Portraits of pets past: Jessica
Jessica was our second cat. I made this portrait of her around 1974. She was one of the sweetest cats I have ever known. She lived with us while we finished our studies in Berlin and moved back to the … Continue reading
Webnesday (11)
I’ve been hoping to find another new spider to present today, but the only ones I’ve seen since last Webnesday have been a couple of very shy and very quick ones in very dark places in the basement. However, while … Continue reading
Melancholy Monday: Granada
Granada, Nicaragua, November 11, 2003. It was a work day, but a mercifully brief one that was over before noon. My hosts had recommended a restaurant in the nearby town of Granada. It’s been a while since I did this, … Continue reading

It was October 1984, and I was in small-animal veterinary practice in Ashland, Wisconsin. The location was our favorite camping spot in the area, called Birch Grove, a dozen miles or so northwest of Ashland, in the Chequamegon (sha-WAH-mih-gun) National … Continue reading
