! The latest weekly WordPress Photo Challenge of Layered made me think of this photo from a recent trip to Columbia, California. It’s a shot of an old blacksmith shop and it speaks to me not just of a moment in time but of a moment in history too! Columbia State Historic Park is a lovingly preserved example […]
A Tidbit: Transient Sky
This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge, Transient, made me think of views I’ve enjoyed of the ever-changing sky and sea! Recently, Mum and I took off for a short trip to the California coast with all kinds of ideas about where we’d go and what we’d see. But once we got settled in, all our other plans […]
A Tidbit: Taliesin West
This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is Order – a concept which, if I’m honest, has never played a large role in my life (afraid I’ve always tended toward the messy…). Though I have little personal experience – and no expertise whatsoever – when it comes to order, the word did make me think of my visit to Taliesin […]
