THE CHANGING SEASONS, MAY 2023
The Changing Seasons, May 2023 It has been strange month in many ways. But it has been a strange year. We are coming into June, so that’s almost half a year gone. It doesn’t feel like half a year. It doesn’t… Read More ›
MORE GREAT BLUE HERON
I took a lot of pictures, so I got a few more ready to go. I am going to make a print of one of these — but I’m not sure which one. This means I was doing double duty… Read More ›

DOWN BY THE MUMFORD DAM
Marilyn’s photos, Garry’s will follow! It was a cool, cloudy day — perfect for photography. No bright sun to burn out the pictures. My camera was on its best behavior. I didn’t know how good that 200 mm telephoto lens… Read More ›
SPILLWAYS
CBWC: Fountains and Sprinklers There are no fountains in this town. We don’t use sprinklers much because we are always being careful of water use. So when I went looking for pictures of fountains or sprinklers, I found nothing. I couldn’t… Read More ›
FLOWING WATER
CMMC – February Pick a Topic from my Photo Living, as we do, in a river valley, we do not suffer from an absence of appropriate waterways. We have two close friends — and both of them also live in river… Read More ›
WHEN WHEN WE HAD INDUSTRY
Living as we do in the valley where America birthed its own (100 years after they had done it all over Europe and England) industry, we can see what remains of the mills and factories that were formerly here. The… Read More ›
WHEN IS IT TOO LATE?
Who amongst us does not procrastinate? I never did. I did everything early. I figured if I did what I didn’t want to do first, I could stop fretting about it. This concept died the day I retired. Now, I… Read More ›

FOTD – October 9 – Glowing trees by the Mumford dam It didn’t freeze last night, but it got pretty close. In response, every tree lit up as though they are glowing from within. My ability to process photographs is… Read More ›
THE CHANGING SEASON – SEPTEMBER 2022
Not Quite Autumn: The Changing Seasons, September 2022 And so the seasons turn and now, it’s autumn. The leaves are beginning their change, but aren’t quite there yet. I think they will fully change during the next couple of days…. Read More ›
WHAT’S A WATERSHED?
It’s a good question because unless you live in or near one, the expression doesn’t mean much except “Hey, there’s a lot of water around here!” Obviously that’s true, but there’s a bit more to it than that. As you… Read More ›
SPRING AGAIN – GARRY ARMSTRONG

WORLD SHARING AND IT’S MAY
SHARE YOUR WORLD 5-10-2022 I just had one of those WordPress experiences that makes me doubt my sanity, doubt their sanity, then realize that there is no sanity and I should just give up. I though WordPress had done a new… Read More ›
EDGES AND LEDGES!
CFFC: Edges and Ledges In a rare act of cooperation, the photographs I was looking for popped up immediately. Garry used to like edges and ledge, but that was a while back. I don’t think he’d be out there now.
WATER WATER EVERYWHERE
CFFC: Water We live between rivers, amidst stream and dams and waterfalls. There are many problems in the valley, among them a lack of work and a fair bit of poverty — but I have always thought the beauty of… Read More ›

THE CHANGING SEASONS: SEPTEMBER 2021
The Changing Seasons: September 2021 It hasn’t (until today) been a magical month for photography. Of course there are a few birds and some awfully cute squirrels. And lets not forget the chrysanthemums and the other flowerbox blossoms. Mostly what we… Read More ›
