Snowy Ghost

Charlie Love and I set out in my Piper Clipper to get pictures of the Knife Point Glacier in the mid 1980’s. He was a geologist at Rock Springs Community College and was studying the retreat of the glacier. It was September, and this was the last chance we had to get pictures before winter’sContinue reading “Snowy Ghost”

Springing to Life

While on our walk in the Cross Florida Greenway yesterday we discovered spring in full bloom, even though farther north, the country is still in winter’s grasp. Now I know the answer to the question I often heard while growing up in Nebraska this time of year: W-w-w-why w-w-w-would anyone ever w-w-w-want to m-m-m-move toContinue reading “Springing to Life”

Rocks in My Head

Since childhood I have been interested in rocks and minerals. Nearly every time I walked over the the Platte River by our farm, I came back with rocks picked up from its banks or sandbars. The dread question when adults would come to visit was, ”Do you want to see my rock collection.” Politely, theyContinue reading “Rocks in My Head”

Regarding the caption, you decide to which or to whom it applies. Suffice it to say that this is as close as I ever hope to come to being inside a shark.

It was dry and provided an interesting perspective to the canyon when we visited in 2005 as seen in the two upper photos. But it wasn’t such a good idea, and the photo from 2021 shows why. The perchContinue reading “Good Place Not to Be”

Chickadee Blues

Hey bluebird wake up; you are about to lose the house we put up for you to a chickadee. Snooze, ya lose!

Sunsets and Boats

Something there is about sunsets and boats that says: ”Made for each other.”

The Great Panzini

A lovely pansy blooms on the cusp of spring. YAY, bring it on!

Two Fine Horses

Seen near The Cove in Inverness, Florida, under an oak canopy over soft sandy soil were two very fine horses. As can be seen in the photo, they are out, standing.

Two Heavenly Piccolominis

At a recent wine tasting my ears perked up at the sound of the Italian “Piccolomini” wine since I am well familiar with a crater on the Moon of the same name. In the lower cental photo, the crater is next to the bottle of wine. Piccolomini crater is 53 miles in diameter and hasContinue reading “Two Heavenly Piccolominis”
