The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Musical Chairs. Your photos this week can have anything to do with Music or Chairs. I would like to see at least one photo of anything regarding music and one chair. Just make sure that music and chairs are the main subject of your photo. Chairs in the Georgia Northern private rail […]
(Click to enlarge.) From 1909 until 1967, the California State Fair grounds were located at Stockton Boulevard and Broadway in south Sacramento; the State Fair was held there annually except for 1942 through 1947, when the army occupied the fairgrounds due to the war.

Las summer I started going through my dad’s old collection of color slides and scanning them to my computer — and cleaning them up as best I can.

A few more images from San Antonio de las Minas, near Ensenada, Mexico. The next slides were labeled “Loma Linda church.” And here my dad and another man are talking to someone he identified as Amador Roberte, possibly the pastor of the church they were visiting.
Recently one of my fellow bloggers, MickETalbot, shared an image on his blog of one rock perched precariously atop another and this comment: Apart from my family I don’t personally know of anybody else who plays at rock balancing. None of them, or myself, have managed 3 high, still trying though. I live near and hike a lot in areas with […]
