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.

Memories

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

Happy Birthday Ezekiel – “Zeke”

Apart … (365:270)

Apart… (365:270) – for now. A collaborative picture with Ginger.

Twin Falls

Twin Falls. I discovered these twin 20′ falls on an intermittent creek at Hercules Glades Wilderness. 3

Shallows on James River

Shallows on James River – We put in at the Crighton access point on the James River this afternoon. The light was excellent and the colder weather meant that there was no one else around. One-minute read, 2 pictures

Flickr meet-up

Flickr meet-up — We first met Jacqi in person in 2008 at Bletchley Park in the UK. Then again in Springfield, Missouri as she traveled to her new home in New Zealand in 2011.

Sappho – Alone in the crowd

Working in the dark provides its challenges and rewards. I came to Crystal Bridges hoping to be inspired, I was. 1   4

Buck Hollow

Buck Hollow. An idyllic and tranquil view later to be interrupted by the arrival of a bear. 2

    Day Seventeen

    When I’m out backpacking, I can rely on the Gaia GPS App to provide me with accurate information on where I take my pictures. When driving Google Maps (which, incidentally, only works on a cell phone now), you can only find out where you have been if Google thinks it is ‘Interesting’ enough — or, more likely, there could be some profit.

    I spent quite a while trying to determine where I took this and the following two pictures. But no luck. It was somewhere on the Cherohala Skyway.

    A couple of rushed pictures as the sun went down on the distant mountains. I processed the two pictures differently and couldn’t pick between them, so you get to see both.
