If you're also a Seinfeld fan it should be obvious why this interesting character caught my eye as we wondered the streets of Florence.
Pompeii

Pompei and poppies. An amazing place. Stay tuned for more.
Do you speak Italian?
Over our two weeks traveling in Italy we did pick up a few words that were helpful and polite. I do know what this sign means so maybe I know more Italian than I think and certainly more than some Italian drivers. 😂 #sorrento #italy @taucktravel #tauck #tauckrocks #streetbw #streetphoto #streetsnap#fujifilm_xseries #fujifilm_x #fujixseries #FujIFilmX_US

Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast of Italy. It's a stunning drive that should be on your bucket list. More to come from out two week trip through Italy.
She's Struggling
After a relatively mild, weird Winter, Mother Nature continues to struggle to get to Spring. Our azaleas budded out and then all the buds were killed by a heavy frost a couple nights ago. I found this pear budding out in the backyard yesterday. Snow forecast for Thursday. Hopefully some blooms will survive 'cause the tree is beautiful when it blooms.
Spring!
March 1
This image was taken on May 20 three years ago! This is first day of March. They already look like this. I don't think this is supposed to be happening yet. Thank you, Mother Nature. We'll take it.
It's a Beautiful Winter Monday
A long, long time ago I made a decision that Monday would be a great day. I know it gets a bad rap. It can't help that it's the day after the weekend. If Friday was the day after the weekend then Friday would be the day everyone groans about. Here's the decisopn I made about Monday and, for that matter, every other day of the week; I spend a 7th of my life on Monday. Every Monday I'm going to be thrilled that I get one more. Same for Tuesday. Same for Wednesday. Same for all the other days of the week. Have a good one!
The iconic DC-3. I took a ride in it with my brother. AWESOME!
What I Exposed is Back
Amazing Winter in Yellowstone
It's been several months since I shut down my old blog. I was trying to do it all myself and it got to be too much up-keep for an old man. I was self-hosting so had responsibility for all the security stuff and all the content. I was not comfortable that I was on top of everything so I shut it down. I certainly would not want to contribute to an identity or security breach for any of the visitors to my site.
After pretty much giving up on having a website, a friend told me about Squarespace. Wow! So easy to use. So easy to build a great looking site. Did I mention SO FREAKING EASY! The Squarespace features are incredible. Squarespace takes care of all the security issues with industry standard security that I don't have to worry about keeping up with! (That's on purpose, to give you grammar police a good case of the hives.) All this, and way cheaper than I was doing it myself! It's a beautiful thing.
I can still do some coding if I want to. That's probably never going to happen. I NEVER WANTED TO CODE ON MY OLD SITE but I had to figure out a lot of HTML. Not my thing.
I just want to make some nice images and share them with you. I hope you enjoy one or two things that you see. Just like the "good ole days'" click on any image to enlarge it.
