Welcome to Breakfast in America
I’m a Brit who unexpectedly emigrated to the USA in 2008, and this is my photo journal.
It’s an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever catches my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, or piques my interest. Currently that’s mainly backpacking and clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list.

A dozen pictures, picked at random from my favorite memories. You can see my portfolio here.

Ginger’s Flowers
Ginger’s Flowers. Copyright © 2026 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. Ginger loves to sit here in the sun in the winter. I liked the light on flowers and thought I’d try to capture it. Unfortunately, the battery was dead on my camera, so, I used my cell phone instead. The odd colored highlights are caused by the crystals we hang in the Sparkle Zone’s windows.

Cascade Campground
Cascade Campground. Day 7 – Road Trip October 2025. Copyright © 2025 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. The final leg of my hike back to my campsite. As it was still early, I then drove to St. Elmo, a Ghost town ten or so miles away. The unpaved roads were in the process of being regraded, and they’d been dumping and wetting topsoil on the road, making it sticky, slippery, and muddy.

Chalk Creek Cascade
Chalk Creek Cascade. Day 7 – Road Trip October 2025. Copyright © 2025 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. This is just the start. The cascade runs for a tad under half a mile and drops over 250 ft. The Cascade campground is just around the corner on the left.
