  • Camelbak Spider

    Along came a spider and… oh, that was another post. Went for a great mountain bike ride down in San Jose. At one of the stops my Camelbak attracted the interest of this little furry critter. I guess even spiders endorse Camelbak! Once satiated our little friend scurried off. Buh bye little furry one.

  • I Was A Spider Meal

    Click on images above for full size versions It’s that time of year again and our backyard is a playground for spiders. Had the wonderful experience the other night of walking down the steps and having a web wrap itself around my face. Let’s just say I dropped what I was carrying and quickly went…

  • Hairy Dog 3D

    I did a little experimental photography with my puppy dog. I shot two photos of the same subject (that would be Hairy dog) but from two slightly askew positions. Once the images were loaded on my computer I opened them in Photoshop. I copied the second photo and pasted it as a new layer on…

  • 2006 Burning Man

    [ Click image to view photo gallery ] This year’s (2006) Burning Man was my first adventure out to the playa. It was an amazing experience. The works of art, machinery, lights, sounds, people were a whirlwind of sensations. It’s not a trip for all to take. But for some with open minds and a…

    Click image to view full size Below the waterfall were several little stone piles sitting upon the boulders. These piles added an interesting mix to the scene. They resembled little rock people waiting around. Waiting for something or someone. What were they waiting for? The next big flood of water to wash them back into…

  • Wood Chip Portrait

    Click image for full size We were up near Yosemite last weekend. Hiked up to a nice waterfall and swimming hole. While wading through the cool refreshing (actually ice flippin cold) water, this cool wood chip floated past. It’s got nice colors and patterns. Marisha captured a photo and then I sent it sailing on…

  • Bird Meets Glass

    (Click images for full size) Here’s a photo that might force you to laugh and cry at the same time. I keep thinking of the joke “What goes through a bug’s head just before hitting a windshield?”. This poor bird hit full on into the window, wings outstretched, and left its mark. Nobody was around…

  • Along Came a Spider

    Along Came a Spider Along came a spider and sat down beside her, and frightened Miss Muffet away! Well, it was almost like that. This cute spider dropped out of an Oak tree and hovered just above a friend’s head at our dinner the other night. It’s body is about the size of a quarter.…
