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.

Twin Falls

Twin Falls. I discovered these twin 20′ falls on an intermittent creek at Hercules Glades Wilderness. 3

A change of plans for the weekend

This wasn’t my plan for the weekend. Day One — Gary at the Pole Hollow trail Junction. Orange hat because it is turkey hunting season. 3 2

Peak Design Capture Pro V3

Peak Design Capture Pro V3 – This morning I was musing on the mess I’d left on my desk when the urge to take some pictures overtook me. 3

Rumpled

Rumpled — I loved the play of light, how the duvet mimics the shapes of two people lying back-to-back, and the stories implicit in the folds and wrinkles of the duvet and sheet.

Double trouble (365: 13)

Double trouble (365: 13) – My less serious alter ego strikes a blow for more fun in my pictures.

Breakfast in America

Breakfast in America — Our first Breakfast. We got up early to get breakfast before church. It was my first opportunity to sample ‘Biscuits and Gravy’ and take my own special picture of Ginger. Aunt Martha’s Pankake House, Springfield, Missouri.

    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.

    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.
