My Top 10 Pictures From 2011
It was a pretty slow year, photography-wise. I made a few trips to Yosemite, a few trips to the Merced NWR, one trip to the eastern Sierra to capture the fall colors. I visited a new location as well, the Great Valley Grassland near Gustine, CA. So with all of that, I thought I’d post…

New Blog Framework
About a year ago I changed my blog framework form the default WordPress theme to one of Justin Tadlock’s parent themes called “Hybrid“. It allowed me to add more “SEO Stuff” then the original default theme….and it’s free. Since I know just enough HTML/CSS to be dangerous, I also downloaded Justin’s child theme “Leviathan” and…

Google Plus (Google+): Keeping Up With The Jones’
I guess I have too much time to “waste”! I accepted an invite to set up an account with Google +. What does that mean? Good question, honestly!

New Look and New Images for Purchase!
I decided change my website a bit. Since I’m a nature photographer, I wanted the site to reflect a more natural or outdoor look. I changed the color scene for a more earthy tone and I modeled the black and white photo, “Wintertime at the Tioga Lake in BW” as the top header. I used…

No Pictures
Yep, no pictures this time. I’ve been “busy” re-designing my backpacking/hiking website, The Backcountry. I really like the new design and I sparked a ‘bug’ to tweak my nature photography site, and father’s website, Single Stick Stuff. I’m also learning all about RSS Feeds and iPod’s, so I recently added a RSS feed to my…

An Old Friend is Gone….
In January 2006 I needed a wheelchair after my first knee replacement. Unfortunately, it went bad and for two years I was either in my wheelchair or using a walker. Finally in August of 2008, I was able to stand and walk again, without the wheelchair. It sat here “just in case” until I decided…
