Turtle Sunday

May 3, 2026 at 2:57 am

It’s finally May, and the weather was perfect for a walk through Watercolor.

I’ve often seen turtles basking on this log before, but never this many at once!

Sunny Saturday

March 28, 2026 at 12:10 am

After a very hectic 2 weeks it was wonderful to visit Seaside to soak in the sun.

Back in Chicago our favorite way to relax was to walk along Lake Michigan, but wading in The Gulf while sipping lemonade is a perfect Florida substitute.

Almost Spring

March 1, 2026 at 11:44 pm

Back in Chicago winter is still going strong, but down here in the Florida Panhandle March 1st means it’s almost time for Spring Break.

For now things are still pretty quiet…

But pretty soon hordes of teenagers and college kids will descend on 30A.

Law enforcement in Seaside is already on alert.

It was so nice to enjoy warm sunny weather this afternoon after last week’s cold snap.

I even got a chance to check up on my favorite statue!

Trip to Paris

February 8, 2026 at 1:41 am

Here are some photo scans I recently found from my trip to France back in the summer of 2000. Most of these were taken on 110 Film.

The Paris Metro photo below was probably taken on my regular 35mm film camera.

Amusement park rides at a summer carnival in the Tuileries Garden – these are on 110 Film.

Other Paris area landmarks I visited included the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Picasso Museum, Musée d’Orsay, and the Palace of Versailles. I also did this freehand drawing of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. I regret not making more of an effort to see the interior, but it was so crowded and confusing that I ended up briefly popping my head in before giving up.

I also took a train into the countryside for a couple days and visited Angers. I saw the Cointreau Factory, and also the Apocalypse Tapestry at Château d’Angers, which was amazing. Hopefully one of these days I’ll have time to find and scan more photos from this trip.
