Mazda Miata

What is your all time favorite automobile? My Miata near Lake Tahoe.

Currently, Barbara and I are staying at an RV park near Orlando, Florida and based on our observations since arriving, whoever named Florida the Sunshine State, is full of crap. LOL! It has been cool and overcast almost everyday since we arrived. That being said, I have ventured out a few times with my cameraContinue reading “Outside”

Bok Tower Gardens

This past Sunday, Barbara and I traveled south with our friends Scott and Lori to see the Bok Tower Gardens. In 1922, Edward Bok purchased a 14-acre property know as Iron Mountain, 298 feet above mean sea level, at that time the highest point in the state of Florida. Bok then hired famed landscape architectContinue reading “Bok Tower Gardens”

Three Sisters Springs

This past Tuesday, Barbara and I visited the Three Sisters Springs Wildlife Refuge on the Crystal River in Kings Bay, Florida. Three years ago we visited here in search on manatees, but unfortunately, we didn’t see any. During this visit we hit the jackpot. The guide at the refuge indicated that there were more thanContinue reading “Three Sisters Springs”

Beaver Moon

Yesterday, I got out my telescope, and last evening, I took photos of the last super moon of the year, the Beaver Moon. Now, this was the first time I have been able to take photos using my telescope. I started out with the moon as it is easy to find and track in theContinue reading “Beaver Moon”

McIntosh Lake

We arrived at this RV park yesterday and after setting up, Ellie and I took a short hike to look around. This RV park only has 22 RV spaces, but it has all of the amenities you would want. It also has a lake, a wonderful view, and some critters who would actually allow meContinue reading “McIntosh Lake”

The Milky Way

In July of 2023, Barbara, Toby and I were staying at the Blue Mesa RV Park with our friends Keith and Janice, outside of Gunnison, Colorado. One night I got up early and attempted to take photos of the Milky Way. I like the way these photos turned out, especially since this was my firstContinue reading “The Milky Way”

Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (Encore)

Last evening I walked down to the shore of Lake Gaston in hopes of viewing and photographing the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet one more time before it disappears. I don’t believe I will be alive the next time it passes by the earth. This time I tried taking photos using my 150 to 600mm zoom lens toContinue reading “Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (Encore)”

Lake Gaston

Fall is definitely in the air here in North Carolina. Today’s forecast indicates a high of 59 degrees with a low of 45 degrees. I actually had to put on my “Big Boy Pants” this morning. But here we have pine trees all around us, fresh air, and most of all, peace and quiet. Everyday,Continue reading “Lake Gaston”

Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

Last night, I walked down to the shore of Lake Gaston, North Carolina, as the sun was setting. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet currently visible in the evening sky. As I waited for the comet to make its anticipated appearance, I took some photos of the sunset, which IContinue reading “Tsuchinshan-ATLAS”
