Check out the 10th annual edition of my very short run photo book. To properly see the spreads, it is best to download the e-book and view it in Acrobat. Yeah, that needs ambition. Happy new year.

The bathroom is looking extra festive these days as we keep the poinsettia away from the pets.

A cattle drive stops traffic on U.S. Highway 20 near Arco, Idaho, on Tuesday, July 5, 2016. Cowboys, cowgirls and their dogs worked as a team to move a long line of cattle from one grazing area to another. Crank up the volume. I haven’t seen any cattle drives here in Livermore (Calif.) for awhile. The first one I saw was just after moving here. It gave the boys the most original reason for being late to school that day. The CHP stopped Tesla Road traffic for one maybe as much as a decade ago. I think there’s too much traffic now.

This reminded me of the skeleton of a bird head. Woody Woodpecker?

Land of the Almost Midnight Sun turned 2 today! Does this mean it is time to go back?

And another little critter jumped up on the bed. I think it is a bear. Ears are courtesy of a pillow in the background.

This creature from the sea, with its coffee bean eyes, could not make it onto the bed, so the dining room table became its resting spot.

These charming swans jumped up on the bed yesterday.

When is the last time you used a pay phone? When is the last time you paid a nickel to make a call? This is a true antique. (Cindi Christie/Cyanpixel)

Not too old. Just a different kind of beauty. Kind of like people.

I am captioning away. It seems like a never ending task. This old hinge and door latch are from a rustic mountain cabin above Sandane, Norway.

Sometimes flowers gain a new beauty when they are withered and crumbling.
