Cold
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Cold.
Memory Monday, Week 93
It was October 1996 when I first visited this stretch of the American River with the Big Guy. We rode across a small pedestrian bridge (officially named Jim’s Bridge as of 1989) on our bikes to explore the north bank, looking for promising fishing spots along Sacramento Bar. I had seen this particular bridge many times but had never set […]
Second-hand band
You don’t have to look very hard in the vicinity of Folsom’s historic Sutter Street to find quite a lot of beautiful musical instruments hoping for a second (or third, or fourth?) chance at life. Seeing them makes me wish I was a musician and could rescue every one of these treasures. Here are just a few of the instruments […]
Take my advice!
Single father
We don’t normally find buskers in the parking lot of our local Trader Joe’s. I don’t know if he was truly a single father , but he could definitely play that accordian!

We’ve fished from the shore and […]
Memory Monday, Week 91
I’m calling this week’s batch of images “Water Colors.” All but two were shot by me; I included those two, dating sometime around 1983, because they look like the sort of place I would love to go hiking. Originally I believed the location was the American River Canyon below Auburn, but on further inspection I decided it’s more likely somewhere […]
Memory Monday, Week 90
The best thing about our pets is how happy they make us feel, and how good we feel when we know they’re happy. This week I’ve got a very small selection of animal images — because there have been so many wonderful animals in our lives, and some of them live on only in memory, not in photographs.
“Virile to risk and find…”
Last January I shared with you an episode of California’s Golden Parks in which Huell visited Donner Memorial State Park; at the time I wanted very badly to include the photos I’d taken of the memorial statue, but I couldn’t locate them. Well, better late than never, right? These photos were shot in July 2006; but it was the end […]
