On Saturday morning I hit the road to Idaho after getting breakfast at my favorite restaurant (MexiCocina). I got the oil changed in the RV and the generator, and I topped off my propane tank, waved goodbye to my Poway home and drove north up the I-15. My chosen route threw me a curve. After … Read more
In the nine days since my last post, I’ve been sharing my work on my Facebook page. I’ve updated eight more galleries and recalled an old memory of a great day at the Salton Sea. I’m now on the road and bound for Idaho. Unfortunately, circumstances have prevented or discouraged my pursuit of bird photography … Read more
I’m close to leaving on my next road adventure. I’m headed to Idaho via the long and winding road, where I plan to spend time with friends.

For the past two weeks or more, I’ve been experiencing a slight cough for several minutes after starting a horizontal vacation. In the beginning, these coughs were mild and didn’t require me to open my mouth.

I’ve been busy cataloging images from my Texas expedition and updating the bird galleries on the Birds I Have Known pages. It was a lot of work but I’ve just finished. There are 153 updated species galleries, and 43 of them are new. The trip for me was rewarding on so many levels, and trying … Read more
