My entry for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week. This topic is fairly self-explanatory. Let’s see how creative you can get with this topic. I’m looking forward to what you all decide to post. I just want you to have some fun with your photography.
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Needs to have the letter O anywhere in the word. All my images for today’s challenge are from my archives, except for the goose, which was taken on my walk yesterday morning. Let’s see how creative you can we can be on this challenge. Have fun with this week’s challenge.
Believe it or not, it’s been a full year since I began this series; you can find my first Memory Monday post here, sharing a family trip through Minnesota, South Dakota, and the Grand Tetons of Wyoming. Just as I was beginning to run out of steam and thinking about retiring the series, my mom managed to dig up a […]
I was inspired to share this episode of California’s Gold after seeing Rebel Girl’s post Wind Power on the Photogate blog. I can only imagine what it must feel like to stand at the top of one of these massive machines! It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the scale of the rotors, even after seeing them from this […]

I still can’t decide which version I like better.
Sacramento Delta adventures — 1998, 1999, and 2001 The Big Guy grew up fishing with his family, so it was only natural that some of our most enjoyable family vacations in recent years have been spent near (or sometimes on) local California waters. Even though his parents relocated to Texas several years ago, we try to make time at least […]
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the freeway sign pointing towards Mare Island was yet another of the familiar signs I saw along the road to San Francisco’s Bay Area, but I never really thought about what sort of place it was or what went on there until much later. In this episode of California’s Gold Huell tours the naval shipyard […]
As I walked down 7th Street in Sacramento, headed for the nearest Light Rail stop, my eye was caught by the vibrant colors on this building. The wall is only a small part of the former Hotel Marshall (opened in 1911 as the Hotel Clayton). Downtown Sacramento is changing — some of its older buildings are being demolished to make […]
