That's because of this kitchen, which will be done soon. Lots of family stuff, lots of back & forth to SoCal with camera in tow and no time for pics. It sometimes comes down to being in the moment or taking a picture of the moment and missing it. Can't remember the last time I … Continue reading Not a writing/photography summer

Too much road time
It finally caught up with me, down for the count. It could actually be allergies and exhaustion from the super bloom too?? It's so beautiful out, but with the allergy season that's going to be huge I'm afraid to go outside! So what have I been up to since I haven't been able to blog? … Continue reading Too much road time
Bend, Oregon
Last stop, what a great adventure this has been...nothing like a lengthy road trip to make you appreciate a nice shower and super sonic toothbrush. My husband has been the concierge while I just drove, letting him know where I was going to be the next night then an email reservation would pop up and … Continue reading Bend, Oregon
Eugene, OR
Not the best time of year to travel through here, better than last week when the Amtrak train got stuck in the snow for 3 days. It rain/snowed on my drive, making it easy to get over the passes that were either closed or chain controlled last week too. This is my first trip ever … Continue reading Eugene, OR
Rain forevermore
Good thing my house is set up for indoor days right now and still kind of recovering. By the end of this storm I should be good to go again. I'm not missing anything, even skiing, by staying home this week. I just hope my friend's baby isn't born in this, Seattle has had more … Continue reading Rain forevermore
Camera Ready
The problem with getting older and being a half-ass photographer is that to keep up you have to upgrade your equipment every few years. I upgraded a few months ago to a Sony a7ii with a 28-70mm lens. It was a package deal from Mike's camera last November, it's replacing a Sony Nex5 I've been … Continue reading Camera Ready
Stranger Danger
Usually I don't talk to many people when I travel. I wouldn't call this traveling right now, I've been here a bunch to see my son with a little bit of a routine going when I'm here... Walk the dog, grab whatever my son needs while I'm here, lunch, piano, then latte. The dog will … Continue reading Stranger Danger
Now I’m really choking
Smoke in Walnut Creek on the worst day from my drone After the first rain... That smoke finally nailed me!! Been down for days with chills and no voice. It didn't help that we haven't changed our heater filter downstairs forever, I forgot we had a heater down there until our son moved … Continue reading Now I’m really choking
Didn’t mean a fire storm!!
My last post was titled "Calm before the Storm," meaning the holidays. This week NorCal has been socked in with fires and smoke. That Paradise fire affected almost all of NorCal, even hundreds of miles away. It's the worst fire in California history, the death toll keeps rising. We've just been nailed with fires all … Continue reading Didn’t mean a fire storm!!
Drone Shots
Forgot how much I like flying the drone when it comes back and mission accomplished. They asked me to take some pictures of a regatta that was a few miles out, I haven't practiced launching (or landing) from a boat so I had to do it on land. There are a ton of FAA restrictions … Continue reading Drone Shots
