Because, seriously, who else is going to show your their kid’s liver???

Posted on February 22, 2019 by pouringmyartout

Yup, that is the liver and gallbladder belonging to my younger daughter, Mollie. I guess, technically, the gallbladder no longer belongs to her, since it was taken out. That photo is a close up of one of four photos, on … Continue reading →

Random cell phone photos; (or): My second double rainbow in two weeks, a tumbleweed on a beach, my dog ate my f*&%$#g books, a really cold car, a cool bird, and an upside down cat…

Fun with the sun… (or); Instead of just showing you the rest of those photos of the sunset over the San Francisco Bay that I took when I went with my mom into the hills above Berkeley during Christmas vacation, what if I intersperse them with copies upon which I worked some digital magic… part 1…

Who doesn’t like a nice green and purple alien sunset? Even if it was really quite boringly terrestrial. You don’t often see the stars that clearly while the sun is still setting… Not in your universe, maybe! Smoke on the … Continue reading →

So, my younger daughter, Mollie, had an organ removed… and all you got was these lousy and almost completely unrelated photos from my phone…

Posted on January 23, 2019 by pouringmyartout

Okay, the title is a total lie. These first few photos aren’t completely unrelated to Mollie’s surgery. I took them of a big, thorny tree outside the medical center while the surgery was being done, on Coronado Island here in … Continue reading →

Just more pictures of Christmas time in the Bay Area… and dogs…

Posted on December 30, 2018 by pouringmyartout

Sometimes… often for me… you just meet a dog and fall in love. It was like that with Oso. He belongs to a nice couple that my daughter Mollie and I ran into down at the dog park by the … Continue reading →

It’s an Arthur thing… (or); dogs, cats, birds, and stuff…

Posted on December 27, 2018 by pouringmyartout
