Leila's Curtain Dance, 2012
This house was now empty, having been sold after being in the same family since 1892,
these curtains were dancing in the autumn breeze

Blackbirds, Hardley Creek State Park
Blackbirds, Hardley Creek State Park, 2012
I was eating my lunch here just below the West Point Dam and these two tame
blackbirds came up, so I shared my turkey sandwich on wheat, with swiss and mustard,
which I found appropriate, wild birds eating flightless domestic birds raised for food
This lucky photo, from about six feet away, created one dark shape with
two hot red eyes, very masklike, and as a fan of Carl Jung I immediately
recognized it for something more than the obvious
Grizzly Island, Suisun Bay, California
Sunset Fisherman, Grizzly Island National Wildlife Refuge, Suisun Bay, California
This is where the Sacramento River empties into San Francisco Bay,
first forming Suisun Bay - a Chevron refinery at the mouth of the river
threatens the entire refuge and all the wildlife here
The grizzlies were all hunted to extinction here by Grizzly Adams
and his trigger happy hunters
Copper Ceiling, San Francisco
Ceiling Reflections, Union Square, San Francisco
This is the famous copper ceiling in the Nieman-Marcus at Union Square,
San Francisco, at Christmas. I had to climb out on a wooden beam
to take this - luckily no store employees were watching
My friend Paul is in the aisle in the foreground looking to the right
Of course, this is the photo flipped upside-down
Just after taking this, I crawled out onto a window ledge to
take the Union Square lights reflected in the window

Piegan Pass Trail, Glacier National Park
Trail to Piegan Pass, Glacier National Park, Montana
You can see two hikers on the trail about a mile ahead of us, about one-fourth
of the photo from the right edge, looking like a boulder where there are none
The 'saddle' in the mountain is the pass

This garden, and the university, have been there since 1732
It's the oldest state university grant in the U.S.
Georgia also had the first women's university, Wesleyan in Macon,
and the first black university, Moorehouse, in Atlanta
Maureen was there a lot later

Taken from the grand view point, you can see trails winding through
the spires, called 'hoodoos' in this national park, they are unique to Bryce
Brush Fire, California
Brush Fire, San Fernando Valley, California
Most of these are started by drivers flicking cigarettes out of windows, or pulling
off the highway in the dry grass, and exhaust ignites the grass
Some become major forest fires - this is how half of those start

This is actually closer to Belmont and San Bruno, but was the home of both the 49ers

went because I was a big fan of him and Willie Mays as a kid
Blossums, Mt. San Bruno State Park

I was not able to identify the type of flower, they are small, this was a macro zoon

Snow Day on Pine Mountain, 2010
Snow Day on Pine Mountain, winter 2010
This was my house in the snow that day, after it fell for about two hours, so thick I couldn't
get clear photos.. after it fell, the sun came out and then it was perfect..
I love hiking in the snow, so I now have crampons.
I hiked around my neighborhood, driving was impossible on the
steep mountain, my truck is across the road behind my house,
it took me 90 minutes to go ten miles coming down off the mountain
from work - the road was closed by the state troopers, but I
was already on it and had access to getting down
