Bob Dylan has said, "I love Paris. I love the way it is. I love the way it was. I love the way it always will be." It's a perfect reflection of the city's timeless charm and enduring appeal, capturing its unique blend of history, culture, and romance.

Visiting Claude Monet's home and garden was an inspiration.

Visitors can explore the lush gardens, tranquil pond, and charming house that Monet meticulously designed, offering a glimpse into the serene world that fueled his creativity.

Walking around Paris, looking in mirrors. They were going on, reflecting light from relics.

Monet checked his beard in one before picking the day's palette. An overthrown king and queen took one last glimpse as they ran from fate past the fragile few. One is from an antique shop packed to the brim with Gilded Age propaganda on a sidestreet saved from Blitzkrieg bombing.

One is from the streets, one an unwilling advert as we wander, peeking in cafes with Beth Hardy.

Merry Christmas you filthy animals. ✌️🎅

Me and my brother opening gifts, looks like Santa brought Lone Ranger themed gifts that year. There was an inflatable Scooby Doo tent, just out of frame and what’s looks like a giant fondue pot set.

All that remains are the gnarled apple trees, the concrete ruins of a homesteading dream, and Margaret's lilacs, fragrant; they thrive wild, standing firm against the cool, dry air that sweeps over the canyon's rim.

The land is a state park now, Castlewood Canyon State Park, an hour south of Denver but what seems a million miles from the 21st century.

Nov 11, 1889 — Washington, DC

Washington Territory admitted to the union, the 42nd state.

Named after President Washington, the rugged Pacific Northwest territory was narrowly named “Columbia” after the Columbia River and during the statehood process, the name “Tacoma” also failed.

Music carries us, this week back to Tennessee.

Walking alongside the Stones River while listening to the Good Ol' Grateful Dead’s 1981 Independence Day show was as perfect as it needed to be. Nashville, Tennessee July 4, 2021

I've been working on my own websites for ages now and one of the most underutilized digital spaces is your 404 Error page.

Own it and have fun with it:

1. add a call to action
2. include your contact info (do this every page)
3. redirect to another page -- make your own easter eggs.

Limitless ideas, use that potential page bounce to your advantage.

I just reworked mine, and this be**er Ford parked illegally in the middle of nowhere was the perfect match. 😆
