I can’t believe this is my very first time watching this episode of California’s Gold! It’s absolutely packed with beautiful scenery as well as history — of the railroad, of the Chinese who helped build it, and even a bit of musical history. The central coast of California has some stunning scenery, and I haven’t seen nearly enough of it. […]
The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Dishes, Pots, Pans, Silverware. I just need to see Dishes, silverware or pots and pans. The everyday items we use for cooking and eating.

The Rolls Royce shown above was parked near the Royal London Wax Museum (which sadly, I just learned, was closed in September 2010); we didn’t pay to go inside, but I was entranced by the figure of […]
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of February 8, 2017. This week, hunt for shadows and incorporate them into your shot. The shadow can be the focal point of the image, or simply a detail that adds texture and makes the scene a bit more dynamic. Shadows are something I normally try to avoid when I’m shooting […]
Trees of Mystery was absolutely one of my family’s favorite attractions when I was growing up, and even before I was born — see my previous posts, Memory Monday, Week 9 and Memory Monday, Week 10.
