Scenes from the Garden
I always enjoy looking back at my visits to the Botanical Garden in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The garden is large enough that I’m never sure if I’ve missed something; and since the only time I manage to get there is during August, I can only imagine what it must be like during the springtime. These images are from […]
The abandoned, Part 2
My limited series continues with some images from what I’m calling the beach house — or perhaps houses. They appear to be two separate houses sitting side by side, but according to Google there is only one street address. I found them on what I believe is state park property, perched above Manchester Beach and roughly half a mile west […]

There are times when I upload images to use in blog posts but then forget to use them. So today I’m sharing a few of these photos, going back to 2018.
The Adventure Continues… Lopez-Hill House
A little over a year ago I featured a one-hour episode of California’s Gold in which Huell visited the beautiful Tejon Ranch in the Tehachapi Mountains.

You may recall that back in early January I mentioned […]
Folsom Lake Narrows
Here are a few more Fujifilm pictures from February 2021; these were shot just south of the Horseshoe Bar area in Folsom’s north fork. I never really get tired of discovering all the things usually hidden underwater. There are foundations from long-vanished buildings, mysterious broken fragments, and also the type of “structure” — trees, boulders, and ledges — that attracts […]

Overlooking the sea
My post of last Thursday should rightly have been titled “Between the storms,” since we had one more day of steady rainfall before the sun finally managed to come out. It wasn’t until Friday morning that we were able to get out and start exploring; and while the temperatures were a bit on the chilly side — mostly thanks to […]
