Under the dome
The outside of the California State Capitol building is impressive, but the inside is pretty cool too. I was standing on the second floor beneath the rotunda when I took these pictures.
Fun at Shady Oaks
The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Letter F – Topic is Fun or Flowers. To me flowers are all about fun. But fun is not limited. Have fun with this week’s challenge. Since I just posted a bunch of flower images a couple of days ago, I decided to focus on the fun part of this […]

So every year — usually from late August through October — our normal schedule begins to revolve heavily around salmon fishing. I was […]
