27Jun2025 - This is turning into a journal/journey-down-memory-lane thing. I'm looking through my old photo albums, and at the same time, other memories and thoughts are popping up in my mind. This is what old(er) people do, yes? 9May2025 - I decided to leave FB, and just share my photos etc here. Thank you to the special people who check in here...(7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.)

You can get a lot done when you get up at 2:15am. After my morning driving duties were done (we're a one car family), I returned home and read the newspaper, did my computer routine with my morning coffee, and went for a walk in the Black River Riparian Forest and Wetland in Renton. Long name http://rentonwa.gov/living/default.aspx?id=16494
The lighting this morning was amazing and I'm sure I got some Keepers, but I won't have time to edit anything until later. Scratch that. I just peeked, and here's one shot. Fall is coming. Following my walk, I did some grocery shopping, and still got back home by 9am.






These shots were from a Kubota Gardens walk in July. They didn't make my first cut in editing I guess.

re Gruden - I sensed that there was someone behind me. I turned to look, and he got on my face.






A  few self portraits during the Seahawks game, with an encore by JR. The commercials were more fun than the game by the way. Credit goes to Photographer/Accomplice Teresa. JR was a little more focused on the game than my assistant and me.

Saturday, September 23, 2017



I indulged myself in what seems like a long time this morning - after dropping off my better half at work, I returned home and poured another cup of coffee. I sat down by the fireplace with Neo the cat and read the morning newspaper. I did my morning computer routine - emails, banking ($%# Equifax!), meandered through FB a little (I Follow some very good photographers), and then I went for a nice walk down by Southcenter. I wanted to do a loop thing where I walked in concentric circles so I could get an interesting image with my Mapmywalk App, but I got confused when I got inside after walking the perimeter. A brisk 1.9 miles in 30 minutes, followed by a stop at Seafood City for some bananas...








I like visiting Mike, and walking down his hallway, taking pictures of pictures...

I took a bunch of photos of the photographs on Mike's walls when I visited him awhile back. These are three of my favorites. A woodcut I made of Mike as a kid from way back when, a collage of Mike's photos of my kitchen when I lived up on Lopez Island, and one of my favorite photos of Jimmy when the "4 boys" stayed overnight at my place when I was living in Fremont. ? - who took the photo of Jimmy?
