A New Day


View from an Airplane near Paris, France
We took this photo during our descent and approach into Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG). This cold November morning was illuminated by the sun behind the clouds.

Nothing Daffy


Cruise Ship Dinner, Caribbean Sea
This delicious dinner of roast duck and fruit, risotto, and broccoli bruschetta was served while we were en route from Nassau to Sint Maarten. The entree was delicious (although we didn't know it when we took the picture).

Lights


San Francisco, California, USA
We captured this photo from our friend's apartment in San Francisco's Castro District during the summer of 1996. One afternoon there was an extended black-out throughout this part of California, which was (and may still be) fairly common. We captured this photo of the fog rolling through the city during the black-out.

The group Journey, which hailed from San Francisco, had a song named Lights with the lyrics "When the lights go down in the city, and the sun shines on the bay". In this case, once the fog rolled in, there were neither lights nor sunshine, but it definitely was still magical San Francisco!

Slobberpuss


St Bernard Puppy, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
This cute Saint Bernard Puppy was being carried around a local festival on his owner's back in a human baby carrier. This adorable little fellow seemed to be tired of the festival, all the attention, or both.

A Bay and Its Boulevard


Miami, Florida, USA
This view of Miami captures a bit of Biscayne Bay and Biscayne Boulevard. Both are essential elements of Metropolitan Miami. Looking south from a nearby hotel, we captured this photo on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon.

I am A Camera?


Irises, Seattle, Washington, USA
These lovely irises were discovered in a Japanese Garden in Seattle. Because of the abundant rainfall, the Seattle area is awash in many beautiful flowers and trees.
