Photography journey in progress. Like walking the Camino. It is a long road to travel

Just a  couple of pics that I took.  I enjoy trying to capture surfers catching the waves but I have no particular genre that I focus on with my photography.  Maybe as I continue on my journey I may start to zero in on an area of interest.

Life in the time of Covid19

     This year 2020 we have been victims of a plague caused by a novel corona virus that has been named COVID19. As of today over 50,000 people in the United States alone have perished.  It is a pandemic and has affected over 180 countries in the world.  It has closed businesses worldwide,  affected the airlines, the cruise ship industry, retail shops, small businesses and much more as well as caused a lot of suffering due to illness and death.  Schools have been closed and students have been taking classes virtually .  ie: via computer learning. We have had to do what is called social distancing which means we are not supposed to congregate in groups of more than 5 people.  Events like Easter have  gone almost uncelebrated and masses have not been celebrated in the church but  on line as have most other activities.  We have been told to wear masks to cover our mouths and noses and there are shields in front of the cashiers ...

Sailing on Lake Clare farmhouses along the highways Just came back from a visit to my cousin Candida Simmons in Bay City Michigan.  Visited the Taquemenon Falls.  It was about a five hour drive but well worth the  trip. They are a lot smaller than Niagra but still very pretty.  On the return we stopped at a small town called St. Ignace which is an area where Fr. James Marquette of the Jesuit order taught an Indian tribe, The Chippewa and brought Catholicism to them and founded the St. Ignace Mission.  And was buried there after his death.  It was quite an interesting area.  We visited the St. Ignace Mission building which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.   Another stop was Port Huron which is just on the other side of the Canadian Border.  There was a beautiful lighthouse there .   We could see the Canadian border on the other side  of the Lake.  More to come.....

My neighborhood

      My sister and I were thinking about our old neighborhood when we were growing up and we started to remember all the kids that we grew up with on  our street.  It was a great family neighborhood and the kids on the street all got along very well.   We would play games in the streets like King May I and kick the can  and of course Hopscotch.   I want to name all the kids I remember that lived on my street so that I will always remember who we grew up with.  I want to list their names but I decided I would better just put first names and last initials.   I'll start with Mary Jane P and her brother Frank.  Then there was Evelyn and Red M.  Next to them was Tula and Evangelo M.   Next to them was an Auto Body Shop owned by Buddy W.  Then came Skipper,  Roland,  Beryl, and Lillian A.   Roland and his wife Diane lived there for many years later and raised two children,  Darnell and Curtis.  who...
