Welcome world

To my new blog.

Like the backporch blog, it will have some desert content along with lots of photography, especially seascapes, my new interest. Politics may rear its head as well.

 Senator Diane Feinstein has died at the ripe old age of 90. There will be tributes from folks more eloquent and knowledgable than this old guy.
