Shadows on water

River wild
The Big Guy and I took a hike down to Negro Bar this afternoon, and this was the sight that greeted us: Apparently, the flood gates are open at Folsom Dam.
Gold Creek at Negro Bar State Park
A long view
A little over a week ago, I posted photos of a few people ignoring the trail closure signs following damage to the bike trail near Negro Bar. I’ve since learned from the great people at Friends of Lakes Folsom and Natoma (FOLFAN) that the slide area isn’t likely to be repaired right away. From their February newsletter: For now park management […]
Crawling or Flying
The theme this week for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is Crawling or Flying. Flying is pretty obvious anything from a bird, plane, balloon, a ball being thrown, etc. If I think of a baby crawling, they are using their arms and legs.

Sadly, back then I wasn’t much into photography — but I made up for that shortsightedness (slightly) by taking copious notes and keeping […]

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of February 3, 2017. This week, show us what being alone means to you. I was going through some old pictures when I found these images of Grizzly Island Wildlife Area, located in the Suisun Marsh in Solano County. California’s wetlands are always in danger of disappearing altogether, but this area […]

It was built over Gold Creek in 1915, with a length of 160 feet, and was apparently designed to last for roughly 50 years. These photos, unless otherwise noted, were shot in January 2005, when the bridge was still […]
