Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Signs – traffic, directional, signs along the roads or on buildings. Signs are everywhere we look. From big fancy signs to small handwritten signs.

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of July 8, 2016. For this week’s challenge, take a moment to look up. Whether it’s the fan above your head at work, your bedroom ceiling, or the night sky, what do you see? Is it familiar? Or does it show you a new perspective on your surroundings? As I’ve mentioned (many […]
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of June 24, 2016. This week, share an image of partners. A pair, a trio, a sextet; people, buildings, plants — whatever you choose to shoot, give us subjects that are in tune with one another. They were partners from the very beginning… … all the way to the end.
Every now and then it strikes me all over again how much I love living in this particular lovely corner of the world, and how very lucky I am to be able to get outdoors nearly every day and enjoy it. This proud little sparrow and I just can’t help singing the praises of living near Lake Natoma!

This post was inspired by Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for last week. I’m not entering my post in the challenge because I couldn’t find a way to make the photo interesting! But I wanted to share the story behind the object I chose. When I take my walks down to the lake in the mornings – sometimes very early, before […]
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Happy Place.” I often have a hard time dragging myself out of bed early in the morning, or pulling myself together enough to leave the house. But man, is it worth it! I can get lucky enough to watch the sun come up, walk through a neighborhood that’s not yet awake. And I get the dirt trails mostly to myself. There’s something so special about walking through a tunnel of old oak, pine, and redwood trees, or a maze of berry bushes and overgrown grapevines. The cool morning air, the twittering of birds, the honking of geese passing overhead, the occasional sight of a deer or two. It’s almost impossible for me to resist an unexplored trail, one that curves around a bend and leads off to who-knows-where. When I reach a fork in the road, my only question is, “Which one shall I explore first?” And if the path takes me over an old wooden bridge, that’s even better! Off I go… I’ll see you when I get back!
