A Common Perspective (t)

I have done a lot of shooting from this vantage point over the last five or so years. It offers a different view of the city even though the buildings pretty much stay in the same positions. Every once in a while, the Brower building will wander a little north or west just to make me take a good hard look. But, that isn't too often.

Not The Moon (t)

I've got to tell you, my buddy the Sun was pretty upset about all the hoopla surrounding the last super blood lunar eclipse. I mean, it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for backup from the Sun. But, does the Sun get any credit? No! Everyone is gaga over the moon. The Sun just goes on about his daily business like any other day and tries to ignore all the fuss.

Drag The River Bottom (t)

Local farmers frequent the White River on Friday nights with their hopped up tractors. They sit around drinking buttermilk and race up and down the dry river bed until the cows come home.

Truck Warmer (t)

From the way back machine in 2003. Woody the cat looks for the highest point which happens to be on top of the old 1984 Chevy pickup. A good vantage point.

Alone (t)

Burt the Blackbird is a little slow. He's been sitting in this tree for three weeks now wondering where everyone went. It didn't dawn on him that his buddies are down at the Blackbird Tavern in Temecula, California watching football.

Prone (t)

Back in One Million BC, Sophia laid down for a nap and, as sometimes happens, never woke up. It was, of course, a bummer for Sophia, but, it really shocked Tumak. Sophia was Tumak's traveling companion after his father, Akhoba, expelled him from the family cave. Fortunately for Tumak, he ran into Loana who made him forget his sorrow. Tumak spent the rest of his life slapping skins.

Harder Than It Seemed (t)

It was at this point that the posse began to suspect that maybe it wasn't going to be easy to capture Ben "Tree Snapper" Von Hidlesburg.

All the duck mommas tell their young not to play in this area. They warn them about the big bad river that this water flows into and the perils of getting caught in the ferocious currents. Wait. There is no big bad river any more!

All Tied Up (t)

The great thing about fishing is that you can lose all your tackle and still find something to replace it that was left by someone else. This equipment has probably been in this tree for some time.

Tag, You're It! (t)

Paintcan Harry was really good at what he did. Tagging. A buddy of his had an engine he used to do side work the major railroads wouldn't. Harry painted Railroad Police on a car and had his buddy haul him all over the county. Harry's buddy would drop the car and Harry would wander around tagging other...
