Despite two real-world events today, I've still managed to get onto the online world to visit and read a few world wide web sites of personal interest ... and here they are for others to read. OK, they are really published here so I don't have to bookmark them on my computer. Since Deli.ci.ious changed... Continue Reading →
Reminiscing (1996)
I almost remember it like it was yesterday, yet suddenly feel so old. The wife and I had been dating about 6 months. We had spent one evening looking after the young three daughters of my wife's Aunt, plus about nine of their friends, taking them all for dinner to local McDonalds. It was the... Continue Reading →

Keeping My Creative Spirit and Grit
Whilst watching this amazingly inciteful video earlier this morning, I got to thinking about moments for photographs that are stuck in my mind, yet I have not had the opportunity to return with a camera to capture them. One of them is a fog-covered and very wet parcel of land in the corner of a... Continue Reading →
Photograph of the Day: Red Tulip
My favourite photograph to date has now been uploaded to my FineArtAmerica gallery. I hope you like it as much: This single flower is one of a bunch purchased for the elderly matriarch within my wife's family. This lovely woman is nearing 92 years old. Whilst age is taking her hearing and eyesight, her wit... Continue Reading →
