I have three small Liquid Amber trees in my yard. They're one of the few types of trees that "turn" in Southern California (due to the warm climate here). I was so excited to see I finally had fall colors... Continue reading

I was sent the following post via an email chain. I borrowed it for today's post. (The email chain originated from This Blog, who borrowed it from this blog, who apparently borrowed it from the Washington Post.) I dare you... Continue reading

I get bored easily reading financial reports. On the other hand, I can pretty much guarantee you the economy is improving. Why? Orange County's financial absurdness seems to be bursting at the seams again. For instance ... OC Economy Must... Continue reading

I've been participating in some photography groups these past few months. For some reason, people like to do a lot of photography events requiring floral shots. Personally, I think flowers are one of the easiest things to photograph (if you've... Continue reading

Sunset a couple weeks ago ... The sunset looked and felt tropical when I took the above photo. In fact, just looking at this photo makes me want to hop on a flight to Hawaii. Sigh! © Twenty Four At... Continue reading

My house is pure mayhem right now. Family, guests, dogs ... turkey in the fridge. Chaos! Fun chaos, but chaos nonetheless. I have a secret. Ever since my car accident, there's a (big) part of me that dreads the holidays.... Continue reading

I never tire of photographing the beach houses here. There's such a big variety of styles and locations. I spend a lot of time on our beaches. I mentally critique multi-million dollar homes as if I were truly in the... Continue reading

When I was in Boston a few weeks ago, I suggested visiting the famed MIT campus in Cambridge. My host seemed a little baffled by my request. I come from a family of rocket scientists and assorted other engineer types.... Continue reading

When I was a kid, my parents "made" us (my brother, sister and I) go on weekly hikes. We hated it. The other kids got to hang out and play (or watch TV?) while we were being forced to enjoy... Continue reading
