Welcome to Breakfast in America

I’m a Brit who unexpectedly emigrated to the USA in 2008, and this is my photo journal.

It’s an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever catches my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, or piques my interest. Currently that’s mainly backpacking and clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list.

Memories

A dozen pictures, picked at random from my favorite memories. You can see my portfolio here.

Ginger & Morty

Ginger & Morty — Morty has a particularly strong headbutt.

March Hibiscus

March Hibiscus – we moved our hibiscus plants inside for the winter and they have rewarded us by flowering every now and then.
Blue Sky reflected in the windows of a blue building framed by a blue sky

Blue

Blue – I spotted this picture while waiting for a train. I (correctly) judged I’d have just enough time to run over and get the picture before the train arrived.

Contemplating

Contemplating – nothing of great import, and I don’t think I wrote more than half a dozen words. 2

Annular Eclipse Timelapse

Annular Eclipse Timelapse — A series of hand-held photographs of the Annular Eclipse taken by Ginger on her cell phone using a pair of eclipse glasses held in front of the lens.

Storm clouds over Ozark

Storm clouds over Ozark – checking on the radar, the storm was nine miles away over Ozark.

Bath time

Bath time — I’m looking pleased with myself. That’s probably because I have warmed up after my wilderness bath.

Still Life

Still Life – the colors were just asking to be captured.

Distant Hills

Distant Hills – The view to the northeast from the Pilot (Tower) Trail, near Lower Pilot Knob.

    Ginger loves to sit here in the sun in the winter. I liked the light on flowers and thought I’d try to capture it. Unfortunately, the battery was dead on my camera, so, I used my cell phone instead. The odd colored highlights are caused by the crystals we hang in the Sparkle Zone’s windows.

  • Cascade Campground

    The final leg of my hike back to my campsite. As it was still early, I then drove to St. Elmo, a Ghost town ten or so miles away. The unpaved roads were in the process of being regraded, and they’d been dumping and wetting topsoil on the road, making it sticky, slippery, and muddy.

    With my short road hike and excursion up a brief bit of Section 14 of the Colorado Trail, I managed six and a half miles for my second hike.

    This is just the start. The cascade runs for a tad under half a mile and drops over 250 ft. The Cascade campground is just around the corner on the left.
