Late in the morning, a year ago, I and my Nikon headed for Michigan's Portland. We had a specific photo in mind; we wanted to photograph the remnant of a millrace that used to supply power to--something. I really don't know Portland's history that well.
Nonetheless, the camera found a usable photo, though not exactly the one we'd planned. I posted that later in the day. The pic shows a hole that age and water had worn in the millrace wall. Things get old.
The camera and I then made today's photo, which was taken just a few feet north of the other. This image shows some trees and lawn at Two Rivers Park.

The trips to and from Portland were via dirt roads. In both directions I found photos on Tupper Lake Road.

Other photos taken on 10/9/2024: On my way out of town I discovered Mulliken's Main Street was blocked by a cement truck; they were working on repairs to the King Kone sewer failure. I took one photograph, for some reason using my phone instead of my Nikon 1. Then I detoured on Railroad and North Streets, and continued on my way.

It’s been two weeks since I was thrown into all this. I'm not sure whether it’s good or bad to say that I'm starting to get used to things out here. Me and Cristy have developed a regular schedule of going out on our wanderings for two days, setting up out in the wastelands for a night, and then heading back to the shelter. We drop off our gear, sleep in the comfort of our bunks, de-stress for a while, and then restock our gear and head back out.
Cristy’s done some more of her hobby work with our times at the shelter. She’s continued her drawing and last week she’d found some more patches that she’d added to her collection. Still have to admit it’s cute as hell. She’s also improved with her vocalization, if you could call it that; she’s getting a lot more comfortable around me and, for lack of a better word, playful. But she still knows when to keep a hold of herself when we’re out wandering.
We've also had a few more run in’s with rangers during our times out. We've been trying to practice pacifism whenever possible, but a couple of times we've had no choice but to drop the bullet on some of them. It’s just more gear though, and it’s not like these guys were doing anything good out here anyways…
Still, so far I'm actually impressed with myself that I've come this far. I can’t say I'm too optimistic, but I have faith that the two of us can keep each other going for now.
One of my favourite shots.
Taken without any filter and no post editing, in the freezing cold above a bridge on a snow filled lake.
Svitzer London heading up-river, MTS Valour down-river (and to Holland, according to Marine Traffic). Passing each other as they move between Gravesend and Tilbury on the River Thames, in failing light and fog.
It has been so dreary today - nothing but grey horrible skies and drizzle We went over to Keyhaven had a quick walk and came home. Phill has been working away a lot so we can't go too far. He had to leave again this evening and will be away most of the week so not much togetherness for us at this time of year.
An old Sugar Maple - Acer saccharinum (yellow leaves) and a young Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum (green leaves). They are two of three trees in our front yard in Carmel, New York.
Two wise men... Mary's Christmas Nativity scene. Only two of the three wise men showed up - you know they're hard to find these days!
It’s all in the point of view! One head preens while the other keeps watch. Carolina Beach, North Carolina. It's not Photoshop, although I did clone out a distracting half pelican on the left.
It was a very windy day, and you don't get very many palm trees in Texas, so the only thing to do was to take a pic.
