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.

Family Day

Family Day – Spent with Carol & Jim to celebrate Lanie’s Graduation. Katie was also with us but unfortunately, she left before we decided to take a picture.

Ginger’s Glasses

Ginger’s Glasses – I find them everywhere. I scoop them up from their hiding places and put them somewhere they can be found. She must have 10-20 pairs.

Safety in Numbers – Reprise

Safety in Numbers – Reprise – Not the picture I originally picked for this day’s 365. Nine years later and this is the one I prefer.

Waiting for watching

Waiting for watching – it’s a dull rainy day, and I liked the light.

Decay

Decay – Leaves, shells and a stick covered with frost, and some monofilament fishing line leading to an unseen dead bird in the water.

    Looking south, commercial development ceases abruptly.

    I changed position, and this works a lot better at showing the development without the hotel getting quite as much attention, even if it does still dominate the picture more than I’d like.

    This wasn’t meant to be a picture of a hotel. I was more interested in how commercial development dominates the environment and how the buildings seem to run forever along the coast.

    Hindsight suggests I should have picked a starting point for the image with a less dominating subject. Also, the focus is a tad soft for some reason.

    After we visited Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, we headed down the Delaware coast and stopped for our first view of the Atlantic Ocean in many years (March 2014).

    We then continued down the coast in search of somewhere to stay.

    Ginger found a great deal on a hotel in Ocean City, Maryland. One look at the view of the Atlantic from our room’s balcony and we both said that we must set an alarm for sunrise the next day.
