When I stuck my head out of the rabbit hole today, I saw the news that there had been a major Flickr redesign. I was… lukewarm… at the news. Flickr… what can I say about Flickr? I’ve been a member since 2006, but I … Read More
Ah, now this is a contest I wish I could enter! It should be obvious that I have a real soft spot for small houses of course and although I may not have mentioned it, I love the style of old homes. We’ve also … Read More
Wow, it’s been nearly a month since my last update! The main reason for this post is that I’ve completed my photos from Dublin, but I realize for anyone who doesn’t check Facebook, you may not know I ever got back! It was a … Read More
Since I’ve been in my own little world lately, I figured I should get in at least one blog update before rushing off for my 6th New Years abroad. In this order, the past five were Edinburgh’s Hogmanay street party, Rome’s Piazza della Repubblica, … Read More
Okay, now for a few photos! I completed editing and uploading photos from my brief stop in Savannah last month. I still have to work on the NYC photos, but at least some progress. Savannah was beautiful and I hope you’ll all enjoy some … Read More
I had hinted on my facebook fan page that I was going to self publish a book of my photos from Egypt. And after a bit of a learning curve, it’s ready to see the light of day! It’s an opportunity for those of … Read More
I guess you could say a fair bit has been going on in my life this year. After a decade working with the same company, I’ve decided to cut ties and try something new. When I figure out what that is, I’ll let you … Read More
Things have been busy the last few weeks, but I’ve also found some time here and there (like on a plane back from Chicago one late night) to edit some of my photos. And thus I have the chance to share some of the … Read More
On our second day in La Fortuna, the only activity I had planned for the day was an activity our entire group had signed up for. I had been mentally prepping for this one the whole trip. The planned activity was zip lining, AKA … Read More
Ah, about to head off to another anonymous island in Lake Nicaragua. After Ometepe, I think I´m over the middle of nowhere now, but maybe this stop will surprise me and be stellar. But after getting into Granada and getting to be in an … Read More
Wow, it´s been several days now. I never had time in San Juan del Sur to post a blog and last night in Ometepe the only apparent computer was tied up for hours. I tried twice, once before dinner and was told the second … Read More
Yesterday morning we had an early start to get on a local bus to Liberia. Four hours of fast but largely not so scary driving. I think some others thought it was a bit hair raising, but maybe it was good I zoned out … Read More
I’m still working on photos from England in September and my next trip is literally on the horizon. I’ll be in Costa Rica just a few days after Christmas, and in Nicaragua when the New Year rolls around. I’ll accumulate more photos, so I … Read More
Okay, for weeks, I’ve been hating how dark it was in the morning. The late sunrise made it seem even harder to rise and shine. Okay, I never shine, but I do rise. Now the sun is going down too early. There is no … Read More
I’ve been back in the states for over a week now. There are days it feels like I never left in the first place. There are always a little bit of the blues whena trip ends. That’s how you know I had a good … Read More
That was my time in the UK whizzing past at a bit over the speed of sound. I fly back in the morning. I should rightly be in bed already. I for some reason thought I had a flight back around 1pm but checked … Read More
Day 3 in the UK. I wandered a lot my first afternoon. Bright and early the next morning was my meeting with the Haggis Tour bus for my Cornwall tour. It’s a relatively small group of 10, which I think is fairly good as … Read More
All in all, when I travel, I like to stay in a given place a few days. Much of my selection of the Intrepid trip I chose to Egypt earlier this year was that every night was not a different city. If I had … Read More
A few weeks ago, I got a macbook pro, as previously mentioned, and partially left the world of windows (my media center PC is still a PC). I found out (before I made the switch) that Adobe will allow you to swamp from windows … Read More
Well, first to follow up on my post about the old laptop, yes, I bought a mac. I splashed out on a macbook pro, but I bought a refurb. They carry the mac warranty (and I used the savings to get the three year … Read More
This past Saturday was the first time in ages that I’ve gotten out with my camera. It really has been that long. I came back from Egypt and less than a month later made a quick weekend dash to Boston as part of a … Read More
Okay, I can only guess at how long they’ve been awaited, but I have been very MIA of late. Nothing super exciting, but I suppose I should do a bit of updating here. The biggest thing of late has been re-doing my kitchen. I … Read More
The past few weeks have been busy as usual. Work has been demanding of late, and I’ve been trying to get ready for a photo show that was on Friday. It was one of those things I kept meaning to put out there for … Read More
Coolness! This evening I discovered that I came in first in a Lonely Planet photo challenge on flickr. It’s a weekly thing where they give out a theme and you can submit photos to the theme. This past week’s was “Most High” and my … Read More
Alas, the end of the sunrise hot air balloon photos shuffles to an end. The flight was a bit over an hour. I took a 100 pictures in the first maybe 20 minutes and then I sort of relaxed and just soaked it in. … Read More
It seems hard to believe my trip to Egypt ended over a month ago, but that was January and even February is speeding to a conclusion. Where does time go? I’ve been busy with work lately. And when not busy with work, doing some … Read More
I’m slowly getting over the crud, but Friday heading for Boston (business meeting Monday that I was able to roll into some me time). So, I’m at a standstill for the moment on editing photos. However, there are plenty of the pyramids and a … Read More
The last few days in Egypt, I had a cough, which was particularly rough when we got back to the smog of Cairo. I thought the smog was what started things, but as I looked back, it started before we returned to Cairo. Still, … Read More
Not so bright but early start to the morning. Went with Sam and a few others for late dinner last night. Neat place, not so touristy. Had Koshary again. So, got in aroun 11pm which wasn’t so bright for an early start. Had to … Read More
Let’s see, catching up from my last post… That evening, we took a little boat trip as a group across the nile to this little restaurant on the edge of the Western Desert. Great fun, but for me, so so food. The novelty of … Read More
I had grand plans today to get an early start and ride up to the mountains and catch the sunrise on what I hoped would be some good fall color. What actually happened was waking up to see the sun already having risen. Hmm… … Read More
Thursday I flew up to Boston for a Friday meeting for work. Seeing as the airfare was the same Friday afternoon or Monday morning, I was lucky to be able to take advantage of the opportunity to stay through the weekend on my own … Read More
Okay, getting ready for the show and life in general has had me hopping for weeks, so I’ve had precious little opportunity to get out with the camera. Show behind me, I figured this morning I’d get up early and get out. Of course, … Read More
The company I work for occasionally offers discount tickets to the odd event or amusement park. But for the first time in 8 years, they gave their employees and family members the opportunity to visit Atlanta’s High Museum for free! Shockers! The moment I … Read More
I’m cautiously optimistic about my knee. In the last week, I finally experienced some improvement again. When I first started physical therapy, there was definite improvement. I went from struggling up the stairs to dull yet constant pain. It was better than before, but … Read More
Not a lot of interesting news today. After last evening´s post, I found a bit nicer restaurant, more of a sports bar type place where they were watching “football” – soccer to the US. I´d done more of fast food type places, even though … Read More
