It wasn’t until I saw the image in Lightroom that I realized I might be copying the photographer William Eggleston. You remember his tricycle in the street? The title was Big Wheels I think. Anyway that’s what come to me when I saw the photo. I was trying to get the fruit tree, the chair, the palms, and a portion of the blue sky all in the picture.
The chair was where it was because the owner’s two dogs had dug a nice hole in the ground. The owners placed the chair over the hole. Just thought you should know.

Good photos are everywhere. Just look. If at first you fail to see them then you better look again.
I had been spending a couple of days with friends in Indio, CA. If you don’t know Indio then think Palm Springs. Anyway the first two days there it was overcast. Miserable. Then on the third day the Sun appeared. I got the camera out of the bag and went into their backyard and took a few photos. I then decided to get a picture that I’ve wanted to take when I first arrived but the weather interfered. On the way out the front door I saw an image I hadn’t seen until that moment. The Sun was blocked by the walls of the entrance but there was a lot of ambient light inside. Two feet outside the door I stopped and took the above photo then continued to the front of the house and out in the street to get what I thought was the photo of the day.
Not so. Even though I did get the photo I was waiting for this photo of the vines hanging down the front wall and showing enough green to accent the scene was the best of the lot.
In the end never stop looking.

This post office is in Capistrano Beach, California. It’s in one of the oldest building in South Orange County. Probably the oldest in Capistrano Beach. Every year it gets on a rumor list for post offices that will close and each time it escapes.
South Laguna is another post office that is always on a short list for closure. It may get the ax also. It too is housed in a very old building providing service to a rather small community.
So is this the year that the U.S Post Office becomes irrelevant?
