This is the "Up Close and Personal" page. There are two themes, close-ups, and other images that can only fit the "Personal Favorites" category.

Firstly - Close-Ups. I really enjoy getting in close to a subject, especially Nature subjects. There's just so much wonderful detail there that we don't see if we stand back. Also in this section is my "Barking Mad" series, a study of tree bark.

....and here are the personal favorites

Why are American barns painted red? Do the paint manufacturers make a special color called "Barn Red"?

This happy character is a regular sight at San Francisco's Fishermans Wharf.
I almost went back home this particular rainy Saturday. I'm rather glad I didn't.

Another of my favorite seasons for photography is Fall, or Autumn, depending which side of the Atlantic you're from.
The leaves change color and the berries ripen....
