Red Tacoma New Arrival
Today, we added a new member to the fleet: a 2011 Red Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Off Road PreRunner, which we’re currently calling “Red Taco.” This truck is a very welcome addition to our household, especially after dealing with a stretch of less-than-reliable vehicles, including a Saturn that seemed to be returning to nature and…

A Few Days at Gulf Shores Beach
We come down to Gulf Shores as often as we can, but our favorite time of year to come down here is once the heat has dissipated and the people have all gone back to work and school. Photos from the Week

Hitting the Road Literally on a Trek Madone 2.1
Pride really does come before the fall, even literally. I guess looking back at my first wreck on Wednesday I would say I was probably pretty proud I had never wrecked a bike as an adult, motor or cycle, nor did I ever expect to wreck, and certainly not on a bike less than a…

My New Bike is a Trek Madone 2.1
It’s been a while since my last Friday Feet post. I kept trying to get a shot on a Friday with a different pair of shoes and decided this was it. For the first time in 2013 I got back on my bike again, although it was still pretty cold, I did ride for about…

Beach Photography Day
We stayed an extra day or two at Gulf Shores so I was able to take a day and get some actual beach photography worked up. These shots were taken very late in the day and were all taken on a very calm perfect weather day. I had come down to the beach when my…

Quick Trip to Gulf Shores and Pensacola
We met up with some family from Texas and shared a condo and the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores. While we were down that way we visited the famous LuLu’s and had dinner, and got to spend some good quality time on the beach. In a companion post on my photography site, I did take…

Day Trip to St George Island
We took another one of our quick trips to the beach and stayed long enough to get some sunset photos along the beach. It was a beautiful time as it always is on this part of the Gulf Coast.

Sunset Over McCotter’s Marina in Washington NC
This photo is part of my Stories section in an ongoing series called Throwback Thursday, and this shot is from a marina where we use to have a slip for our sailboat back in 2004. The story behind this photo has actually taken on more significance after seeing what happened to this marina last year.…

Greyhound MCI-9 Bus Conversion We Called Home
The post for this Throwback Thursday is an “On This Day 10 Years Ago” post (from this point forward OTDTYA), which I now realize is actually getting into a time period that is presented on my blog. The very first posts on my blog were in March 2001, which we posted three articles about our…

Scott in the 1971 Volkswagen Camper Van
Yes, it is Throwback-Thursday and yes, this is me in the family Volkswagen Camper Van, a shot taken in May of 1971 when we were apparently on a trip to Colorado Springs. There are many other shots of me years later when I wanted to drive (like in 1972) where I am sitting on the…
