Tanya and I decided to visit Yosemite National Park today. It really has some amazing views. All those photographs you thought were enhanced, probably were not. The beauty of this place is pretty much dripping from everything. My photo of the day for day 289 is of Tanya and me with one of the amazing …
Yosemite National Park Photos From the High Sierra After spending the day in Sequoia National Park we drove to Oakhurst to spend the evening. It was a really nice place to wake up to. I took Buddy out for his morning walk, then after bringing him back to the room, I went for another walk …

We humans, at an early age, are [usually] taught that it is not polite to stare. Unfortunately, this was a lesson that I seemed unable to convey to Buddy. If he was a human he would probably be considered fairly rude. I think he just can not help it. My picture of the day for …
Ever since I returned from Europe I had been forced to suck it up as far as the pain was concerned. I discovered I had another medical issue that would not be helped by my use of such pain killers as Ibuprofen. When the new doctor provided me with steroids and they were actually working, …
