This afternoon while I was enjoying the company of family, I noticed a woodpecker land on a nearby tree. I ran inside, grabbed my camera, installed my largest lens and went to work trying to get some photos of this elusive bird. It seemed like every time I would find a good vantage point, theContinue reading “Woodpecker”

Hopper woke me up early this morning. So after I took care of his needs I decided to go looking for some river otters. It was cold out this morning, 34 degrees, so the water temperature was warmer than the ambient air, which made for some interesting photographs. However, as you can tell from theContinue reading “Misty Morning”

After Christmas things have been slow in northern California while we wait for parts to make minor repairs to our trailer. After the December rain and snow the weather has turned sunny but cold and sometimes windy, so my time outside has been limited. During the month of January we travelled between the Thousand TrailsContinue reading “Slow Time”

This morning I braved the cold, it was 35 degrees, in an attempt to get some photos of the local river otter. I did get to see him or her, but it was too fast for me to get a photo. I was sitting at the river’s edge when it popped up in front ofContinue reading “Wildlife”

This morning I got up and my legs were sore due to my eight mile hike yesterday. So I drank some juice, green tea and Muscle Milk and took another hike to work the soreness out. This time I only hiked 3.8 miles, but found another trail on the far side of the river thatContinue reading “Coloma”

Yesterday the rain finally subsided so I checked out the AllTrails app on my phone to see if there were any trails in the Coloma area that I haven’t hiked. As it turns out there is a trail, not too far from camp, that has a nice looking waterfall and with the recent rains IContinue reading “Dutch Creek and Johntown Falls”

On Wednesday I drove a few miles to the east to take advantage of the local farmland, the waterfowl on the Pacific Flyway and the evening sunset. I wasn’t disappointed. In this area the farmer’s fields are filled with water, there are plenty of waterfowl enjoying the fields, and with the rain earlier in theContinue reading “California Farmland and the Sunset”

Barbara and I landed in California just before Thanksgiving and have not been feeling well since. Approximately 10 days ago we were both diagnosed with Covid-19. Due to this I have not been taking any photos and have not been posting to my blog. I did get out and take a few photos before IContinue reading “Under the Weather”

This morning Barbara and I decided to brave the cold and visit the Garden of the Gods. As it turned out it was a good call. The last time we visited the park there were so many people that in most places we couldn’t find a parking spot and when we could there were soContinue reading “Garden of the Gods”

This morning Barbara and I took the cog-train to the top of Pikes Peak.  Pikes Peak is my favorite place in the entire world.  I have been to the top every way a person can.  I have taken the cog-train up, twice now, I have driven up and down the road more times than IContinue reading “Rocky Mountain High”
