Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: April 23, 2017 We’ll soon be off to our annual family fishing trip at Clear Lake, so I thought a few odd ball pictures from our 2016 trip might be appropriate.
Welcome sight in high weeds
Yes, I knew it had rained the night before; but I gambled that the mud wouldn’t be too thick and chose to wear my sneakers instead of my hiking boots on my morning hike. And I managed to keep my feet reasonably dry — until I arrived at this dew-soaked portion of the trail. The shortest weeds reached up to […]
WPC: Earth
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of April 19, 2017. Earth Day is near! This week, let’s celebrate this planet on which we live. No matter how thick the coating of asphalt we may put down, the truth is we still have very little control over the earth that we live on. At any moment, despite our […]
The Adventure Continues… Angel Island
Alcatraz is probably one of the most famous (or infamous) of the world’s small islands; but it’s not the only island in San Francisco Bay. If I had to choose to see only one of these two, I would have had no problem at all choosing Alcatraz! But that was before watching this episode of California’s Gold and learning about the […]
Autumn – Metal
The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Autumn — Metal. You can take photos of anything that relates to the season of Autumn or metal. For metal I would like to see its strength and beauty. Have fun with this challenge. Seen while hiking in September and October: Seen at the flea market/auction:
Memory Monday, Week 22
This week I thought I’d feature a few faces rather than just places.

Rushmore and Hill City. I have some great memories of […]
Happy Easter!
Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge, April 16, 2017 Here’s an odd one for you, and a bit of mystery. As I was walking through my neighborhood one summer morning, I spotted a small bell hanging from under the rear end of a car parked in a driveway. I chuckled when I snapped the photo last August; but when I […]
WPC: Surprise!
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of April 12, 2017. Much of photography is about discovery, and with discovery may come a surprise. I was hiking along a deserted dirt road at 6:30 in the morning and eyeing the blackberry bushes on my right, hoping to spot a sweet snack or two. I just happened to raise my glance […]
