My entry for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week.
The Adventure Continues… Barn Photographer
Since last week I shared the Forest Photographer episode, I thought I may as well follow up this week with a Barn Photographer, again from the Visiting series. From watching TV with the Big Guy, I’ve learned about “barn finds” — rare, vintage cars buried under years of dust and often forgotten, just waiting to be re-discovered and brought back […]

The Adventure Continues… Forest Photographer
This week, I’m taking a look at another one of Huell’s TV series, Visiting. Most of these episodes are 30-minute segments focusing on interesting people, places, and businesses in Southern California. I’ve never seen any of these episodes, so I’m looking forward to discovering them right along with you! I was especially drawn to this 1997 episode featuring Roy Murphy, […]

There’s always so many different groups represented and […]
Long view

I like […]
The Adventure Continues… Our State’s Front Yard
I live a relatively short 30 miles from Capitol Park in Sacramento, but I have to admit I’ve never properly explored all it has to offer. I did spend a few hours exploring this beautiful park back in September 2017, but I still managed to see merely a small part of it — and that was made very clear to […]
Memory Monday slide redux, Week 3
This week I thought I’d share a few family pictures; some of these I’ve shared before, but I think they look better this time around! I’ve arranged them in more or less chronological order to show some of the changes we’ve gone through over the years.
