A waterfront scene near the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California.

I often go to The City and wander along the Embarcadero and nearby areas with my camera. This photograph was made near the boat landing right behind ATT Park – home of the Giants. There are often large ships anchored out beyond this part of the San Francisco shoreline, and they are a continuing subject for me.

Grapevines photographed against the sunset sky at the Falkner Winery near Temecula, California.

This photo is related to some of what I described in the previous post – my daughter’s recent wedding, which took place at this winery in Temecula. In early May we were there to make some arrangements, and in the evening I wandered off for a moment (as the father of the bride is prone to do… ;-) and photographed the new vines of the nearby vineyard late in the day.

Blog on Autopilot… But the Real Pilot is Coming Back

Almost everything that has appeared on this site during the last week was queued up weeks ago. “Why?” you ask. (Or maybe you don’t, but I’m going to answer anyway. :-)

It has been a very busy June – and for the most part not for photographic reasons. I’m a faculty member at a California college that is on the quarter system, and the spring term has been coming to a conclusion, with final exams this week – and I’m deep (hip deep, more or less) in the process of grading, grading, grading. And more grading.

Two weeks ago my oldest son moved to the SF Bay Area from Seattle and I flew up there to help him load a U-Haul truck, drive it to the Bay Area over the course of two days, and then unload and move into his new place.

And last weekend was my daughter’s wedding! As you can imagine, that wonderful event filled the better part of four or five days. (Although we hired professional photographers I did do some photography as well. More on that later.)

But in a few days things will begin to calm down. Grades will have been turned in. I’ll have the summer ahead of me – and I don’t teach summer session and I don’t return to the college until late September. This will give me more time for my photography, and I have some plans to post articles on several subjects here on the blog.

I hear the Sierra calling!
