A week ago I took part in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge themed Crawling or Flying; so when I noticed that this episode of California’s Gold had to do with things that crawl, I couldn’t resist sharing it! Join Huell and encounter the endangered kangaroo rat at Carrizo Plain Natural Area, considered the best example of the fragile ecosystem in the San […]
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of February 15, 2017. This week, share a photo that says “against the odds.” Maybe it’s a photo of an unlikely occurrence. Maybe it’s the photo itself that goes against the odds — a shot you never thought you’d get. Maybe it’s a photo of something you’re not sure you’ll be […]
I’m still within my first year of hanging out a hummingbird feeder, and I’m slowly learning the ins and outs. My first feeder was beautiful to look at — but I found the sugar water dripped continually onto the ground and left nothing for any birds that happened by.

I’ve never had opportunity to seriously explore the numerous small towns north of Fort Worth during our Christmas visits, but I’ve seen just enough to know I’d like to see more.

Standing in mud, water, or on dry land, these Chilean flamingos are the very picture of grace and beauty.

He circled once, then twice, always moving slowly, steadily, gracefully. Below him lay civilization: streets, buildings, and man. As the bird circled once more, a small […]
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Old and New. You can have old and new objects in the same photo. Or you can have at least one photo of a very old item and one photo of a very new item in your photo. What I am looking for is great contrast. Use your imagination if you want for this […]
While going through some old photos looking for images from Calaveras Big Trees State Park, I discovered this shot of Buster, out on Folsom Lake in the old Champion bass boat with the Big Guy. That alert focus on the largemouth bass tells you everything you need to know about Buster, and it comforts me to remember he truly had a […]
