Scenes from the city
San Francisco, August 2023
San Francisco, August 2023
It’s not the type of terrain I normally fall in love with, but just look at the beautiful sagebrush hills and plains near Lassen County’s Eagle Lake! This is California’s second largest natural lake, and although the lake is low right now, I saw butterflies everywhere I looked. Cattle were bawling from somewhere across the fields. A cool breeze kept […]
Spending the past week up in the mountains of Lassen County got me remembering some long-ago camping trips to similar spots a bit further south, near Frenchman Reservoir in Plumas County, back in the 1980s. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find any photos from those trips, so instead I went digging into my photo album and found these prints, from […]
The Big Guy stumbled upon this scenic spot while out scouting around for deer (without much luck), and he just knew he had to take me up there to see the view. I’m very glad that he did!

I think we were very lucky — it was still fairly early in the morning when we arrived, and in order to find the view, […]
My first five images today are from our family slide collection, shot in approximately 1971 and shared previously back in January 2018. The remainder are prints showing Fort Bragg’s Noyo Harbor in 1967. My sister was kind enough to mail them to me awhile back, and I kept forgetting to publish them, until now!
Whenever we head over to Clear Lake, our normal route of travel is via Interstate 5 to Williams, then east on Highway 20. But driving home a few years ago I decided to explore a less direct option — Highway 16, which splits off from Highway 20 to wind alongside Bear and Cache creeks and through the Capay Valley before […]
It was around this time last summer that I took a day trip with the Big Guy up to Lake Almanor, with a brief stop in the tiny town of Chester. I shot a few photos, but I was honestly so traumatized at seeing the devastation from the 2021 Dixie Fire that I never shared many of my images. Lately […]
