Re: Update on wireman
Best wishes, wireman, and hope you have a speedy recovery. I know this is your second stroke, so you know the drill. I had a stroke in 2014, and recovery is a slow process, but you can get back to normal. Make that, "normal", which is relative...

Re: All That Water Has To Go Somewhere
This is going to be a double whammy: First, the snow melt in the Sierras, followed by, or accompanied with, the monsoon season rains. Don't go near the water...

What if they gave an election, and no one came? (I kid.)

Re: Fall Creek Deer
Actually, this isn't exactly the shot I wanted. If I'd been 10 seconds faster, they'd have been nose to nose. It was a drive-by shot, and in Fall Creek Falls State Park (Tennessee), the critters are pretty well used to vehicles on the road - until the cars stop, then they boogie. So, I had just enou...

Naming No Names
the man who would be president

Re: The Road East
I know. The fog is what makes the scene so compelling. This shot was actually "accidental": I was actually setting up to shoot a large meadow scene about 90 degrees to the right and not paying much attention to the road. I happened to glance toward the road, and after an "Oh, s--t!", got the real sh...

As much as I'd really like to say, "It'll be OK", it won't. The only thing you can do is try to make her life as easy as possible for the time she has left. After that, dealing with the memories. After that, facing the inevitable yourself...
