The eyes have it
I’ve been having a discussion with my good photo friend Adrian Lewis about bringing great memories back to life through photography, and I mentioned that some of my best memories of my days in veterinary practice are intimately related to … Continue reading
Big boys—boastful, bold, and beautiful
Last week, before the weather finally turned warm, CD happened to look out the window and saw that our local flock of turkeys was on the prowl again. I watched them for a few minutes and decided to see if … Continue reading

I’ve been intending to get back to broader views after my recent focus on small and intimate imagery, but an encounter yesterday has encouraged me to reconsider, at least temporarily. The golden trumpet vine that grows nearby has been such … Continue reading
Cool and unusual
