Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIPGBU_140215_06.JPG: Octopus Agave Botanical Name: Agave vilmariniana Native Range: Mexico USDA Plant Hardiness Zones: 9-11 As the Octopus agave nears the end of its life, usually sometime during the winter, a flower spike develops. The spike grows 10-15' tall and produces masses of small, creamy yellow flowers. The flowers are followed by seed capsules and bulbils (sometimes called plantlets). As the parent plant dies, the bulbils fall to the ground, take root and become new plants. Octopus agaves are relatively short-lived as agaves go, generally flourishing less than 10 years.
2. SIPGBU_140406_097.JPG: The Great Hall: Once the largest room in America, the Great Hall was originally conceived to display miniature models required of inventors when the building housed the United States Patent Office. The space also served as the first national museum, and it was here that the Declaration of Independence was publicly displayed between 1841 and 1871. The guests at Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural ball passed through this room to join the receiving line in what is now called the Lincoln Gallery. Following a disastrous fire in 1877, which severely damaged other portraits of the third floor of the building, this area was redone in the American Victorian Renaissance style to which it has now been restored.
3. SIPGBU_140504_01.JPG: Garrett Peck had mentioned earlier in the day that I should see the graffiti preserved at the portrait gallery building. So I did!
4. SIPGBU_140822_01.JPG: Working on the ceiling lights
5. SIPGBU_141014_02.JPG: Freedom is life, and freedom is rooted in democracy; and we owe it to our children and grandchildren to pass on this love of freedom and the means to preserve it. -- Paul Peck This gallery is named in honor of Paul Peck -- who has long appreciated how crucial civic engagement is to our democracy -- to commend his service and generosity to the National Portrait Gallery.

Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.

2014 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Winchester, VA in March; Nashville, TN in May, and Atlanta, GA in September), Michigan to visit mom in the hospice before she died (June), annual trip out west for San Diego Comic-Con (including Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, Sacramento, Oakland, and Los Angeles) (July), and Michigan for mom's tribute event (July). Ego strokes: Paul Dickson used one of my photos as the author photo in his book "Aphorisms: Words Wrought by Writers". Number of photos taken this year: just over 470,000.
