Here is the last of my batch of photos from late July 2006, when the Big Guy took me along on his quest for a good bow hunting spot. I had never stopped to explore this area, not far from Interstate 80, and I honestly didn’t see a whole lot of it even on this day. But there was quite […]
I was going to share a few more images of the Castle Peak area from July 2006, but for whatever reason I can’t get them to load properly. So I’ll just go with the ones that did get through and save the rest for another day. Probably all for the best anyway!
This week I’ve re-scanned some prints from 1987 (and one from 1993) which I shot at the Sonoma coast. I shared some of them before, back in June 2017, but I always enjoy looking back over these memories and the adventures I shared with the Big Guy and two very wonderful dog companions. Allow me to quote from that earlier […]
More images from our visit to Castle Peak on July 22, 2006.
For the last few months of his life in 1993, our Zack (also called Zeno) was an only dog. He had a tough time getting used to the loss of Phoebe, the pitbull who was like a mother to him. Despite his lifelong health problems, we always took Zack on outdoor adventures, and he would follow the Big Guy everywhere, […]
Doran is a required stop on every coastal trip, the spot where we gather ghost shrimp to use as live bait. We never know exactly what the tide situation will be until we arrive — more than once we’ve waded in knee-deep water as we collected the allowed number of pale pink shrimp. The tide sat just right on this […]
This week I have a handful of slide images from December 1981 that I’ve hesitated to share for awhile. Although I was present for at least some of them, my memories are very vague, and I wish I could remember more details. I actually kept a small journal but it provides only sparse information. My family was spending Christmas and […]
Whenever I take a deep dive into my photo archives in the search for any specific item, I usually end up stumbling across other images long forgotten. That was how I came across these pictures which I shot back in July 2006. I was using my new Kodak EasyShare Z7590, a compact little point-and-shoot with 10x optical zoom, and the […]
Today I’ve been so busy I still haven’t checked to see the groundhog’s weather prediction for the next six weeks — although locally we’ve been alternating between sunshine and rain. I did have a small surprise when I realized it was seven years ago today that I had my first and only experience with indoor skydiving at iFly Sacramento. I’m […]
