This is my last day of photo a day. 1000 days of daily posting is enough for me. From now on, I'll post at three other spots, but I won't be posting here and I won't be posting daily. Feel free to continue to follow me at my Adventures Blog, my Portfolio Blog or my "For the Sake of Pictures" blog. Thank you for your loyalty for the last 1000+ days.

the day the shed died

Vallejo, CA

Along with a group of friends, I took down a shed in my back yard that was in danger of falling on the fences behind it.

the bed of my dreams

Vallejo, CA

In 2004 I was dating this wonderful girl. One day we went to a thrift store and saw a bed that we both liked. At the time I couldn't afford it and soon it was gone. Eventually the girl went too, but my desire for that bed never went away. As a woods craftsman, I really like the amount of effort that goes into making a bed like the one I had seen in 2004.
Since moving back to CA I have longed to have a similar bed to the one we saw in Rexburg in 2004. Often times the beds I see are too tall or have a canopy or something else. That was until last night on Craigslist. Last night I saw the bed I've always wanted (though only the footboard and headboard) and it was for FREE. I snatched it right up and now it is mine. All I need to do now is build the frame. I'm so excited.

rain then thunder the lightning then hail then nothing

Oakley, CA

This morning it was normal rain. Then from 11 to about 3 it was actually sunny. At about 3:15 it got really fun. Starting with a big clap of thunder, the skies just opened up and for the next 45 minutes. Rain is soooo hard to catch on a Point and Pray camera (still can't afford a Digital SLR), but the rain and hail was coming down in such high volumes that I was able to catch it. It was a great storm to witness.

Bathroom Posters

Antioch, CA

These are two of three posters in the Men's room at Lumpy's.

Walnut Creek, CA

I found myself in Walnut Creek with about 90 minutes to study. So I went to this little bakery I know and started studying. In the booth was this bench seat with this background. I thought it was rather OCD Zebra ish.
