Sun is shining
Today it’s raining again, but last Tuesday morning was a warm, sunny day. Luckily, I had the chance to get out and do some hiking near Lake Natoma. I ended up walking six miles!

Memory Monday, Week 62
Two weeks ago I began sharing some professionally shot vintage slides that form part of my mom’s collection. That initial set were all labeled as Wesco slides; but the remainder of images included in this box are labeled only with numbers — so I can only guess at their locations. I believe that the next two images may have something to do with a county fair in Southern California; they seem to be exhibits of Sunkist brand Oranges. The second photo includes the names Crafton Mutual Orchards in Mentone (Riverside County) and Allen Break & Son in Bryn Mawr (San Bernardino County). I’m guessing that the black horse depicted above may be Silkwood, a record-setting trotter which helped swell attendance at the early 1890s Orange County fairs. The good news is that I’ve finally ordered a new slide scanner, and I hope to be back next week with a new and improved appearance to my slides!

Sunset to Sunrise
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Sunset to Sunrise. This is a challenge is basically self-explanatory. Night photographers have fun with this challenge. For those who are not night photographers, I want to see those colorful sunrise and sunset moments. Let’s see how creative you can be on this challenge.
