Happy
The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Happy. I find taking photos of happy moments are fun to capture. Let’s see how creative you can be on for this week’s challenge.
The Adventure Continues… Joshua Tree
In California we’re lucky to have not only magnificent Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) but also the Yucca brevifolia, a desert survivor that inspired the Mormon settlers of the 1800s to name them after the Biblical Joshua. I’m familiar with the Joshua tree mostly from the U2 album of the same name (released in 1987), and I have to admit I’ve […]
Bikes of all kinds
My entry for Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week. As long as it has two wheels or has two wheels with the training wheels. You can photograph any kind of bike or bike accessory, such as helmets, gloves, etc. Let’s see how creative you can get.
WPC: Story
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of March 7, 2018. For this week’s challenge, do some visual storytelling with your photography. I didn’t stick around to read the final version of the sign — maybe “Happy Independence Day” since this was near the end of June?… although it doesn’t look like she has nearly enough letters for […]
Memory Monday, Week 60
This week I’ll finish out the 1958 camping trip my family took through Northern California, Oregon, and Washington State.

Next they camped near the beach at Humbug Mountain State Park, and finally headed […]

Bryant In march winter is holding back and spring is pulling forward. Something holds and something pulls inside of us too — Jean Hersey It was one of those March […]
The Adventure Continues… Sturgeon’s Mill
If you’d like to see Huell at his most excited, here’s your chance! This episode of California’s Gold highlights another place I would love to experience for myself — especially since it’s located not far from our Northern California coast fishing spots; it’s just up the (very winding) road from Fort Ross. The drawback is that the lumbermill only operates a […]
Memory Monday, Week 59
This week I’m returning to Memory Monday with a small collection of slides from 1958 that my mom recently found. The images are from a camping trip my family took (before I was born) up through Northern California, Oregon, and Washington. I’ll start with the pictures from Deception Pass State Park, located on the north point of Whidbey Island in […]
WPC: A Face in the Crowd
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of February 21, 2018. For this week’s photo challenge, try your hand at a different type of portrait… Explore the use of anonymity to express both that which is common to all of us and the uniqueness that stands out even when the most obvious parts of us are hidden. Just as […]
