Our second big fire in Big Bear
(Photo in LA Times June 19 2017) We have been in Big Bear for exactly two years now. Our first summer, and only a couple weeks after we moved here, we had the Summit Fire. It was really interesting so see how the firefighters responded. On June 19th 2017, this week, very close to where…

This is how I remember it
Entry 16 I am sure that every early adolescent kid thinks the world is revolving around them and the world is moving mighty fast. In 1964 I was 14 years old. It seemed to me that 1964 was setting the stage for changes for not only me, but the entire world. For me, 1964 set…

Why I love photography
In my time as a retired person, I have taken maybe at this point, thousands of pictures. From trips to nature to soccer games and all other grandkid adventures, I have been filling up two external hard drives with things I find interesting.

To Contemplate
Every-s0-often I come across pictures that my first reaction is: ‘I wish I would have taken that photo. Here are three that I have seen recently.
