Memory Monday on a break
Memory Monday is on a break this week! See you soon with more images from the South American tour.
Throwback Thursday: Summer 2017
I’ve probably said this before, but my favorite feature of Google Photos is the highlights from previous years. Sometimes I’ll get a pleasant surprise when I see a picture I’ve completely forgotten about from a year ago, or three, five or even more. This time of year without fail I start contemplating ways to escape the valley heat — even […]
California palm
Out of all the types of trees found growing along the shores of Lake Natoma, nothing sticks out from the rest like the California palms. There aren’t really too many palm trees near the lake, but once you start noticing them, they make an impression! I first spotted this one way back in early 2015 as it sprouted from the […]
Memory Monday: A South American Tour… Waterfalls
Last Monday I shared a few images from Fresno High School’s 1968 yearbook; and while I certainly plan to feature more of the same in the future, I just couldn’t resist having a look at something completely different today. Late last month at the flea market I discovered a small photo album that I instantly fell in love with — […]

Memory Monday is on a break this week! See you soon with more photo memories.

The lake itself was nearly full, so it was a surprise to find the pond lower than we could ever remember seeing it. The photos I […]
Family memories
On this Easter Sunday, I planned to dig into my archives and share a few vintage images of my sisters and I posing with the spoils of our morning Easter Egg hunt — like this one: But of course, I waited until the last minute to start looking for the photo files. I’m certain I have them tucked away safely […]
Throwback Thursday: Brown’s Ravine 2019
I realize 2019 isn’t that long ago, but I’m sometimes surprised as I go back through my image files at the photos I’ve never used. Of course there are plenty of images that aren’t good enough to use (I have loads of those, and I’m sure I’m not the only one). But my pictures this week are ones that seem […]
Memory Monday: Hicks Album, Week 12
Easter is coming up very quickly now (a week from next Sunday, by the Western calendar) and the holiday means a lot of different things to different people. This week’s photos celebrate the rather more commercial side of things — but also a natural side: Springtime, with the earth coming back to life after a long winter’s sleep. I’ve tried […]
