My Favorite Pictures

This is an attempt to pare down the number of my favorite photographs to something more viewable. These are the favorites of my favorites. Don’t ask me what makes a picture an all-time favorite. It might be a really good picture, or it might hold a special memory, or who knows what?

A self portrait photograph of Gary Allman keeping warm in his hammock while winter camping. December 2022.

Keeping warm in my hammock – The low was 23℉ (-5℃), well within the 10℉ rating of my quilts. I was nice and cozy. A forecast of 20℉ is my lower limit, not because I cannot keep warm at lower temperatures I can, but because it is not enjoyable sitting around and doing camp chores when it is that cold. I do this for funsies, not to prove anything.

The soft light on a dull rainy day on these flowers Ginger picked and placed on the kitchen table caught my eye, and prompted a discovery. One-minute read, +1

Through the veil – It’s taken me a while to see the potential in this picture. I like this alternate treatment of the image.

Enjoying the view – between interludes of journaling and swimming. I even completed some camp chores.

Breakfast at Denny’s – Ginger, immersed in her phone.

Clouds – I was hoping for a nice, as in flaming oranges and yellows, sunset. It didn’t happen, but this cloud formation and an otter made up for it. One-minute read
