Trying to relive my old dirt bike days, I bought a Dual Sport, 2009 XR 650L Honda, with a little more than 2,000 miles on it. It is very different than my bikes of old! Man o man, add to that I am an Continue reading
After I purchased the 2005 Yamaha FJR 1300 Sport Touring Motorcycle, I thought I needed to do some changes to the suspension and do some test rides around the home area. I also wanted to do some very basic acceleration and or speed tests (Whooopeee!!) at the same time. So below are four test rides and their “Google Earth” Tracks with elevation and speed Continue reading

Well I have always considered myself a motorcyclist, even though I have bee with one for quite a few years. (Long story!) So I started looking for something that might fit my style of riding. At least on the street.
My choices were limited to my need for speed and for the love of twisty roads. But I also had to realize that I am NOT Continue reading
Poor old Oso. She wanted to come with us in the FJC this time because I don’t 4 wheel nearly as much as I used too, so Oso was very surprised when I turned into RRR on this day.
As soon I went in RRR, over the fist hump, Oso quickly crawled onto Maria’s lap, because Continue reading
Dr. James Lutz examines Oso with Maria trying to comfort poor Oso.
In our opinion, Dr. James Lutz (be sure to ask for him) of the Largo Veterinary Hospital, located in Largo Florida, is the very best veterinarian, in the entire Tampa Bay Area. In fact we drive for about an hour just to use him for our beloved dog, Oso. We live in Temple Terrace, Florida or Continue reading
Since I am getting asked about this quite a bit, I thought I should blog the reason. Anybody who knows me and or has wheeled with me might understand better.
So the story starts:
Ah, my Front-end damage! Didn’t you notice, almost every section of my FJC I have seemed to have dented, scratched, dinged, broken, tore off pieces and lost parts Continue reading
Yeah, yeah, I know, I was not going to wheel anymore. But I had a few extra minuets and it was right on the way back home. Plus I have into bee there in a LONG time! So I MADE Maria go in with me and shoot some photos of me and the FJC. Jus so I could play around with the iMovie “Movie Trailer” option it has now. At least it sounded good. lol 
So here in all it’s glory, is the Finished little “Movie Trailer” Continue reading
No this is not one of those cure all SPAM messages, but PLEASE read, some real life stories, I have actually participated in first had and wrote about in this post.
With my most enthusiastic recommendation I can give, is to get a second opinion on ANY major treatment (Surgery) your Doctor recommends for your Cancer. And get that second opinion at a REAL Cancer Research Institute! A place such as Moffitt Cancer RESEARCH Center located in the USF Campus Continue reading
From my previous post about the demise of Kodachrome film, I thought I would relate a story about a some of the complexities of shooting slide film and waiting for weeks for the mailers to return the process slides back to house.
This Bald Eagle fighting image is a prefect example. Continue reading
Kodachrome is no longer! Gone for good! For us old-time shooters Kodachrome 25 was the ultimate standard in high quality slide film for the longest time. It was a beast to work with, Continue reading
As a “Stock Photographer” who licenses photographs through agencies, who do not report to me where they are actually used, it is always interesting to find how they were used. Like this Full Page use Continue reading
Maria and I had to to go near H-Pit today, okay halfway close, within 20 miles. lol
If you look right behind Maria is a little mud hole, that I drove through while turning around and all of a sudden it got real deep and sloppy. I did NOT have A-Trac o Continue reading
You could tell the winners of this years race because one of them was sporting a Water Hyacinth bloom in between his teeth. lol Nice look Rob. Just kidding…
These photos are from the Temple Terrace, Florida Canoe Challenge Continue reading
Today was Oso’s bath day and she was not very happy about it. Maria loves to give her a bath. To bad for Oso. lol
It is always messy with Oso’s bathes. She is so furry that her fur is like a “Sham Wow” Continue reading
We (my wife Maria and I) heard that some of our friends young boy was going to his Little League Baseball (or T-ball) game in Temple Terrace, Florida, on Tuesday, we asked Continue reading
Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger) is another favorite bird I love to photograph. The slide show at the bottom of the post has the link to 165 larger photos. These shots Continue reading
This Least Tern Mating photograph, is one other of my favorite photographs. I shot this at Ft. Desoto, in Pinellas county, Florida, at the far eastern beach. I also have several other shots of Least Tern mating behaviors, at several different locations.
It is fun to watch the males fly in and trying to give the females Continue reading
I used to use this photograph in a very large size, when I did Fine Art Shows. People walking by, almost always had a common question, what the heck is that photo of, and how did you do it.
I loved asking people what they thought it was and how I did it. Most people would figure Continue reading
Decided to upgrade to max out my iMac 27 i7 to 16 GB of RAM.
Purchased them from OWC for a really good price.
Already Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 is eating the ram and zipping my workflow right along. Yee Haw!!! lol

On August 21, 2006 Maria drove home the new Toyota FJ Cruiser we just purchased!
In that four years of time we, or I should say I, have taken the FJC to all sorts of places in Florida. And driven all sorts of trails, some with group rides and some alone.
It started with the Continue reading

I was too busy taking photographs of Roseate Spoonbills to really listen to what Maria was saying. I knew that “Big Cranky” was a nickname for “Great Blue Herons, and especially for the large and feisty one that was almost a permanent inhabitant at the this shallow lake in west central Florida. With a pleading emphasis again, “Paul! PLEASE take a look! He has caught the alligator! Continue reading
My wife tells me these are Day Lilies. I am not too sure, so if she is wrong, I would love to here about it. LOL. Besides it is almost 11pm and they are still blooming.
There is a pot by the back of the screen room where when its dry it looks like everything is dead, but when it rains, this open their magnificent blooms. The do NOT seem to give off any scent and I never seen, any butterfly, bee Continue reading
I always wanted to be able to photograph a shorebird like this, ”Sanderling” having the life and death struggle with a Marine Worm. It was a tug of war for a while and the Sanderling kept moving around in and out of focus, and jerking it’s Continue reading
Since I am busy working on my other website, I thought I would put up some of my favorite images over time. This “Western Swallowtail Butterfly” on Marigold Blooms was taken on slide film over 30 years ago.
For my birthday, some friends in Washington State, lent me the keys to their Mountain Cottage, in Enumclaw Washington for the Continue reading
I am still trying to get just the right image I am looking for here from the White Ibis roost on the Hillsborough River, next to Riverhills Park In Temple Terrace, Florida.
From the last time I tried to get a shot of this they roosted on a different island. They other day, I noticed that they had moved Continue reading
Well I went earlier today, to make sure I got at least a few shots of dogs in action, here at Temple Terrace’s Hilltop Dog Park. I got 81 that I was okay with. You can click THIS LINK to go to the large gallery or double click any of the images in the small slide show below.
It had rained a couple of times already today but the sun was out and there was a nice breeze. Continue reading
Decided to take Oso (our dog’s name, it means Bear in Spanish) to the Hilltop Dog Park in Temple Terrace, Florida, but decided to drive through Riverhills Park just for the heck of it.
Whoops! I got distracted, saw some Limpkins (birds) and White Ibis (more birds) Continue reading
Limpkins are almost always present here at Riverhills Park in Temple Terrace, FL. They eat these huge snails that live in the Hillsborough River here. The ground near the river is littered with empty snail cases.
White Ibis are usually here also. In fact, back in February I took a couple of sunrise images with hoards Continue reading
