some older shots

This is the house that my family and I will be moving to next year if all goes well. It is my grandfather's home, however he is in a nursing home now, and so we'll be moving in as long term caretakers. I hope to buy it from the estate eventually, but a lot of things have to happen first.

another product of my environment shot

Just showing how 'oppressive' that cliff felt when I viewed the house. actually a whole row of houses. I suppose it could also be viewed as 'I've got your back' and the houses are all nestled beneath its protective bulk.









peppers

I was cutting up some bell peppers for tonight's dinner and their bold colors struck me.

Road shots I wish I hadn't been Able to take


View of the parking lot I got stuck in the other day. Yes I was out of the vehicle when I took that shot.






here's where the truck behind the towtruck jumped the median barrier





not his best day I'm sure. However the damage is repairable, and he kept it upright. he ripped off his fuel tanks going across the guardrail. I think he hydroplaned on his way back to the terminal after making his deliveries. There were some pretty nasty rain storms that day.

the awning had a sign: Things for sale














the old Jimmy was in surprisingly good shape:













The tub seemed to me that it was reaching for the sky... perhaps trying to fly?
