This is how is goes….a last phone call,  a last dinner, a last walk,  a last hug, a last goodbye, a last attempt, a last laugh, a last reach, a last offer, a last betrayal of friends,  and……….. a last photo……everyone should have a birthday photo…….so here it is…….I’m sure it will not be your last birthday photo, but the last for me……..Happy Birthday. ………As a gift I wish you all the happiness and joy…… This is just the final words of a hopeless romantic fool….. and please no comments needed……..so much has already been said…….and the truth be known………I’m fine.

I guess what we do for our children is to protect them, shelter them, teach them, and hope that the few years we have to influence them, will be enough…. We live in a time that’s different from when we were children, and yes I’m sure that our parents felt the same way… But the world is different now….Well yesterday my son James with his family tied the knot…. (They do things a different now)  and make his family complete….. I am very proud of my son for the life that he is building for his family…… They had their own photographer……But I snuck one in……with the fuji……

I remember this as a good day….my life was almost perfect…..but then the world moved on……and what made my world good……move on…..and now I’m moving on…….that’s life……..

It’s a rough day at work for me…….

Call me sentimental……a hopeless romantic…..or you can just call me silly….. I still love to see this…..kind of a Endless Love ………to me it’s a simple thing but it means so much…it’s like they are always saying stay close…. and I never want to let go…….of our friendship….and most of all……our love.   Yep just call me a silly old man…..

Well how about a visit from the family……..

And the things that you see……

I’m sure lots of folks have seen a photo of the Point Reyes Shipwreck…. it’s been photograph by thousands of photographers….. sad to hear a few weeks back some thoughtless people caught the back side of the boat on fire….basically burn off the stern part of the boat….. sad to say it was photographers playing with fire…..for some photos….My thinking is we still have most of the boat…..for photographers to still take photos of…….a few years back their wanted to remove the wreck….but it was saved by a of folks many were photographers………sad that photographers almost destroyed it……

A game of cards…..
