Richard Gross 1947 - 2026 (152/365)
Emotional day.
We went over to Richard’s house to meet with his wife and son. We had a good talk, told some stories, and shared good memories. They were very gracious to let us pick out a few of Richard’s photos to keep in his memory. I will proudly have these on my office wall.
I miss our Flickr chats, seeing Richard out on his morning walk, and talking about woodworking…
Miss you, friend.
Down in Stray Pixels, a few shots from yesterday turned out pretty well for iPhone shots. Craig, Richard’s son, wanted a picture of mine printed that he and his dad had commented on before he passed, as a memory. I’m working on some color correction and testing some new photo papers to get a worthy print for him.
It was nice to fiddle around with photography and printing today while I thought about Richard.

Well, here it is, the end of May already. I can’t believe it.
Cancún is hot and humid, and I almost can’t stand it. I’m definitely a cool-weather guy, and I just sweat and suffer in this humidity. I think it’s time to stop bidding for these trips until winter comes around a...

Richmond (150/365)
First time in Richmond. Not enough time to explore the city, hopefully next time. Good day out in the skies, only 40 minutes late by the end of the day. Lots of thunderstorms and turbulence today, glad to be done. Ended up in Cancun, time for a good rest.

Parental Oversight (148/365)
These two California Quail were outstanding parents, carefully corralling and watching over their brood. So much fun to watch.
Hope it was a good day out there for everyone. Thanks for stopping by.
849/1000 Today was the last day at my coworking space, which unfortunately has to close its doors tomorrow. Bye, friends. It’s been a great time! I really enjoyed working with you all. Starting Monday, a new chapter begins: partly same crew, a new office, just around the corner. I’m really looking forward to it.

Anna's Hummingbird (147/365)
Back from mountain biking and nursing my old, sore, out-of-shape body, I’m now sitting in the backyard with a cup of coffee, watching this little guy guard his two feeders. A little male Anna’s hummingbird has proudly claimed my backyard tree as his home, and I’m honored. He’s letting me get really close with my camera. I think it’s a fair trade: I provide two always-full feeders and a big shade tree, and I get to take pictures.
I’ve also put up two grass hummingbird nests, just in case he wants a ready-made home to move into. From what I’ve read, Anna’s hummingbirds now live in the Phoenix Valley year-round.

What A Day (145/365)
Great day out exploring and mountain biking. Not very many pictures today, I’m really out of shape, it took all my energy just to stay on the bike. Add in an elevation of 7300', and I was toast.
