Trabuco Arroyo, Fall copyright 2021 Douglas Stockdale - Yesterday I was on a little quest for running water to experiment/play with my Quantum Elements series and I was surprised not to find any. The reason I thought I would find some is that Trabuco Creek that runs through Trabuco Arroyo near me has moving water,... Continue Reading →

Black Walnut tree, Eugene Oregon, October 2021 copyright Douglas Stockdale This is a take-off on my 10-minute rule for artistic (photographic) creativity, that is meant to help me become engaged with a new location, typically when on a holiday.

O’Neill Park, 2021 Copyright Douglas Stockdale - I think that I have to admit that I am still a landscape junkie. Yeah, I know, I need some therapy, so I get to blame this on my anxiety, so it ain't my fault. Yeah, right, as though there was someone else who composed this photograph and pressed...

Morning walk in the adjacent O'Neill Park where there are signs warning of all things; rattlesnakes, mountain lions and Unexploded (Military) Ordnance. Just a normal day here in Southern California. The rattlesnake and mountain lion warnings are posted at the trail head entrance while the Unexploded Ordnance (aka UXO) signage is scattered around in this... Continue Reading →
