My new camera has an infinity setting which is indicated by a mountain icon. Eager to test out this feature, I took off to Mission Trails and headed up Kwaay Summit. The first picture below was taken with my old camera (5 megapixel Canon Elph) on the Auto setting. The second photo [...]

Last month I promised I’d return to the San Diego Zoo soon and I did. And with my new camera, I think I got some better photos than the last time.

Last November I got half way up Black Mountain and bailed for lunch. Today I finished that steep hike. Afoot and Afield listed this hike as a 2 hour hike, but I was able to complete it in 70 minutes. New photos were added to the existing gallery.

My back recovered enough to hike for 90 minutes in Mission Trails. I choose to hike Kwaay Paay Summit. Next week I plan to slowly return to lifting weights. The dead-lift is dead to me.

Last weekend Lura’s friend Kelli came down from Seattle. We went out for dinner and I got to hear great things about The Emerald City. I have to visit this place. If it weren’t for the rain, I’d have my bags packed already.
The next day I decided to compare Seattle with San [...]
Although I’m not happy with the camera, I really am enjoying the 22 inch ViewSonic widescreen monitor that arrived today.
Now my computer (HULK) has 2 monitors. Nice!
