Griff Hollows is an idyllic little place hidden away right next to a main road and suburban houses on the edge of Nuneaton. The natural wooded hollow with a brook running through it is full of native bluebells in springtime. The novelist George Eliot grew up near here and it appears in 'The Mill on the Floss' as 'Red Deeps' where the characters Maggie and Philip meet in secret.

Griff le riff and I spent a couple of hours last night experimenting with flash to see how we might employ it for our "LeedsByNight" project. Having only one another for models was a real drawback, but it was a productive couple of hours. We used his camera for nearly all of our experiments. So I have little to show. This portrait will have to do.
Thanks, griff. As always, I feel I am learning.

Friday morning a bulldog dressed as a rainbow fish walked into a library full of woodchucks. Imaginations were running wild at Greenwood Elementary School as Drake University's Associate Director of Marketing, Erin Bell, and Griff read The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister to a group of young learners in the library. Greenwood was just one of the eight DMPS elementary schools on the visiting list for the bulldog tour. After the reading, each student had a chance to pet Griff on the way to their next class.

This funky looking building houses a pretty decent and informal restaurant. It sits on Port Orford's commercial dock amidst all the fishing boats, and in season, the crab pots. Before and/or after dinner you can do a walking tour of the unique dolly dock and, if lucky, you might get to watch the boats either being lifted down to the water or lifted up onto their dock dollies by one of the giant cranes or you might get to watch the unloading of fish, crabs or sea urchins from the returning boats. Also a great view down the Oregon coast and a great place to watch storms and sunsets.
This is Griff coming to see what I was doing photographing the barnicles on the beach. As you can see he does a neat job of walking like a man!

Back home, there is modern art in Griffing Park near my house. 'Electric Tree' is an additional piece augmenting the show of Mark Handforth works at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) here in North Miami. (The clock-tower plaza in the background on the left is the Veterans Memorial.)
