It rained last night after I went to bed—big, booming, thunderous rain. This morning the world is transformed from the sticky heat of yesterday.

I’m thinking this little guy isn’t quite relaxed about me or my camera…interfering with the nut gathering and all.

These images are from days 73-108 of my ongoing commitment to take a photo at least once a day for a year. Seeing daily life this way helps to clarify and define. ”So, THIS is what I’ve been doing. Amazing.”

Five hours in the car and I’m here. Butte County Courthouse. I drove up through the Bay Area and into this arid land filled with peach, kiwi and walnut orchards, to bear witness. Just 30 miles out from my destination I slowed because of an accident, causing me to worry that I might be late [...]

I’m gonna try something new: A page where I post mostly photos, likely following a theme. Not too many words from me…pictures speaking their thousand words for themselves! I hope you enjoy them.
