Sidewalk archaeology

I was strolling through the quiet neighborhoods of Roanoke, Texas, when I happened to notice some fallen leaves on the sidewalk. Except, these leaves didn’t rustle underfoot, because they were imprinted into the cement! At first I thought it was a decorative feature created on purpose, but I could only find these natural decorations under the trees on a short […]

Avery’s Pond — Then and Now

The first time I took my camera with me on the trek out to Avery’s Pond and Mormon Ravine at Rattlesnake Bar (Folsom Lake) was April 1, 2016. I had been there a few times back in the 1980s, but alas, I apparently never took pictures then and I can’t remember much details about those visits! I also regret that […]

Today I’ve managed to dig up a few images from previous years, going back to 2016, shot at various locations along the course of the canal between the […]

This was really one of the nicest coastal trips we’ve had, and I would be very happy to spend more time […]

Black Point Beach

Today I’m looking back at September 28, 2022, during another of our trips to the Sonoma and Mendocino coast. We were staying in a beautiful little house in Sea Ranch, up on Timber Ridge Road — no ocean view from there, but we were in the middle of a wonderful coastal redwood forest. And there were hiking trails that took […]

September at Eagle Lake

Oh, look — I discovered another bunch of images from last year that I had completely forgotten about! I shot all but one of these with my beloved Fujifilm camera while exploring around the west shoreline of Eagle Lake, in the small community of Spalding (Google seems to think it’s “Spaulding”). I would love to go back and see what […]

Memory Monday: March 2016

Looking back at some images from March seven years ago, documenting the change of the season from winter to spring in my area. I don’t believe I’ve shared these before — or at least not for a long time. I was finally starting to realize how much fun it was to photograph wildflowers and colorful blooms in people’s yards.
