Northern California has seen plenty of stormy weather thus far this winter — lashing rain, roaring winds, and overnight freeze warnings. Today the sun is shining, so as I try to take advantage of the warmer temperatures and get outdoors, here’s a quick look back at some recent storm-related images from my neighborhood.
The longer I live here, the more convinced I am that the cats have become our new landlords.
of; there are neighbors nearby who have been without power for nearly seven days now, thanks to broken power poles still waiting to be repaired. Thus far (knock wood) we’ve only lost power one time, for a few hours in the middle of the night. Our county parks are temporarily closed due to the high river levels and storm damage. […]
I had every intention of taking part in the local First Day Hike scheduled for 8 A.M. last Sunday morning. The weather was cooperative; stormy New Year’s Eve gave way to a sunny, if chilly, New Year’s Day. I had managed to beat back a minor head cold, and the Big Guy was up early, heading out to Folsom Lake […]

I wouldn’t say that the Big Guy hates cats, but he has absolutely no patience for them strolling around on top of our cars and using our yard for a litterbox. His resentful feelings didn’t stop […]

My neighbor’s beautiful roses are a perfect example. I nearly didn’t bother trying to shoot them with my phone camera because it was […]
I was out on the north fork of Folsom Lake near Salmon Falls a few days ago when I stumbled upon the scene of some unknown critter’s personal Squash Festival. The more time I spent looking around, the more pieces I noticed, and I couldn’t help feeling sorry for the gardener. Hopefully there’s still a few more goodies left in […]
Here are some previously overlooked images I shot in and around Lake Natoma and Black Miner’s Bar (previously Negro Bar) between the 13th and 30th of September, 2016.
