Today I thought I would share a few images that I managed to overlook from the past year or so. Every now and then I’ll upload an image to my Media Library and then forget to insert it into my blog post, and that’s the case with the first three photos. I especially love the view of the Mendocino coast […]
This hour-long episode of California’s Gold, most likely first aired in 2007, takes a close look at one of California’s most iconic signs. Huell once again takes us where the general public is not allowed to go — although there are public hiking trails to the top of Mount Lee, where you can look over the back of the sign. […]
My last group of pictures from our overnight stop in Flagstaff last June includes images from late afternoon on the forest path as well as a couple of views of the area which I shot the next morning. The scene outside our hotel room balcony was so welcoming that it was extremely tempting to stay over another night! But we […]
When I took my camera and started out on the trail at our hotel in Flagstaff, Arizona, the last thing on my mind was taking advantage of the afternoon golden hour. All I wanted was to stretch my legs and decompress from two long days of driving! It was early June and the southwest monsoon season had yet to start; […]
I have only a handful of pictures shot with my phone inside the gift shop, which is fairly small but absolutely packed with surprising rock and mineral samples in just about every color of the rainbow. I didn’t want to linger too long without buying something — but making up my mind was a serious challenge! I also appreciated the […]
Here is the last batch of images from my visit to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden in Fort Bragg last October. I’m still hoping to return and check out the garden during the springtime for a completely different experience!
I’ll admit I don’t know all that much about the High Plains of Texas, but after making six trips through Amarillo and along U.S. Route 287 to the Fort Worth area, I’ve become somewhat familiar with the tiny towns along the way. It’s actually sort of amazing that such a seemingly flat, boring landscape can encompass so much incredible history; […]
Here are a few more images from my walk along the nature trail at the Little America Hotel in Flagstaff, Arizona, last June. I was quite happy to have the path mostly to myself (the Big Guy had chosen to ignore the trail and set off on his own, cross country), and the clouds and cooler late afternoon temperatures were […]
I had managed to cover the looping half-mile Main Trail at the Petrified Forest near Calistoga, California. It was nearly time to leave, but when you find yourself in such beautiful surroundings, it can be difficult to drag yourself away! But as I approached the main building and the entrance gate once more, this amazing place still had one or […]
