Grand view
A temple of peace
More phone images from my trip to Muir Woods National Monument in September 2021.
More from Sterling Pointe
Last night I finally caught up on recording one of my four photo log books — one for each camera — which are the best way I’ve found to keep track of my photos and where/when I used them on the blog. Unfortunately, I still have a long way to go with the other three, having neglected to write anything […]
Lake is calling
My plans to head back out to Folsom Lake during our somewhat warmer weather keep getting postponed for one reason or another. Last week the Big Guy was talking about returning to Sterling Pointe — but we both decided we weren’t quite ready to tackle that big climb back up to the parking lot and needed to get into better […]
I’m lichen it
I didn’t hike terribly far the other day when we went out to the south fork of the American River near Salmon Falls. I didn’t even get down to the water; but it was such a beautiful spring-like day and there were so many great things to look at that it was impossible to get bored. And I’m always irresistibly drawn to the intricate shapes of the lichen and moss — this time of year, they seem to be all over the rocks and boulders and covering many of the bushes and trees. Macro photography opportunies are everywhere!
More Mendocino
This morning I realized that creating posts on my phone while away from my computer lately has led me to accidentally use the same photos more than once since Christmas. I guess my remark yesterday about still having images to share is really true — especially if I reuse the same ones over and over! So even though it’s taken […]
Coastal landscapes
I’ve visited the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands a few times now, entering from both the north and south gates, but I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface in exploring this amazing place. I feel lucky to have found it, and I’m grateful that the land was made available to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management so that people like […]
In trust
Some scenes from my hike at the south end of the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands, Mendocino County, in September 2021.
Marin memories
This morning I realized that I made a silly mistake when I published yesterday’s post. I had intended to save the Lake Tahoe photos for next Monday — which explains my remark about finishing out the year! It’s not too important, but I did feel dumb; and in next week’s Memory Monday post you’ll see the pictures of my niece […]
