Today, I went back into the garden to take some photos of the self-designed greenhouses. I’m making a new book of my garden photos.

I am already tired of summer. Here's a picture from down the street in late spring. Those snowmen, women and children tried to warn me.

No "Constitutional Right" is absolute, none. You can't scream in front of my house at 2 am, you can't yell fire in a movie theatre if there isn't one ....and claim FREE SPEECH. I'm afraid that birthright citizens who obtain their citizenship through fraud may go the same way. Be prepared....

A Walk Towards the End of Spring — Jim Roche Photos
The fast spring growth has become the slow but steady development of a dense and impenetrable wall of green. The structure seems, over time, to have become less understandable, knowable. What is behi...

You know I almost agree, except I have had to attend these DEI programs for 20 years and they were unprofessional, pitted employee against employee and incredibly stupid. Just a money grab by nitwits. As we fix all of this let’s at least do it with some quality.

The cold has reached below zero and the garden is empty as can be. Half-finished tasks wait to be completed. A pheasant, red ring, fly by unexpectedly and startles me. Small birds flutter from bush to...

Have you attended any of these idiotic DEI classes? Good grief, they are a joke designed by idiots. The quality is always so bad you pay not attention to the aims. I’m glad never to witness another.

When I travel I often bring paper maps as I want to see the entire area, not just the tiny bit that fits on a iPhone screen. I also like drawing on them.

A photo from this morning, another day of overcast skies and rain. Often, the forests are filled with the remains of trees, a branch, a trunk or just a hill of decay. This one, though, had a look to it that made me cautious about it.
