I recently wrote a post on Terrible Tilly, the lighthouse just off the coast from Tillamook Head in Oregon (you can see it here ). In the process of working on it I edited a few photos that had a bit more

After kicking the idea around for a while I finally went and created my own token! Yesterday I signed up/in on lensy.io and got whitelisted, which was far more painless and trouble free than I had expected.

Just south of the Columbia River on the Oregon coast is a tiny speck of an island with the remnants of a lighthouse perched atop it. Known as 'Terrible Tilly' for its dangerous and inhospitable conditions

These photos almost never happened, I initially drove past the place before I thought better of it and doubled back. I was born and raised heathen, I half expected the place to burst into flames as soon

A few years ago I was driving on Colorado State Highway 82, heading to Aspen to see the Maroon Bells when the scenery I was passing through compelled me to stop and explore. I'd made sure to include some

The first time I ever saw an elk in the wild, it was standing on the side of I-75 going through the Smoky Mountains. Fast forward a decade or two and the largest herd of elk I've ever seen are blocking

Well, it's starting to look like the ones who hate science aren't too fond of math either... It adds up if you think about it :) I finally broke down and took a gander at the election results in case you

I'm currently doing my damndest to avoid anything the do with the news or the election results so I've been going through my photos that don't have anything to do with politics. I reckon critter photos

The polls have been closed here for about an hour now, so all that is left is the waiting. I suspect we will have plenty of that to go around and I never was very keen on waiting anyways, it's starting

A few years back I got to drive Highway 101 through Washington (and most of Oregon). One of my favorite spots from that little jaunt was camping in Olympic National Park. I hadn't realized until shortly

It's Sunday once again and I'm sitting on the back porch smoking and drinking coffee, listening to a little James McMurtry. Not for sure if it's McMurty's sharp, sarcastic wit or the looming end of the

For once I actually remembered it was the first of the month in time to power up some hive for the #hivePUD festivites! I've been meaning to do this for a while but me and calendars just don't get along

Life is hard when you're a scaredy-cat People always yelling at you to scat It ain't very much fun When loud noises make you run Having to always hide Is a little rough on a fella's pride Can't get any

I was listening to a cover of Robert Earl Keen's "Shades of Gray" (see below) earlier today and it gave me the idea for this post. Near the end of the song it makes a reference to "that

I wanna go where the cold winds blow High on a mountain where the trees don't grow Keep company with the clouds Among the peaks standing proud Sup with the sun Amid the glaciers on the run Beware, the

When I was a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I grew up. When I got older I learned you needed great vision to be a pilot so that got shot down, but my fondness for military aircraft and particularly

Growing up in eastern Kentucky, coal was never too far away. Nowadays about the only time I see it is the occasional barge on the Ohio River. For better or worse (mostly the worse) coal has been a big

I saw on the news the other day that Estes Park in Colorado had to evacuate due to wildfires. For those of you not familiar with the area, Estes Park is the town right outside Rocky Mountain National Park,

Ever get the feeling that you're just marking time waiting on something to happen but ain't sure quite what? Winter is definitely on the wind around these parts and with all that's been going on lately

Dead Eyes As promised I'm back with another series of shots of our lovely local law enforcement looking their finest! I can't decide if the guy in this first photo is plotting to kill everyone or just
