I’m the kind of person that has to get outside and go for a little adventure at least every couple of days or I start to go a little crazy. It doesn’t have to be a big thing, matter of fact it’s doing lots of little things that start at my front door: just closeContinue reading “Everyday Adventure- Putnam Park”

Yes, I Actually Live In A City
Based on a lot of the photos I post you could get the impression that I live in the countryside, or maybe a small town. But, I actually live in a city. Eau Claire has a population of about 68K. Outside of the city limits things are rural or small towns, so Eau Claire servesContinue reading “Yes, I Actually Live In A City”
The Acoustic Cafe
The The Acoustic Cafe is one of just about everyone around here’s favorite places. The Acoustic serves up wonderful sandwiches, soups, and baked goods- their cinnamon rolls are The Bomb. Back in The Before Times they also had a concert or two a week. I always get a little nostalgia buzz when I show upContinue reading “The Acoustic Cafe”
Blowing Out The Sunset
The weather around here has been a bit miserable lately, but today marked a wonderful change with temps in the mid 20’s and it was wonderfully crisp and sunny. As is usually the case on days like today I took a spin around town on my bike and as is also usually the case IContinue reading “Blowing Out The Sunset”
Sometimes My Tea Needs A Little Encouragement
Way back a long time ago I bought a little Joby smartphone tripod and, as sometimes happens, the tripod went from the front of my desk, to the back of my desk, to the storage box right next to my desk, and never got used. I found it today while sorting through some stuff andContinue reading “Sometimes My Tea Needs A Little Encouragement”
Recreate Responsibly
Hi all, there’s not much to report on the blog front. Posting should start to pickup next week as we get though the last bit of awful weather and the tail end of Brown Season. In the meantime, I found an info graphic on The Rails To Trail Conservancy’s Twitter account that I thought I’dContinue reading “Recreate Responsibly”
Civil Disagreement
Wether or not we should all come together and forgive old slights now that Joe Biden has won the presidential election is much in the news these days. I would like to add this thought to the discussion: If I get up in someone’s face and call them a bastard, it might change their opinionContinue reading “Civil Disagreement”
Candle
This was just me playing around trying to see how slow of a shutter speed I could use and still get a sharp image. But, I thought it turned out kinda cool and worth sharing,
Brown Season Continues…
Brown Season can turn into Snow Season any time now. I was going to go on a bike ride today, but it turned out to be one of those damp days in the 30’s where no matter what you do you can’t stay warm and then suddenly you’re over heated, so today’s ride turned intoContinue reading “Brown Season Continues…”
I’m a bit of Paprika Fiend/ Macro Lens’s Aren’t Just For Macros
I might need to do a stock up seeing how I’m down to only three kinds of paprika and two of the jars are just little ones. Yeah, I’m a bit of paprika fiend. I haven’t been using my DSLR that much this year and when do I usually use a wide angle zoom onContinue reading “I’m a bit of Paprika Fiend/ Macro Lens’s Aren’t Just For Macros”
