Clouds can be a sailor's best friend. Given, you'd have to be an awfully lonely sailor, and probably have to scratch a half dozen unmentionables off the list before you ever got to "clouds", but, ... hey, some modern sailors keep a nice cloud book with them in the navigation room. OK? It helps to…

Blogging the Storm, Part 1
The view from my desk in the kitchen is a sunny garden near the bay, but Tropical Storm Dolly is moving slowly west from 200 km off the coast here in the Gulf of Mexico. I am "in the Cone", but seem to be sidestepping the projected landfall as Dolly veers slightly southwest. The one question on my…

Gray; All of the "Photo of the Day" entries are photographs I have taken. I took this one during the first day of my vacation to Utah and Wyoming this past summer. It was amazing to see the storm go by in the distance (though it eventually came to rain on our tent in the night!).

Thank you for sharing your photos, as well. They look great. At this point I do not post photos taken by others as "Photo of the Day" entries, but if I am ever out of photos and need one I will definitely consider one of yours. Thanks.

Aha! Was not clear they were all yours. Totally cool.

Gray; Nothing too fancy. I like using digital slrs but I can only really afford "entry-level" models. I had an Olympus E300 that I really loved, but it was stolen when my apartment was robbed. Now I use a Nikon D60. I most often use it with a Nikkor 50mm lens for close-ups and a Sigma DG 70-300mm lens for shots that are a bit further away. I have been meaning to take a class and learn about the finer points of photography, but right now I just don't have the time! Maybe someday, and when I get a little better I can justify getting some better equipment.
