Recycle Bins and Trash Cans

Keeping Our Streets Clean

Yes, my photo collections are sometimes “strange”.

This collection began with the many travels that I’ve taken over the years.

As you’ll see there is a lot of variety in the size, shape and color of the receptacles that we use to dispense with all of our litter.

Las Vegas Architecture


<br /> Some Amazing Buildings<br />

Night and Day in the City


Over the years the Strip in Las Vegas has expanded tremendously in all directions. The strip has grown longer expanding both northward and southward. It has become fatter – spilling out on both sides of Las Vegas Blvd. And the glitzy casinos and picturesque buildings now stretch upward, leaping skyward.

To walk the Strip is to be amazed by this part of the city’s architecture. Below is a look at some of these sites during the day and after the sun goes down.

 


I’ve photographed only a few of the casinos here. But Las Vegas is home to countless other amazing buildings. Even if you’re not a gambler the size and scale of the architecture is worth a visit to the city.

A Visit To The Parks

Camping with Young Ones

I’m attracted to the national parks of the west. For each of my visits, I’m armed with a detailed list of attractions that I want to enjoy and photograph.

However, this past August’s visit was a little different.

I invited a granddaughter and grandnephew to accompany me on an end of summer excursion. We would go to a few of the parks and stay in a small popup camper.

So this series of photos are not my usual scenic variety. Instead they are a scrapbook of places that the kids and I visited.


Adeline and Elliott are surprised to find snow in August.

It was fun visiting the parks again, but this time with the kids in mind instead of my usual photography expedition variety.
