A Long List of Past Photos

Photographs

Forgive me as it will take a while for these to load, but I wanted to put them in a blog instead of getting rid of them completely. I’ve decided to change my blog once again and stick to the topics I have the most interest in like movies, television, books, and coloring to hopefully

Hoover Dam (why not?!)

Photographs, US History

On my first day on vacation (three more days left/two if you don’t include the weekend), I went to Hoover Dam. It took five years to build and sits on the border of Nevada and Arizona. I should’ve brought sunglasses, and was surprised it was that busy on a weekday. I had to wait for

Vegas Strip #3

07/28/2018

Photographs

I’m waiting for the thrill of living in the Las Vegas area to subside, but so far it hasn’t. After spending time in both the old and new strip within the last month, I prefer the modern hotels compared to Fremont. I spent about four hours today walking around Flamingo, Venetian (no pictures this time),

A close encounter of the owl kind — Christopher Martin Photography

07/25/2018

Animals, Photographs

Almost two months ago, I came across a great gray owl that was surveying a bog from the top of a weathered fence post. I watched him for a few minutes as he looked around. Then the big, yellow eyes watched me for a few seconds before the wings stretched out and he flew up […]

A Few Pictures from the Parking Lot

Photographs

Since moving to the Las Vegas area, I’ve seen weird rain, thunder, and lightning patterns. It can arrive quick and leave quicker, but now I don’t feel so bad for the trees. I’ve had flash flood and dust storm warnings on my phone. The first for me as I’m more used to fire alerts and long before

Vegas: Part 4 (On The Way Back)

04/24/2018

Photographs, Travel

Everything must come to an end, and when we left Vegas it was in the low 90s. It was unusually hotter than normal. The terrain started as desert and ended with lush green. We passed by three sets of solar panels in between Nevada and California. I liked being back in the cooler LA weather,

Vegas: Part 3 (Fremont and Main)

04/24/2018

Photographs, Travel

I’m winding my way to Fremont and Main where it’s a whole different kind of casino clientele. The inside of the casinos basically still look alike, but without the pizazz of the newer ones. We were limited on time and both were tired so we only spent about an hour here. I’d like to come

Vegas: Part 2 (The Strip)

Photographs, Travel

I’m almost there to New York New York. There’s a lot of winding around on the streets to get to the parking lot. Luckily, I wasn’t driving because I would have definitely gotten lost. We made good time to and from Vegas. Lots to do and next time want to get in some shows and
