New Zealand's Southern Alps

https://flic.kr/s/aHsjttfwXT I share this link over on Facebook this morning, in a conversation about New Zealand... Decided it was time to share it here, as well. The flight from Wellington on the south end of the North Island to Queenstown near the southern end of the South Island, is a fairly... Sign in to see full entry.

Skies over the Plains

On Wednesday I drove eastward from Colorado Springs to the tiny town of Peyton. I was going to meet a ceramics artist to exchange some cash for some of her lovely work. The day was windy on the ground, and from the clouds across the sky to the east and south, it was pretty windy up there, as well!... Sign in to see full entry.

Need some flowers?

Sally... Remember her? She's no longer with us except in spirit, but she loved flowers, and on another site, I had a collection called Sally's Garden. This is like that... https://flic.kr/s/aHsmMRCPK1 Sign in to see full entry.

road trip: Canyon City, CO

The day started bright and clear, and Pike's Peak was looking great from my living room. Then Charlie, Milo, and I got in the truck and drove southwest to Canyon City and beyond. The Royal Gorge area has a campground just before the road arrives at one of the biggest tourist traps in Colorado,... Sign in to see full entry.

Singapore rest-room decor

I came across a thumb drive the other day that has on it a lot of the photos that have not made it into my more generally accessible files. Now some of them have.

Cripple Creek and Victor are small towns about 7 miles apart. Both are descended from big gold mining operations, but Cripple... Sign in to see full entry.

Colorado Springs: my gardens

I've mentioned elsewhere that it was suddenly time to bring the tender plants indoors at least for a few days, as winter pays a surprise visit over the next 3 or 4 days. Here are some images of the great ingress. https://flic.kr/ps/rhS1C Sign in to see full entry.
