My Mountain Trail

His and Her Photos

Monday, November 9th, 2009

A couple of photos from this weekend, taken w/ the M6. Obviously I had more to work with than Lori. I also got tired of trying to figure out the color balance of this film, so I showed up in b&w.

Also obviously, I’m very lucky she puts up w/ all this!

We visited Lori’s new bike this weekend. It is a frame right now, and very cute for a baby frame. It’s going to be amazing once it is built up. Maybe another week or so…

Lucky Me!

Here’s a pic of Lori in the kitchen creating some new, yummy, gluten-free stuff. Well, sometimes it’s yummy, sometimes it’s just gluten-free. Given our taste training, it’s hard to make gluten-free baked products. When it is good though, it’s an eye-opener… and a belly-filler.

Autumn

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

The last few days on Mt. Tam have seemed a lot like Autumn, and even a bit like Winter. On Monday we had a “gully warsher” as my OKFree friends might say. Oh, okay, I might say it too. Anyway, we had about 3″ of rain in no time flat, and all the trails turned into rushing streams — not to mention the small pond in the basement. Then things cleared up some and we had the crystal clear atmosphere that you only get after a good storm.

Even better (at least around here) is when you get a good storm and there is residual cloud and fog cover. This picture of San Francisco shows some of that going on as I ran on Mt. Tamalpais on Friday. It was beautiful, which is normal but always enjoyable. This picture was taken last Friday after the big storm (5″) on Wednesday.

This next picture was taken along Rock Springs trail, just below the Mountain Theater. The red leaves are on poison oak, which just flames all over the place this time of year. If someone didn’t know what poison oak looks like, all they have to do is come visit the mountain in late October and look for red leaves. THAT is what a poison oak leaf looks like.

Next up is some more fog as the sun set on Monday evening. It was glorious indeed.

Now I am in Pennsylvania, and it is Autumn here too. And the weather is warm. I doubt that will last much longer. Here is a picture of a playground and trees from across the street from the company I am working with.

What you see is not always what you get.

I just picked up a Canon Demi ee17 half-frame camera on ebay. No guarantees that it worked. Well, it does. Sort of.

I had some trouble getting the film into the pickup spool. I guess I failed because it looks like right now I have a quarter-frame camera.

Anyway, two of my favorite girls in this triple exposure.

Here’s another picture from the camera. This is Jim at work. Sort of (again!). Work and play a little pool or play a little w/ your dog work…
