Not So Green, But Still Gorgeous Growing up in Ohio I got quite used to nature being very green. The thick forests and endless green fields was something that I saw as being synonymous with nature. Out here in Southern California that quite often is not the case.

A Detour Through Yellowstone A while back we had to take a trip from Florida to California and decided to take the very long way. I have done this trip many, many times over the years, but we thought this time we'd make it interesting! We started off in Gainesville, Florida and drove north to…

Experimenting Together I basically have zero experience with a paint brush. I've always wanted to try, but just never seemed to get around to it. My wife, as many of you already know is a professional artist. She's been trying to get me to do something with her for years.

Just sharing a few shots that I took down at the beach here in Los Angeles, California. Of all the places that I've lived around the world, this place has one of the most unique looking skies, in my opinion. We get a lot of weird colors that I don't see a lot of other places.

These are a few photos that I took outside of my house with my trusty Canon 7D and 85mm lens. Although initially I was just trying to take some cool photos, there is a bit of a funny story behind them. About an hour before taking them, I heard a ton of commotion outside, so I cam running to see…

These photos are from several years ago before the exhibit was closed. From what I understand there is a lawsuit underway because of the neglect of the submarine. I'm glad we got to see it! Keep in mind that it was very dark inside and difficult to take photos, but I did the best that I could…

Here are a couple of sketches of me drawn by my phenomenally talented wife, Amanda Turner. More to come! This one actually looks exactly like me. Even down to the scar on my upper lip, and lack of eyebrows. The first one was done in colored pencil. The next is charcoal:

Just snapped a few photos of critters down in Loxahatchee, Florida. These guys are all over the place! A bit of a closeup: And this cool frog: Of course we cannot leave out Harvey the Dog!

I just came across this old collection of photos that I took back when I lived in Austin Texas in the year 2000. I admittedly was really wasted, but was having a great time on 6th street. Sorry the image quality isn't fantastic, but hey - these were taken on a crappy low res 1st generation digital…

A few years ago when I was in the UK, we went to visit my wife's grandmother's grave in the Newmarket Cemetery. I was struck by how elaborate some of the old grave sculpture was. I thought I'd post a few of them here for the enjoyment of the Golos community. Of course angels are a very popular…

I just thought I'd post a few views from our visit to Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire England to show how green and beautiful England is from above, as well as from the ground. After a climb to the top, the first thing I saw after looking over the side of the tower was this: And then I turned…

Awakening has nothing to do with gaining attainments; it has everything to do with losing incorrect perceptions. This is really what meditation is all about. Although there are many methods of meditation, there are really only two critical classes: Concentration (Any method that causes the mind to…

If you haven't seen it, I'll have to say that it is totally worth it. Star Trek - In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall is an experience that you won't soon forget. To get there, we took the London Underground to King's cross, then transferred and got off somewhere near Hyde Park.

Here are a few images from our trip to the Grand Canyon and Lake Havasu. Not a lot to say, just pictures. Enjoy! Harvey is enjoying it! Now Lake Havasu. Super hot outside, but very tranquil. Harvey wasn't sure about paddle boarding. It remained very warm late into the evening.

The first time that I ever heard of Polignano a Mare was during a long Facebook feed scrolling session. I came across a promotional image of cliff-side restaurant called Ristorante Grotta Palazzese. We were overwhelmed by the natural beauty and interesting architecture.

Hello, fellow Golos friends! My name is Rick Nuthman. I am a computer programmer; specifically a game developer living in San Pedro, Los Angeles California. This is my goofy dog, Harvey: Harvey likes to help with whatever we are doing at the time. Most of the time he does this by just looking…
