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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We found lots of rocks and boulders, lots of moss and lichen, lots of climbing and descending along the sides of the hills overlooking Folsom’s dry lake bed in February 2021. I shot all these images with my small point-and-shoot Fujifilm camera as I explored the trails that rise and fall, curve, and crisscross each other. It was all too […]
We knew we were in for some rain when we left home on Monday and headed for the Mendocino coast; but we didn’t realize we had an “atmospheric river” bearing down on us. Earlier storms had already left the coastal areas saturated, and our first clue was the detour on the Valley Ford Road west of Petaluma due to flooding […]
You may have noticed I’ve been showing you a lot of photos from the Sterling Pointe area of Folsom Lake. Even though I haven’t been out there in several months, I have so many pictures from previous visits that they just keep turning up. I think this may be the last for awhile, but no promises! The reason why I […]
The Lupine Shores camping area sits on the tip of a peninsula at the former site of Lake Berryessa’s Steele Canyon Resort. We visited here about a week ago and found the camping grounds closed for the winter. But in April 2024 it was open, and while the camp sites were still vacant, I found so many great places to […]
