Here are some random pictures I have taken over the last few months. The one above is of Irina the cat sitting on the bed. The ones below are of Irina sitting in my lap.

Late Afternoon Walk In May

I am going through old pictures on my computer, and here are a few I took on a walk back in May. I especially love the pictures of the moon captured in the cerulean blue sky in the later afternoon.

Hiking In Southern California

Here are some pictures I took on a recent hike here in Southern California.

I do not have an extravagant budget, and sometimes I felt like everyone else was having all the fun going on vacations. It is not that I have never been on vacation, but I have not left the state of California in several years, and I do miss traveling. Recently an astute observer pointed out that I have some great views in the photos I take during my walks and hikes, so I have decided to take advantage of all the beauty nature has to offer in Southern California.

During my hike I set the timer and took a picture of myself, which goes to show how using a digital camera can often have pros over using a cell phone camera.  Mostly, I just enjoyed hiking in the beautiful scenery.

Photograph Birds

I love photographing birds, such as this little one I spotted on a fence the other day.
