A collection of photography and exploration focusing on Upstate South Carolina and beyond.
I’m not sure how this slipped past me. Since I don’t pay attention to the RSS subscription notices on my Flickr page, I really hadn’t spotted it, but there it was… …a direct link to a KML file for my Flickr photos. But wait!

Between the movie and the release party, we decided to run home for the interim. Having ridden my bike and been fairly active all day, I was tired. I manage to fend off sleep though, and at 11:30 we headed out again. Last release party it was crowded, and we had no clue what to … Read More “Pottermania – Part Five” »

Our recipe came from the Bicardi website. Don’t bother clicking the link – obnoxious music loads. I’ll copy the recipe below for a … Read More “Mojitos” »
The choice was, should I clean out the basement, or go shoot photographs? Today’s forcast was for fantastic weather. Tomorrow’s, not so much. To me it was a no brainer. I only had a couple of hours before I was to meet Laura for lunch and run some errands, so I decided to explore our … Read More “Touring Upper Lake Fairfield” »
