My Photo
Name:
Location: Weaverville, California, United States

Since my 'forced' retirement on June 23rd, 2005, I'm trying to build an 'at home' business via the Internet and learning more about using my digital camera, eh!! The picture is of ME & Kathy, my wife who's one bad ass Quilter!! We will be adding some of her handiwork too. I'd love to hear from computer & graphics people so I can learn more and we'd both love to hear from Quilters too!!

Squirrel, Fresh Snow, Lucy, Full Moon, Sunrise, Snowy Mts, Misc, Autos & Bikes


Hi Everyone, ... see all my pics here ...

I have more variety for you today, including a couple shots of our FRESH SNOW!! ;-)) I'm smiling as I said that, because it was very light and as soon as the sun came up it disappeared like quick, eh!! One of the first pictures is from my ebuddy Barbara Maness in Texas, of some really pretty clouds.

I also have some good shots of a Full Moon too. It was so low and clear, that I put on my shoes, grabbed my tripod and went out into our middle driveway in 40ยบ weather and was out there about 20 minutes getting all of my shots, including 2 videos too.

When I went out this morning to set out my Flag, one of our local Squirrels instead of 'cussing' at me as he usually does, just jumped from tree to tree, trying to get as close as possible and just watched my every move!! After I got a couple shots and was moving around to get more clear shots of him, he'd stop and watch me a bit so I'd fire off a couple more shots. Kind of like what he was wanting me to do. Animals are funny, but I love watching what they do and how they act, eh!! Hope you enjoy all the shots!! '-))

Alycia's 1st Birthday, HOG Ride, Old Car Museum, Sunsets, Clouds and yes a bit of Snow ;-))


Hi Everyone, ... see all here ...

I really have a mixed bag of goodies for you all tonight!! ;-)) My HOG friends Barbara & Stacy in Texas had a bike ride to a Old Car Museum last weekend and Barb sent me some pictures knowing that I love Old and Classic Cars. Not to mention getting a look at all the bikes and riders that went on this ride.

Then our Great-Grand-Daughter Alycia had her very FIRST Birthday and of course I took a couple pictures of her, eh!! ;-)) I added a couple American Idol Stars that we've been watching and I'll probably be adding a few more in the coming weeks, so you'll probably see this Album updated in the future. Then I've added another Album with some 'misc' stuff, including some 'what if Obama wins' pictures of the future?? ;-0 Hope you enjoy, eh!!

HOG Bikes, Hooters Calendar, Melting Snow, FIRE - Not!!


Hi Everyone, .... see all pics here ....

I have an added surprise for you this time, since I have some bike picture that my friends Barbara & Stacy Maness in Texas sent me, showing some of the areas where they ride by themselves and with their HOG members too.

Plus, for all you guys reading this, check out the NEW 2008 Hooters Calendar!!

Then I have more snow pictures from our place up here in the hills of Weaverville and this is probably the last you'll have to hear about all the snow we got this year, 78" plus, till I start repairing the damaged porch roof on our rental home, eh!! ;-)) Be sure to check out the 'FIRE_Ember' pictures and story in the ALBUM_20080311 slide show, ok!! Save me writing it all over again.

Also, if anyone reading this knows of anyone or anyway that might help Jack & Annette get money to attain their goals of attaining a building/pool that will help their local area of Oakdale, CA, please email me and let me know, ok!!

HOT NEW CAR = THE 789!! Snow Damage To My Rental Home, TEST Shots


Hi Everyone, .... see all pics here ....

In this UPDATE you'll see a lot shots of my Dad house that is now our rental and you'll see how the wet/heavy snowfall collapsed the 40' Front Porch Roof!! Also, there are interiors shots of water seepage/damage too, but I was really worried about much worse damage than what we got. But, I've also been praying that God keep his hands over it too, because this continuous snow storm was one of the worse we've had since moving up here to the mountains of Weaverville in 1976!! But at the same time all the deep snow all around our property was very beautiful and I got a lot of very interesting shots, eh!!

Since I'm an old 'hot rodder' from the 50's and love all types of cars/bikes, I just went nuts when my ebuddy Evelyn Malroy since me pictures of the '789' Custom Made Auto!! So I know all of my hot rod friends will love seeing the imagination of building a car that features the best of 3 old Chevies, the 1957, 1958 & 1959, eh!! What a vision. I'd love to own one of these babies!! ;-)) Go and enjoy all my pictures I'm hoping, including my 'TEST' shots playing around with my camera and editing, ok!!
