Last Saturday night I walked over to the bluffs that overlook Lake Natoma and the city of Folsom, and I waited for the full moon to rise. I knew with my small hand-held camera I’d have trouble getting clear images. I didn’t care — I had to at least try. It was chilly, but I was alone in the dark […]
June 1978 — We spent a couple of days in the area around Leavenworth, Washington — this was where my mom spent the happiest part of her childhood.
