Chatterbox Falls is located at the end of a timeless fjord known as Princess Louisa Inlet in British Columbia. Its waters cascade from steep cliffs to make a final 80 foot plunge into seawater just beyond the docks in this photo. The entrance to the inlet is guarded by insanely dizzying tidal rapids that yieldContinue reading “Princess Louisa Inlet”

Piper Clipper
This is the airplane that flew over the mountains on the brink of winter in yesterday’s blog, and is the airplane that I truly learned to fly in. It was built in 1949 and was simple, rugged, and functioned like an airborne jeep. I flew it in and out of hayfields and a golf courseContinue reading “Piper Clipper”
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

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”
Big Mouth
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.
Good Place Not to Be
A narrow, rough side trail branched off the Pipiwai trail to the edge of this waterfall. 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!
