Blue
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Blue.
Any number of things
Last Thursday, Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge featured anything with numbers on it. I’d already posted my black and white images for the challenge, but I knew I might find plenty of numbers as I wandered around Denio’s market in Roseville on Saturday.

The Adventure Continues… Bodie
Since this episode of California’s Gold was filmed in 1992, the Bodie State Historic Park has only grown in popularity. There are now about 100 structures still standing, and the high desert location makes it a favorite for winter and nighttime photography.
