The big waterfalls that are tall and have a lot of volume are spectacular. However some of the prettiest are the small ones that slip off the edge of an embankment somewhere. Often they are nameless or we forget where they are. I had to dig in the metadata to find out where this was.…

I had been fiddling with my camera the week before and I didn’t realize I had my settings set for low resolution. I had a great day for shooting Goðafoss. There was great light, good angles, etc. The shots are pretty good, but not that great. (Goðafoss Waterfall, Iceland, 2025)

I’m always amazed when you can get next to critical infrastructure like the water supply for the City of Los Angeles. To be honest, this isn’t a recent photo, but the aqueduct runs across the state southward to LA. (Bishop, California, 2006)

Some of my nicer shots are sometimes when I’m not trying to take a real shot. I was adjusting my camera before getting ready to take some shots of the shoreline. I shot this one quickly to test the light. It wound up being one of the better ones of the evening. (Honolulu, Hawaii, 2008)

Last year I watched the Mackinac Bridge walk from about 20 miles west on White Shoal Lighthouse. This year it may be time to go “up close and personal” with the Bridge again on Labor Day. Who is up to join me for the walk? (Mackinaw City, Michigan 2014)

I made up that name because I liked it, but is is really Þingmannaá. The three levels of the waterfall made me want to make up a word play on Icelandic for 3 falls. (Flókalundur, Iceland. 2024)

Everyone starts somewhere. I’ve taken a number of waterfall shots over the years. Not sure if this is the first one, but it is probably close to it. I was 16 standing at the base of the falls with an instamatic camera. Everything could have been better in the shot, but given the technology limits…

For several years I took students to Ometepe Island to work with local medical professionals. One year I found out the ferry we had booked has sunk the day before our return to the mainland. We caught a different boat, but I was amazed to see the crews working to raise the boat we were…

When you take your dog on sabbatical you need to make them comfortable. Rob the Hound Dog liked the concrete, but Bella required a pillow for her pool time naps. She required a pillow for almost anything. (Punta Gorda, Florida, 2015)

One of the most surprising things about the Arizona sabbatical was how much Rob the Hound Dog loved to lay by the pool (he never went in). We would have to force him inside so he didn’t overheat. (Tempe, Arizona, 2004)
