The things he carried...

My Dad's box of his WWII mementos, including his Dad's Marine Corps Globe and Anchor pin from WWI. He put them in this box when he returned to the States in 1946. They've always been there....I have the care of them now.

Treasures from the past....

Photos taken from movies of my Dad shot by his Aunt and Uncle, the Roths. I had never seen these before making them quite an emotional experience. We have many photos of my Dad at this age, but never before had I seen him in action. I had heard about his friend with the monkey all my life.....now here he is monkey and all!

Daphne is a smart dog and learns quickly. I trust her enough now to let her take the car for short trips. She's backing up here, making sure to check her rear view mirror.....good dog!

Cloudburst...

From several years ago, and another lifetime......

They're........back!

Yes, more duck images. But the prints have been selling well, so I gotta' go with the demand. Besides, the subjects are close and the supply is almost inexhaustable.
