I got an orchid from my Mother’s place and it just recently bloomed. Don tells me it’s a Philippine Ground Orchid. Doh I’ll be re-potting all of those in soil this weekend.
Philippine Ground Orchid
Lee Family Portraits
Tom asked for family portraits and I gladly agreed. The Veterans Memorial Park was to be the venue. Because of the youngsters we agreed on 4:00PM, which was a lighting challenging to say the least. My 600 watt strobe was under powered for the group shot.
Lands End Labyrinth
Social media vs reality: I used google maps to find Lands End Labyrinth and the photo looked interesting so I thought I would go there since I was gonna be in the area. Notice the photo on the left was from August 2020 courtesy of Jukapun Jin. Photo on right is what I found.

I used google maps to find this location to photograph. This time there wasn’t a location associated so I had to use the GPS coordinates. I also visited Davenport Pier but chickened out of the steep climb down with my work shoes.
Timelapse Fail
The sky was beautiful tonight so I thought I would go out and shoot a time lapse of the rolling clouds. It came out horrible.
Madison Sunflowers
Noticed the large fields of sunflowers on my way up to Red Bluff.
Memorial Day 2021
I just happened to drive by the Veterans Memorial Park and I noticed they were preparing for the Memorial. I ran home and got my camera.
Memorial Day Weekend
Jon & Kathy invited us over for dinner. It was so nice to catch up with them but I spent so much time laughing I only took one photo of Gavin.
Wedding Shoe Karma
Last weekend at the wedding I wore a pair of Timberland shoes, that I think I’ve only worn once before. Apparently they have been sitting in the closet too long as the sole binding just disintegrated. So just as the always emotional speeches were starting I had to walk back to the car in my socks to retrieve a spare pair. Something similar happened to my Father at our wedding in 2000. I don’t remember exactly what I was thinking at the time but I’m sure it was something along the lines of why did he wear those cheap shoes. Shoe karma is a b*tch.
Jitterbug
Since my brother passed we’ve been slowly getting rid of his possessions. I found this old Jitterbug flip phone that was in pristine condition. I had to laugh, it’s 5 star enabled.
