Longest ride to date. Left around 1pm and headed to Holmdel Park. Only took about 45 minutes. After cruising aropund there a bit on the wooded trails we rode to Bell Works, just over a mile away. What a neat place. Grabbed some coffee and headed home. Nice 3 hour trip.

My daily walk/run takes me through Confluence Park just a few miles from home. This swaying bridge is in the wooded section and crosses over the Uncompahgre River, just about where it joins the Gunnison River. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbQJt3-M0E0 [mappress...

Night shot iPhone 6 Plus, grainy but nailed the shot.

I really like ProCamera. It is easy to use but has depth, allowing lots of control including separate exposure and focus points, shutter or ISO priority and bracketing. I'll be trying some even darker night shpts soon. Adjustments in Lightroom 5 include crop,...

I thought I'd launch the season with a pic taken in 2004 or 2005. I dressed up as Santa at the NC Telecom offices and greeted kids and adults alike. Bad Santa.

Well, a lot has happened since my last post. The Fudgey Duck closed rather quickly, primarily due to landlord/tennant problems. Its just as well, I'm happy to not have a business to keep Sandi away from home every day. We may re-visit it later, but...

It's the time of year to burn the fields in preparation for the new hay season. I have a bit of pyromania in my blood so I always look forward to this task. Armed with my LP tank and weed burner attachment I set out burning the field south of the house. All went...
