Rather than flash, I used a railing to steady the camera and get this shot inside the cathedral in Malaga, Spain I take a lot of photos as I travel around the country, explore our parklands and embark on ever more esoteric cruise itineraries.

Wild mushrooms in Mount Rainier National Park, WA Regular readers of my monthly, electronic ramblings are probably already aware that one of my passions is hiking in our national parks and other public lands. Needless to say, along the trails I do encounter a lot of interesting and inquisitive people, yet I continue to be […]
The author with his motor home in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, TX In no particular order”¦ 1.
