Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge — Odds and Ends
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: June 18, 2017
I believe I can fly
I carried my camera on a 5-mile hike the other morning and hadn’t seen anything I felt like shooting. It seemed like one of those dull summer days. Then, just as I was almost home, I came upon this guy standing in the weeds next to the Negro Bar parking lot, jumping up and down and flapping his wings. He […]
Eagle eyes
About a month ago I posted a couple of photos which I took while hiking the Rollingwood Bluffs. A pair of bald eagles chose to build a nest in one of the trees above Lake Natoma, and it’s sort of a big deal around here. This is in an area where I frequently walk, so I’ve actually had one or two […]
Sunny days
We are about to enter a big heat wave, so any walking I’m doing will be early in the morning. Not too many people about — which is nice — but still plenty of bright, cheerful flowers to keep me company. Can’t really complain about that.

See how creative you can get on this challenge. Have fun with this challenge. I took myself on a mini scavenger hunt last week in […]
Persian silk tree
I know them as mimosa trees, and they spread and grow like weeds in this area. We’ve been fighting to keep them out of our back yard, especially since one fell over a few years ago, knocking down part of our fence and damaging the roof of our garage. Currently, neighbors on both sides have multiple trees that have sprung […]
Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge — Howe Scale
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: June 11, 2017 Nearly every time I go out to Denio’s in Roseville I’m drawn to a corner in one building with a row of rusted old farm and industrial implements. I have no idea what most of them are or what they might be worth, if anything. And maybe I’ve watched too many episodes […]
Petting Zebu
If you’re stuck in a petting zoo, you may as well make the most out of all that human attention, right? This zebu seems determined to get a neck massage and to make it last as long as possible.
