One of the reasons my site has the “Site Under Maintenance” notice at the top is that the site was hacked a while back and the source of the hack seemed to be in the images. We were able to take them down and successfully stop the hacking. In the meantime, our storage server broke. […]

A Blue Heron Kind of Day
For the first time ever, I had a zoom lens in my possession. It was tricky to figure out where to use it on its virgin excursion. I considered Holy Hill because it’s the most beautiful time of year to take pictures there, but I’ve been there so often and it’s always overcrowded during the beautiful […]

Review: The World Without Us
The World Without Us by Alan Weisman My rating: 4 of 5 stars Definitely enjoyed taking my mind through this great big what-if experiment. And I loved learning that America used to have giant ground sloths. A lot of the information on pollution was depressing, of course. View all my reviews
