I’m a Snapshooter. I looked it up. “Snapshooter: a person who takes snapshots.” That would be me. I think Snapshot-ographer is more like it. I do not take photographs. I take snapshots. Snapshot: a casual photograph made typically by an amateur with a small hand-held camera. Or in my case…. an iPhone holstered to my hip […]

You know, sometimes these blog posts just write themselves. I keep thinking I should be ashamed of myself. But I’m not ……. in the least. I think my daughter might be a little embarrassed of me and for me. She may have wished I would behave myself since I was visiting her at her new […]

“Hey buddy, where can a frog wet his whistle around here?” It’s been almost 110 degrees every day this week. As I was watering my only surviving flower-pot this little froggie jumped out.

( I know you are wondering) 1. First and foremost, for my own entertainment. 2. I’m very curious to see […]

A person who takes snapshots.“Snapshot” is a word made up in the year 1890. A casual photograph made typically by an amateur (me) with a small handheld camera (fits in my pocket). I spent a few […]

This fall I’ve walked in beauty everyday. I walk down by the creek behind the house. It’s good for my mental health. After a summer of drought my senses are a dried up sponge. Tiger Kitty is good for my mental health too. She follows me everywhere. I try not to trip over her. […]

This ranch is burnt up with drought. But everyday, on my walks and on my horse I can still find pockets of beauty. The Monarchs come twice a year. They’re headed south this time. The oldtimers say there used to be more. I’m grateful for these. There seems to be a side show going […]
