The whole scene has a calm Southern California garden feel—sunlit, informal, and slightly whimsical, with the carved sun acting as a focal point, almost like a friendly guardian watching over the yard.

Last year I began taking photos every day and posting them to a gallery. I skipped a lot of days because I didn’t see anything interesting to take a snapshot of. You can find the 2025 gallery here. I have a new another gallery for 2026 going. And now that we’re two months into the new year, it looks like I’m going to keep with it.
I began taking photographs in earnest about thirty years ago. For most of that time I kept to Flickr and was content there. In recent years I’ve found myself leaving the fancy cameras at home and simply taking pictures of whatever turns up along my walks. Most days I use my iPhone. Sometimes I bring along a little toy Kodak camera. Nothing special.
I’ll be turning seventy this year, and I’ve come to see that it isn’t about the equipment. I don’t much care about the gear anymore. What matters now is the walk itself.

A charming gravel-front yard showcases a colorful collection of succulents and cacti beneath string lights, framed by a cozy cottage façade with green shutters.

On the left is a small yellow tracked excavator with a black operator’s seat and protective frame. Its articulated arm is extended forward, the bucket lowered and resting near the ground. The tracks are dusty, suggesting recent use.
On the right is a white Bobcat skid-steer loader with large rubber tires and a front bucket attachment. Its bucket is lowered and positioned close to the excavator’s bucket, almost as if the two machines are touching or working in tandem.

The overall scene blends suburban retail with a striking natural backdrop—everyday commerce framed by high alpine scenery.

Near the center stands a tall, slender green metal sculpture that rises from the ground and twists upward in long, ribbon-like strands, tapering near the top. Its organic form contrasts with the straight lines of the building.

I had a post about this Dolemen-like structure five years ago. A little research revealed that it’s called a trilithon. What it’s doing in someone’s front yard is a mystery.

I took this shot from the back parking lot of a strip mall in Upland, CA. The low, pale wildflowers and scrub fill the foreground and complement the snow on the mountains.
