Wasn't This Supposed to be a Writing Blog?

I must apologize to all. While it's true that I have license to ramble on about whatever I wish, the fact remains that most of us are here because we are writers trying to figure out how to make it in these difficult publishing times. I hope to get back to writing issues shortly, but I felt the need to finish off all of the various photos of recent travels.

Why not contrast everyday life against the fantasies of global travel? First is a shot of my youngest son in one of the nearby oil fields in Azerbaijan.

Next are a few shots (taken by my oldest son) of our recent vacation in London. Here is an odd Crooked House in the charming town of Windsor outside of London.

 Here my fabulous wife and youngest son relax in one of London's amazing parks.

Let's see, how about a shot my eldest son took at the Green Day concert at Wembley Stadium.

I'll finish with a shot of my youngest and my wife, exhausted from a long day of walking, resting on a bench near the Tower of London.

  5. I really love that last picture of your son and wife. You should enlarge that one and put it in a frame.

  10. I LIKE all the travel photos--the oil field though, is really interesting to me. There are oil fields other places (the ones I've seen close up are in Wyoming) but that one somehow seems more desolate. Fabulous family! (and I'm on about p. 70 of your book--taking notes, but the WRITING is fabulous... just to let you know.

  11. Looks like an awesome trip! Why no photos of your elder son? He prefers the position behind the lens?

  12. Hart, you are so kind!

    Matt, since I had been to England so often I didn't bring my own camera, so my older son took most of the pictures. I did have some with him in them, but none of them came out great.
