Pier sculpture

A funky sculpture on a pier in Baton Rouge, not far from the USS Kidd. The waterfront along the Mississippi was pretty and very quiet when we were there in January last year.

Pillars and sky at the Arboretum

An old photo, taken with my first digital camera, a Canon Powershot A40. These are the old Capitol Columns at the National Arboretum. We went on a night tour there a couple of years ago, pretty spooky and fun.

Photos of the Snowpocalypse

Our street still wasn’t plowed earlier today, but enough people had driven up and down it to pack the snow down pretty well. The Mini has very little ground clearance but made it the 1/2 block to the nearest plowed street and we were free! We just went out for groceries and gas, but it was sure nice to get out of the neighborhood for a little while. Even though the big roads have been plowed there’s a lot of slush and ice all over the place.

Sign casualty BMW-shaped snow drift

Not long ago a plow finally came by. I can’t tell whether it moved any snow, but maybe the salt/sand will get some melting done before the next snow storm starts tomorrow.

The Surfbird

At the harbor in Homer last May. Part of an ongoing effort to ignore the aperture ring on my lenses.

Longline hooks

Longline hooks on a fishing boat I got to check out during a trip to Alaska last summer. I felt like a complete dork climbing down the slippery ladder and walking around the boat in my motorcycle boots.
