Ooh, You're Gold

Took this photo of the windmill when we stopped at Andersen's Split Pea on the way to Petaluma.  



I find little in the works of Beethoven, Berlioz, Wagner and others when they are led by a conductor who functions like a windmill.

Drive

Here's a collection of some of the photos I've taken of antique cars.  


Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

Lovesong of the Buzzard.


It's still possible to discover old buildings in the country.

I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.

About Face

I absolutely LOVE this face.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty. Coco Chanel

Miles From Nowhere

I made this photograph in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.  I appreciate all the cactus I get to observe there.


Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

Neon Wilderness


I always seem to find flowers in the most interesting of places.

 "I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess."

Written in Reverse


I've spent many hours in restaurants.
