  1. Simularities (B/W)

    You remember Pinocchio? He had a physical issue when he lied. Juan had the same issue, but, it affected a different part of his anatomy.

  2. Intertwined (p)

    This old guy has been leaching nutrients for some time. Squirrels and mice relish his acorns. Bugs and worms wiggle underneath his bark. Birds have burrowed homes in his side. When he finally falls, he'll provide warmth to a home because that's what happens on burn days.

  3. Available (t)

    Heard today that Boston, Massachusetts' seasonal snowfall is 108.6 inches (275.84 cm) at the moment. The previous record was set in 1872. So, if all the snow was on the ground at once, the ground floor of the buildings would be covered.

  4. First Impression (t)

    Shari and I spent a couple of hours doing a quick look around. I was mainly looking for restrooms. The downtown area was amazing and warrants another visit when we can spend several days exploring. Walking down narrow streets with towering buildings was very cool!

  5. A Different View (p)

    Fleetfoot McCarney runs the Boston Marathon every year. He hasn't finished one yet. He gets distracted looking up at the buildings and usually runs into something that takes him out. Last year it was two guys dressed in a cow costume that ended Fleetfoot's attempt!

  6. Naked (t)

    Lee turned twenty one today and was very excited. His buddies were taking him to a gentleman's club for his first time. He didn't sleep all night thinking about it. Turns out Lee's buddies don't spell well.

  7. It Worked! (t)

    Suzie and Lyle downloaded a bunch of free witch spells from the internet. They had tried about six of them with minimal success. The seventh spell, Heads Off, was a different story, which, unfortunately, neither Suzie nor Lyle will be able to tell.

  8. We May Have A Problem

    This is what happens when the focus is on witches. That spray you used for bugs turns out to have been a concoction for a "make 'em big" spell.

  9. Go With The Flow (B/W)

    This is the headwater of Jug Creek. The flow is regulated by Baxter Watergate. Sometimes, Baxter forgets to turn on the water and the creek runs dry.

  10. It Seemed Innocent

    As far as the visitors knew, this was just another chance to look at old tombstones. Little did they know that the caretaker had a few open holes he needed to fill to reach his monthly quota.

  11. Dual Burners (t)

    Zeek the Chimney Sweep cleans these stacks four times a year. That seems rather frequent considering the chimneys are only used once a month. However, witch debris is pretty messy and then there's that little forensic item called evidence!

  12. Not Necessarily So (t)

    Fernando was on his third power drink of the morning when he decided he could leap from his balcony to the suspended platform the window washers were using on the building next to his. Evidently, power drinks do not enhance leaping capabilities as Fernando soon realized after his leap.

  13. Red (t)

    Somewhere in the City is an annual high stakes poker game. Invitation only. Not always the same players. Generally, City Departments with the least to gain are invited.

  14. One Toke Over The Line (t)

    The Devil was looking forward to a nice, relaxing afternoon. No decisions, no recruitment, just kick back and enjoy. The only thing he'd have to worry about was finding something to quench his munchies.

  15. Got Mule? (t)

    Felix was torn between attending the Lion King or rocking out to Gov't Mule. Mule was doing half the show with Robby Krieger and Doors music. Felix had a tough decision to make. No, he didn't!

  16. Tales Passed Down (t)

    Rafferty didn't understand what the big deal was. The path was solid, mostly straight and pretty smooth. The elders told all the kids not to take the path. Those who did, never returned. Rafferty felt a little vibration and then blackness as the train passed. Another snail tale.

  17. Unusual Day

    The pizza was hot and the beer was cold. Maybe a little too much beer was consumed. No one noticed the fish swimming through the air on Pacific Avenue.

  18. Disregard (t)

    Another example of the total disregard of nature. Someone relocated and defaced this perfectly beautiful boulder. When will people come to their senses? It was probably a prank committed by drunken college students!

  19. Trolling (t) (B/W)

    Roberto really got a kick out of the myth that vampires can't handle daylight. Add to that all the wannabe vampires, well, it sure made for some good feeding during the day and left his nights free for bingo.

    The above is a fictitious story. Vampires really don't play bingo.

  20. Dead Drop (t)

    It was a little windy the day I shot this in The Burying Point cemetery. I kept waiting for headstones to start flying, but, I had to settle on a few leaves flittering down to lie with the dead.

  21. Got It Covered (t)

    Shari and I are in the same space, but, usually try to shoot different perspectives or objects. You know, even if we did shoot the same thing, the end result is going to be different.

  22. Just For You

    Socrates was exceptionally happy with his Black Friday purchase. Little did he know that he would be the one to sample the quality of the elixir. As he found out, the elixir was all it was advertised to be!

  23. Wise Decisions

    Eloise was extremely disappointed after using the miracle wrinkle-removing cream she'd purchased from a door-to-door salesman.

  24. Lucky

    Lucille Maganti was one of the lucky ones. Lucky, if you consider having your arms and legs hacked off and your body nailed to a board, lucky. Of course, the alternative was to be burned at the stake!

    Shari and I had a nice vantage point for the Super Moonrise. Round Mountain Road, Kern County, California.

  26. Cohabitation (t)

    Pouch the Pelican doesn't mind sharing his rock with other birds and animals, but, he draws the line when it comes to cohabitating with sea otters. As far as Pouch is concerned, sea otters are nasty little scavengers always stealing his meals when he has the hiccups and a fish pops out.

  27. Wake

    Naps are a good thing. I find as I get older, I like them more. Always have your camera when you nap. Sometimes you get a very different perspective when you wake.

  28. Hitch Up The Stagecoach

    How do you pick a location to build? Wells Fargo chose this spot because it's where Hertimer the Horse bit the dust. Hertimer pulled stages for five years. This day, Hertimer was tossing back a few after work with a couple of Clydesdales and just dropped.

    The above story is fictional.

  29. Miscalculated (t)

    It was a cold morning in 1998 when the first wave hit the Earth. Unfortunately, the pilot was not completely awake and misjudged his landing. What the heck! Let's open a coffee shop and hang around for a bit.

  30. Priority (t)

    Melissa and Jack were so involved in their conversation about the number of Powerball tickets they should buy that they didn't notice the fire storm heading right for them. Evidently, a number of flammable constituents in the Pacific Ocean had reached their flash point.

  31. Stand Up Guy (t)

    Lawrence loves his job. All he has to do is stand around and greet people as they pass by. The only downside is that his back is permanently attached to the building exterior. That makes it very difficult to relieve himself. No privacy.

  32. Rushing

    Elsie sat on this over crossing every night to watch the lights. It was mesmerizing! She thought it was wonderful that all those people had a place to go. When she was done watching, she returned to her cardboard box for the night.

  33. Doused (t)

    William was strolling down South Hill Street on his way to pick up Jolene. It was technically their first date. William had on a fresh pair of sneakers and he'd washed his jeans. His shirt was from yesterday, but, he'd given it the sniff test a couple of times and it was

  34. Second Thoughts (t)

    Rinus the Dog loves his people. He trusts them to make wise decisions like selecting the best food for him or the sturdiest play toys. But, buying a concrete boat? Rinus is beginning to wonder if maybe it's time to look for some new people.

  35. Insight (t)

    Tim wasn't sure why, but, every time he came to this area to surf, he felt like he was being watched. Not, like from the people casually standing along the bluffs, but, like being targeted by some mechanical tracking device. It gave him the willies and certainly interrupted his concentration.

  36. Available For Parties

    Norman was bored with his job. He did the same thing night after night. Diffusing light. He was ready for a change. Maybe he could become a standup comedian or a rock star. He would even consider being melted down and repurposed as a bottle or window pane.
