You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Fall photos of the ranch

Walking on the ranch through our woods on a fall day with a camera is an invitation to spend hours taking a series of photos of every little scene along the way: “Ooh, what a nice tree!” or “how sharp those thistles look in silhouette” or “those red leaves stand out so brightly against the green background”. Unfortunately I don’t have hours to spend walking or photographing, but here are some shots of some scenes that really stood out for me.

This photo from a couple of days ago showed the first touch of fall colors on this maple tree. We’re expecting frost tonight so it should be much more colorful next time I go by it.

Here’s my favorite madrone tree — just as the light is starting to fade.

And here’s the silhouette of a fir against a bright cloud.

This one is the best photo of Charlie Rock I’ve taken yet - just as it came out of the camera, but cropped. Usually there’s too much contrast between the sky and the rock, but not this day (this one was taken back in June).
