What is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days — J.R. Lowell As we are on the brink of plunging head first into July, I decided to take a look back at some late June photos from previous years. Some of these images I haven’t even looked at in quite a long time, and […]
In the final episode of Huell’s Baja Whale Adventure, he and his guides take a break from hanging out with the whales for a trip to the small town of San Ignacio. It takes them a little while to actually reach their destination, but there’s more than enough to see along the way. Then it’s time for a delicious meal […]
Out of all the types of trees found growing along the shores of Lake Natoma, nothing sticks out from the rest like the California palms. There aren’t really too many palm trees near the lake, but once you start noticing them, they make an impression! I first spotted this one way back in early 2015 as it sprouted from the […]
Last Monday I shared a few images from Fresno High School’s 1968 yearbook; and while I certainly plan to feature more of the same in the future, I just couldn’t resist having a look at something completely different today. Late last month at the flea market I discovered a small photo album that I instantly fell in love with — […]
Just after publishing my previous post about Bruhel Point, I saw a Facebook post from the Mendocino County Tourism Commission with the tag line “Room to Roam,” and I thought it was really appropriate for my final group of photos from our outing there last May. As I mentioned before, we had the whole area to ourselves when we discovered […]

I promise myself that when the seasons change and the temperature begins to drop I’ll more fully appreciate the chance to get out and do something in the outdoors. I enjoy looking back at some of my photos from previous winter […]
As I look over the time stamps of the photos I shot at Bruhel Point, it’s hard to believe we were there for only an hour! As soon as I got out of the car, I knew I was going to like this spot right away. I could see the ocean, and the trail that led down the hill was […]
At first glance, Bruhel Point is nothing more than a vista point located a little way north of Fort Bragg on Highway 1 in Mendocino County. It’s okay if you’re content to stay near the car and enjoy the view, but there’s so much more to see. During our visit we had the entire place to ourselves, and it’s quite […]
Huell’s Whale Adventure continues with the third of four episodes today. This segment features almost nonstop interaction with the grey whales, who seem to really enjoy being gently touched by human hands. Next week’s one-hour episode will see Huell getting away from the water a bit and exploring the nearby town. Until then, enjoy the whales! (Click on the linked […]
