Tender Moments
My entry for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week.
Memory Monday, Week 99
I grew up less than 8 miles from the shores of Lake Natoma — and yet I had no idea that Lake Natoma even existed until I was an adult! The Big Guy, on the other hand, grew up with the lake almost literally in his front yard and spent much of his time playing and fishing there. The longer I […]
The Adventure Continues… Bassett Hound Picnic
I haven’t been posting much the past week; first I was out of town for Christmas, and when I arrived home I promptly came down with a head cold. Thankfully it wasn’t the flu, but I haven’t felt like doing much of anything, so today’s irresistible episode of California’s Gold is like a bit of comfort food for anyone else […]
Thank you for your service, sir!
This gentleman was very nice and allowed me to photograph him with his two beautiful service dogs Saturday morning on Sutter Street. It wasn’t until I got home and looked at the photo that I realized he’s a U.S. Navy veteran. I wish I had taken a little more time to chat with him and to thank him for his service — as well as for his work with these gorgeous service dogs. I’m sure he probably has a lot of great stories to tell!
Memory Monday, Week 92
My photo albums probably contain more pictures of fishing trips and fish caught over the years than of any other subject. Our fishing outings have included trips to the ocean, Folsom Lake, Clear Lake, Berryessa, Lake Oroville, the Delta, Lake Natoma, and plenty of other bodies of water, large and small, in Northern California. We’ve fished from the shore and […]
The Adventure Continues… Tales from the Golden Empire
The blog archive has no “blurb” to go along with this week’s episode of California’s Gold, so I really had no idea what to expect when I started watching it. I’ll admit I know very little about Kern County and have only passed through on my way to and from Los Angeles — but I guess I should have known […]
Memory Monday, Week 90
The best thing about our pets is how happy they make us feel, and how good we feel when we know they’re happy. This week I’ve got a very small selection of animal images — because there have been so many wonderful animals in our lives, and some of them live on only in memory, not in photographs.
Tongues and Tails
My entry for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week.
Memory Monday, Week 88
I mentioned last Monday that I was having a hard time grouping my newly found images into themes. This next bunch focuses on my family and some of the changes we’ve gone through. I really like the photo above because we included our dogs (and my dog, Phoebe, is sitting on my foot). Next week I’ll have a few […]
