First signed copy of Outer Rings, book 1. My apologies for the terrible handwriting, I was kind of caught off guard and didn’t know what to write.

Photo looking toward the Channel Islands, off the coast of California, on a particularly calm day. At least I’m pretty sure these are the Channel Islands. It’s a 20 year old picture, so I could be mistaken.
Underway shot looking toward what I believe are the Channel Islands, off the coast of California. Note: this was an exceptionally calm day, it’s.l not normally this glassy.

Photo of some flowers I took a long time ago.
Flowers for Monday. Took this photo years ago, and at this point I don’t even recall which iteration of camera I was on.

Blue glass in Boston, the John Hancock Tower. It’s a simple building, but I’ve always loved the contrast between that and the Prudential tower.

We just caught our cat intensely watching one of the neighborhood cats lick himself by the sliding glass door.
Didn’t want to kink shame our cat, so we just walked away.

Never has a more accurate meme been posted. Needed to see this today!
My favorite road cut in the whole world, in Utah, taken on a disposable Kodak camera.
Me looking up at a red mesa along the side of the road in Utah, back in 2004.
Two of my favorite landmarks in Utah, from the drive I took across in 2004. I had never been more than 100miles from the east coast when I first drove across, so all of this was new and amazing to me!

One of the taller mountains, near Bridgeport, California. Pretty sure it’s Dunderberg Peak.

Two of my favorite sights from US 395 south of Carson City:

Feeling tired and overwhelmed today, so here’s an old picture of some boats I saw a few years ago.

One of my favorite things to see in the Bay Area each spring were these flowers. Sometimes whole hillsides would be covered with them.

How do you whisper a secret to a carrier pigeon if you can’t find its ears?
I think all message transmitting avians should have visible ears.
Just saying.

Photo of a Tern, with fish in its beak, taking off from the glassy water.
One of my favorite bird watching captures- a Tern catching a fish. For a long time, I used to hang out at the waterfront with a telephoto lens just watching them repeatedly dive into the bay.

Great scene, from a great series!
If you see this, post a character from space:
Thank you, that’s really cool to hear/ read! And yeah, holding in my hands made it feel more real. Been writing for decades, but this is the first time I’ve ever done anything with something I’ve written.
Picture of the proof copy of my first science fiction novel, Outer Rings, Book 1.
I know it’s just a proof copy, and I need to adjust the cover alignments. But it feels more real holding it in my hand.

Pink ice plant flowers.
I know they are just ice plant flowers, but this color has always mesmerized me.

Picture I took of the moon a few years ago, that lives on my desktop. Crazy to think a group of folks just swooped around there for the first time in a half century.

Two for one— Christopher Lloyd talking about Star Trek while starring in Taxi. Wonder how surprised he would have been to find out that he would soon star in a Star Trek movie?
Taxi! Our current rewatch series— and probably not enough to keep us all held together.
Screen shot of my first science fiction novel, on Amazon/ Kindle.
So, I went and did a thing, and now it’s on the internet.

Absolutely!
