Bike ride on the Henry Hudson Trail, first stop was Off The Hook Restaurant & Bar for a quick Yuengling. On the way back home stopped at Water Witch for a coffee. Great local jam, lots of blues and a great rendition of the Stones Dead FLowers.

Beautiful water feature at Magnolia Park. I went to a bluegrass festival there last weekend and the views were nice, but the music wasn't to my taste. Not your typical Bluegrass, more like toothless swamp folk singing colloquial lyrics about life.

I have been remiss in my posting here so I thought I'd offer up an iPhone photo for your enjoyment. It was taken using the iPhone app called Panorama that automatically stitches together two adjacent photos. The frame was added wit the app Photogene. On the...

This holiday season has started. The weather here in Delta is just about perfect for fall, crisp with a chill that reminds you of what is on the way. I'm going into this season with anticipation of Christmas without hospitals, in good health. I am so grateful to...

Night shot iPhone 6 Plus, grainy but nailed the shot.

I really like ProCamera. It is easy to use but has depth, allowing lots of control including separate exposure and focus points, shutter or ISO priority and bracketing. I'll be trying some even darker night shpts soon. Adjustments in Lightroom 5 include crop,...

Took my camera and went to Wekiwa Springs State Park today. Walked all around the springs for a bit, then took off on a hiking trail to Sand Lake, a two mile walk. Ambled around the lake taking pictures and then returned to the swimming area. Although I didn't activly...

On release day Sandi and I both got the new iPhone 3G S models and they are great. Last week, after having the 3G S only 10 days or so, we were playing Scrabble together over WiFi in bed when all of a sudden the entire left one-third of her screen inexplicably went...

After several days of rain it finally warmed up a bit (48°) so I took a long ride to Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area. Total of about 21 miles. There were some Kite Surfers in the cold waters on the bay side. [video width="1920" height="1080"...
