Storm clouds formed heavily in the sky over So Cal, like cotton balls heaped up in picturesque confusion.

266-365 Barberville

Returning to my early stomping grounds, I stopped in on the barber shop of my youth. Since it was "after-hours" I had to continue on my way.

265-365 Fallow Ground

The dried remains of the muck and mire of the Salton Sea. ~ Having spent many winter mornings huddled in the frosty, wet waters of the Salton Sea in the lower reaches of California's Imperial Valley, I can attest that this soil, when wet is like glue to walk through.

259-365 See Thru Banner

While driving through Long Beach I ran across a city beautification project where an empty lot has been hidden by a quasi transparent banner with cattle. I found this interesting that one can see two different worlds through the same image. (note the truck in the background. This is not a reflection.)

257-365 Varicose Veins

All the old roads have varicose veins....

America of yesterday required time and patience to move across this country. We sometimes fail to recognize the adventure of travel which should not always be about the destination but that of the trip in and of itself. Take time for the alternative route...... I say, "see America; see your own daily route."

252-365 Washed Up


252-365 Washed Up, originally uploaded by Paul K.-QuixoteImages.

Occasionally at the end of the day I feel washed up in my career. Clients can sometimes run me through the ringer. Then usually after a glass of wine, being around my loving family and then a good nights sleep, the next day all seems well and I'm ready for a clean start.

247-365 Revolving Drama of a Teen.

I "borrowed" this conceptual idea from DDP.

This technique moved me to action when I overheard gossip and drama ensuing in a hour+ phone conversation with my youngest and her friend.
