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!!

Misc, Mill Fire, Fire Retardant Bombers, Helicopters with Water Buckets, Clouds, GAC Bugle, My Bike,


Hi Everyone,

I have more Misc Photos again in this Update and then a copy of the GAC Bugle by itself. We had a fire at our local Lumber Mill that is our biggest employer of 140 people, so it really got everyone's attention like quickly!! I just happened to be riding my bike into town earlier than normal and as I was coming down our mountain the 3 miles to town, I rounded a couple corners and saw this big flume of smoke!! I stopped quickly, got out my camera and took some shots thinking it was the starting of a wildfire. But as I got onto Main Street and headed East toward our Pharmacy where I was going, I saw it was our local Mill on Fire!!

Mill Fire


Today I went into town on my bike and just a few turns down the hill saw a large flume of smoke. So I stopped and got some shots with my camera, not knowing that it was our local Mill on fire, till I got into town and stopped at the Pharmacy where I was going to pick up some meds for me. The Mill is just across the alley, behind Dana Ryans Used Car, Boat, Antiques lot. So I got a few pictures, picked up my prescriptions, then got back on my bike and drove down the alley to get some better shots of the Mill. Hope you enjoy all of the pictures, as I tried to edit some into showing individual things instead of the wide angle shots that I was taking. I also used the 'multiple shot' feature in my camera to take 3 to 7 shots in succession and then I'd use maybe just 1 shot out of the group. That way I did get about 5 shots that I normally would NOT have, eh!!

Later, Viper

Misc, Cars, Bikes, Clouds, 180 degree Panorama, Clint Eastwood, Paused, Moon, Quilt, Wildfire Smoke, Humming Bird, Moth


Hi Everyone,

You might see a few photos from past posts, but I tried to clean up some misc photos, plus all of my August photos, so that I could start off September clean and fresh. I'm trying something new in the sense of keeping my photos better organized, eh!! ;-)) So in this slide show, I tried to separate some pictures into their own as 'Bikes' which has a few car photos too but I forgot to rename the folder '-)), a really weird custom bike, 'Bad To The Bone', various news items from our local newspaper 'The Trinity Journal' and our local Senior Center 'GACBugle' too. That way you can again pick and choose OR view them all. Trying to give you more choices.

Of course, the Misc folder has the most and a wide variety of stuff, so I'd suggest that everyone at minimum at least check out this slide show. Remember, YOU have many choices in my slide shows to 'View' each in other forms besides my 'default' of Carousel and 'Framed' for a bigger photo view and full screen too. Also, under 'Album' is listed each individual Album and you can watch them in order or pick which one you watch 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Your choice. Also, YOU can use 'Theme' to change from my default of a black background to something that you like better.

I just hope that you enjoy!! '-))

Later, 'Viper'
