Foto Fix of a leaf was taken at Holcomb Valley, near Big Bear Lake. The leaf was on the ground, directly in my foot path, so I snatched it up and arranged it in the dry bush along the trail, then took this photo. My oldest daughter, Angelika, laughed, wondering how the leaf would have […]

Letterboxing and Geocaching
(16 photos in gallery) While in Big Bear over Thanksgiving weekend, my sister-in-law, Jeanne, suggested we explore the area, searching for Letterboxing and Geocaching sites. I’d heard of Geocaching, where people hide tiny items for others to find via GPS coordinates. Letterboxing is somewhat similar, but has more of a treasure hunt element because of the […]
Reflection of the Slopes

Glider Launch Site
While up on the mountain this past Sunday, walking around a tiny “town” (gathering of cute shops and a couple restaurants) called Rim Forest, near Crestline, a young guy saw me with my camera and asked if I wanted to know about a place with great scenery. Naturally, I followed his directions, and ended up […]
Kayaker Gliding Along
This photo was taken at Lake Gregory in Southern California’s San Bernardino Mountains during my spontaneous visit on Sunday. While we’ve had another heat spell down here in the valleys, the mountains offered cooler temps and some scattered spectacular fall colors. I would have rented a kayak and joined that person if not for having my Nikon, […]

Nice Bench for Pondering
I’m restraining myself as much as humanly possible, withholding all matter of cuss words and other adjectives from this post, after our country made a fool of itself in yesterday’s presidential election. I feel this photo is appropriate for the situation many of us find ourselves in, pondering how this could have happened, fearful for the future. Might […]
