Looking at one photograph at a time
Beach, Crystal Cove State Park, December* 2017 copyright Douglas Stockdale - This seaweed and sand composition is the day three post for my Facebook black & white challenge. On my Instagram (@douglasstockdale) and Facebook post, I provided no explanation, and of course, no people are included in this photograph. As you might suspect by now,... Continue Reading →

Beach walk, Crystal Cove State Park beach, December 2017 copyright Douglas Stockdale I will have to admit that one of the great things about living in Southern California is that you are usually not that far from the Pacific Ocean beach and living in south Orange County, the beach is a 15 to 20 minute...

Tijeras Creek Trail, December 2017 copyright Douglas Stockdale - Earlier I had discussed how my morning walks have taken a bit of detour off into the "wild" as a trade-in for the neighborhood sidewalks and my usual route for the past many years.

Shanghai, China (#0745), copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale - Well, I have been doing some blog reads, non-stop, since returning from this recent assignment in China. I gotta admit, I missed them! Not great internet reception in China, especially for any kinds of social media. LoL Seems that Paul Butzi just got back from China as... Continue Reading →
Murrieta (In Passing series) copyright Douglas Stockdale - It was an unusual morning, being overcast at home, then on my drive to Riverside in the morning the sky turned to a light haze, which was followed by a cloud bank and subsequently open sky and then finally into a light fog. I saw there was fog also up in on... Continue Reading →
