So today I am looking back and in the next day or so, I will be looking ahead as to what I would like to accomplish for 2019. The life... Continue Reading →
Trabuco Flats, 2018 copyright Douglas Stockdale After recently making the changes to move my website operations to SquareSpace, I have been taking some time away from working (photographing) my Trabuco Flats project.
