With all the rain we've been having we're also getting a plethora of rainbows. This one was the end of an epic arc that covered the entire downtown San Diego area, and lasted for a good ten minutes. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
HEY YOU BIRDS! GET OFF MY BEACH! Actually, they were nice enough to stop and pose instead of mindlessly running back and forth to escape the tide. I should be more grateful. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
Another photo from my filter-obsessed days ... wish I had the original, but this one is at least 15 years old, I believe. Just a random Vespa parked in a driveway on my Sunday walk through Hillcrest. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
As promised—or threatened, I suppose—here's part 02 of my beach sunset photos from 12/11/2023. Love the silhouetting on this one. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
I'm in love with this photo I took—once again near the Hotel del Coronado—back on 12/20/2021. The dark, moody sunsets are just as beautiful as the bright, vibrant ones. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
Captured in Tidelands Park in Coronado ... it seemed like a lot of planes were leaving behind contrails as they headed for their final destination, somewhere south, from the looks of things. It almost looks like a lightning strike ... Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
A dramatic beach sunset snapped behind the Hotel del Coronado on 12/11/2023. Stay tuned for Part 02 ... Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
From my old, filter-obsessed beginning days on Instagram ... I snapped this picturesque balcony up on Bankers Hill in San Diego, near my doctor's office. It just cries out for Juliet or Rapunzel for a dramatic moment, don't you think? Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
I have recently taken to riding the ferry again, for better or worse. Better because it's a mostly pleasant way to travel, worse because I lost my car in the recent floods (click here to read about that). That orange color is a reflection from someone sitting in the bench in front of me who... Continue Reading →
I don't walk to the beach nearly enough, but when I do, I sometimes capture a scene as lovely as this. This was taken on 12/11/2023 behind the Hotel del Coronado. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
I love this naturally blue-tinged photo from the Southbank side of the Thames River in London, looking across the expanse of the Millennium Bridge to St. Paul's Cathedral. I love this area of London and always stay there, near the Tate Modern, when I visit. If you enjoyed this post, please leave a like or... Continue Reading →
Oh, to live in London and just walk around and explore bookstores one day of each week. That would be a definite nirvana for me. Taken in 2019, I believe, on Charing Cross Road. If you enjoyed this post, please leave a like or a comment and follow me here and on Instagram@gg92118!
Hey, all I know is, I saw the bridge, Big Ben, and the bird and just started snapping photos. This is one of my all-time favorite pics from any trip, anywhere, that I've ever taken. God, I love London. If you enjoyed this post, please leave a like or a comment and follow me here... Continue Reading →
My favorite spot to be when the leaves fall in autumn is Central Park in New York City. I haven't been there since 2021, and to be honest, the last few fall trips I made back there had lousy timing, at least foliage viewing wise. Here's a shot from years ago that makes me wistful...

This here is how we grow our asparagus in these here parts. Tall and lean and we need a big pot to boil them in. Serve 'em with a little sea salt and lots of melted butter. Good luck finding a plate big enough to serve them on, though. (Palm trees in Tidelands Park, Coronado,... Continue Reading →
