Getting Old, and Hanging On
Getting Old, and Hanging On On my walk yesterday I saw a fruit of some kind. Wrinkled and hanging on. Thought it had a story, seemed to be the story of life.
Kitchen Captures
It is an interesting time we are living in. The COVID stay at home order can make photography a challenge. Well, for me it does. I’m wanting, longing, to get out and take pictures. Find some location other the my home where I can use my new camera. But today I end up in my…

A Letterpress Bonanza!

My Sister-in-law found some printer’s blocks and wood type at an antique shop near Carson City, NV. She picked up the entire box. Printer’s blocks, wood type and sorts. This bundle came with a bit of…
