The Travels and Rants Journal

I am a lonely painter. I live in a box of paints.

Car Seat

Went to Berkeley Springs, West Virginia for a couple of days. Took a few pics on the way up, but nothing of any great import. It was a pleasant enough trip, though I doubt I would go back.

Shentai was amazing. Like nothing I have ever seen before.

We played ball tonight and won 15-14 in the bottom of the last inning when the opposing pitcher walked in the winning run. Not a great way to win, but we’ll take it.

And now, a napping dog.

My show this weekend was fun and somewhat more successful than I had planned. Not that I will be retiring anytime soon.

This week: Lots of housepainting, various social activities, kickball, softball, etc.

Off to Bethesda, MD for a little one day show tomorrow. It’s hot as crap and my van has no a.c.

I tried to save a turtle today. I went back for him, but saw drops of blood next to him in the road. He was still alive, but didn’t seem to have much life. I was a little unsure - maybe it would have been more humane to put him out of his misery (not that I would have been able to do this, really) - but I I took him back into some woods and left him there. I doubt he survived, but I tried to do the best I could.

This is from a few months ago. I think it’s a brown pelican. Nags Head, NC.

Rainy spring days are good days to take photographs.

Bunny. Newly-found abandoned house (with thanks to SB). Today.
