Tales from FAR Manor

The snow is gone, the temps aren’t going below freezing past the end of the 7-day forecast, and the rain will arrive in the next couple of h...

Sounds like a good name for a rock band, huh? She has her accompanists… Like Sage. Sage adds a little spice to the music. She's pretty s...

Well. Now that the thunderstorms have passed through — and God knows we needed the rain here — I can say hello once again. It has been a wee...

The wild violets are in wild riot all across my lawn. This was the first pic I took with my new f1.8, 50mm lens — it worked pretty good in t...
