Half Moon Bay at Night

This is how the Roatan shore looks at night.

Tortugas

I like this picture, so I am reposting it in a larger size.

Website Update

So, I changed nearly everything on this website. The upgrade was long overdue. I am sure my regular readers (Hi Mom!) noticed right away.

A big benefit of the new design is that I can fit bigger pictures in each post. The older posts still have their small photos, and I probably won't spend the time to go back and change that.

The links and extras are moved from the side to the bottom of the page.

All comments on the new look are appreciated!

By the way, I took the butterfly photo at the Capital City Farmers Market in Boise, Idaho. Jenny's dad was visiting us that weekend.

Houston Arboretum

This morning, after the usual trip to the Saturday farmers' market, I took Quincy on a walk around the Houston Arboretum.

In downtown Houston there is a huge park called Memorial Park. The Arboretum is a segment of that park, with its own trails.

I like finding things like this in odd places. It doesn't really look like the Houston most people see on a daily basis.

Back from Roatan

We are back in the USA.

I will be posting a bunch of the photos later, but I thought I would upload a few right away.

On Tuesday, we went on a sailing trip off the northern coast of the island of Roatan, Honduras.

We went snorkeling through the coral reef, swam with a dolphin, and sailed through a little squall.


Since Jenny is a badass, she took over after a while and put her old Navy skills to use.


The guy behind Jenny is Dusty, the owner of the boat. He enjoyed letting Jenny handle the boat.

Playing with old photos.

I am playing around with my old photos using some new software.

Above is the original. Below is after some tweaking.

I am still figuring it out.

Ted, in the Peruvian Pacific Ocean.

We are leaving for Honduras soon. I sure hope nothing bad happens!

Quincy...Again

I am sure everyone is tired of photos of Quincy. However, I am using him a lot to help me learn how to use my new camera. Today, we worked on action shots.

San Francisco Weekend

Here are some photos from Jenny's trip to San Francisco a couple weeks ago.

After Dinner Walk in the Park

After dinner tonight, we went to a little community park on Lake Houston. Jenny and Quincy walked around while I snapped pictures.

Basic Shelves

Jenny wants shelves for our under-the-stairs closet. So, yesterday, I made this. The two thin shelves are removable/adjustable.

After the entertainment center, it was nice to make something rustic. For these shelves, appearance doesn't matter much - just usefulness.

I should be able to fit another one right beside it in the closet. I'll make a second set next weekend.
