I hope everyone is having a great holiday — and this isn’t really goodbye to Korea; according to my research, nachunge bwayo is a casual “See you later!” I still have plenty of images from this pile of photo albums to share, and some of the more scenic ones were most likely shot in Korea. But next week I’ll be […]
In late August I made a quick overnight trip to Point Reyes; and while I didn’t have enough time to seriously explore everything I hoped to see I did get a look at the headlands and spend awhile at the Chimney Rock Trailhead. Even though it wasn’t the prime season for elephant seal watching — that happens between December and […]
On our most recent stay in Point Arena last month, I was eager to get out one morning and take a walk down the road to the pier. It wasn’t the first time I had visited the pier, but this time I arrived on foot and was able to look around at some of the details I missed before. It […]
The great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 may be history, but the cause of the quake — movement along the San Andreas Fault — still occurs all up and down the coast of Northern California. Sonoma County’s Hot Spot is only one of several faults along the San Andreas Fault Zone. I’ve found it nearly impossible to find much information […]
I don’t have any profound theme going on today — just a small and completely random selection of photos I’ve shot over the past seven years. Today they’re helping remind me how blessed I’ve been, able to visit these different spots and to have these memories to hold onto.
I’ve often heard it said that cats are especially attracted to people who dislike them, and that sure seems to be true around here. I wouldn’t say that the Big Guy hates cats, but he has absolutely no patience for them strolling around on top of our cars and using our yard for a litterbox. His resentful feelings didn’t stop […]
We never know what to expect on our trips to the coast, and this trip is looking pretty promising, judging by the first day or so. I finally got my wish to see some cows up close. They were fairly mellow, although I know enough to be cautious around animals of this size! And I’ve found a few other cool […]
Looking back through my images of the hiking trails in The Sea Ranch always makes me feel better about things. We spent a week there in late September this year, and if there’s anything I enjoy as much as being near the ocean, it has to be wandering through the redwoods and other trees of Northern California’s coast range.
I was out on the north fork of Folsom Lake near Salmon Falls a few days ago when I stumbled upon the scene of some unknown critter’s personal Squash Festival. The more time I spent looking around, the more pieces I noticed, and I couldn’t help feeling sorry for the gardener. Hopefully there’s still a few more goodies left in […]
