Locked up.

Canon PowerShot S3IS, downtown San Jose back around January 2007.

I’d just started working at San Jose State and lunchtime walks in the neighborhoods surrounding the campus were a nice break in the day.

I really can’t recall where this bike shop was, though…

January 2009.

A big bush near the northwest-ish corner of Varsi Hall on the Santa Clara University campus.

This is one of two fave shots of this beautiful pink flower, the other being a color TtV that I made around the same time.

The Mary Stuart Rogers Educational Services Gateway Building.

The Mary Stuart Rogers Educational Services Gateway Building

California State University, Stanislaus.

We’d drive past this unusual bit of modern architecture every time we visited Torri’s grandmother in Turlock, CA.

I couldn’t resist getting a few shots using the *ist D with the Lensbaby attached.

Converted to black and white in Photoshop using NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 plug-in.

Out and about.

In nature.

Four shots from Garey Park

Torri n’me took a drive over to Garey Park yesterday morning. It’s about a 12 minute drive from the house. Not bad. It was a beautiful Fall day here in Central Texas. Not a cloud in the sky and low 70s. Perfect for a hike.

We strolled the meadow and along the south fork of the San Gabriel River, probably walking a little over a mile. I got a few shots with the X100V and she used her iPhone.

The morning’s highlight was a pair of deer crossing our path about 15 feet in front of us, and Torri exclaiming “oh, look!” and scaring them into the bush before I had a chance to raise my camera.

The only people we ran into were the young lady taking our $4 for entry (Tuesdays are half price) and right at the end, two ladies walking their big brown Standard Poodle, Bugsy. We gave them plenty of room, 20-25 feet between us.

This was our first venture from the house for fun since March. Seemed like walking early morning around a big park would be safe, and yup, it was.
