Catlandia
The longer I live here, the more convinced I am that the cats have become our new landlords.
Victorian envy
I’ve long been interested in 19th century history — a quick look at my bookshelves and decor make that pretty clear. Still, I’ve never been a serious decorator; and while I enjoy adding a few decorative touches suggestive of that era to my personal space, it takes only a brief stay in an authentic old house to remind me — […]

The Adventure Continues… Road Trip: Ferndale
I’ve never been to Ferndale but seeing the cows grazing happily in the fields and the first glimpse of the town’s main street at the beginning of this one-hour episode, I was strongly reminded of Mendocino County and the villages of Point Arena and Fort Bragg. Of course Ferndale is famous for its historic buildings — and you may recall […]
Memory Monday: Somewhere in Korea

In that case, I’m going mostly […]

In previous posts I’ve talked about the Korean Folk Village located in the suburbs of Seoul; but this week I discovered another such village (and there are doubtless still others, of course), the Oeam Folk Village. This one can be found […]
Bay view
The Lyon Street Steps turned out to be one of my favorite stops during my trip to San Francisco last August.

It’s not just the panorama of San Francisco Bay; there’s also the landscaped garden with all […]
Train, trolley, and bus, Part 2
Today I’m concluding the collection I started on Tuesday showing photos shot as I traveled to and from San Francisco on Amtrak and around the city on public transportation. They include images from my outing to the Lyon Street Steps. The first part of my trip was by cable car; I normally avoid riding the cable cars because they’re usually […]
