Last Saturday night I walked over to the bluffs that overlook Lake Natoma and the city of Folsom, and I waited for the full moon to rise. I knew with my small hand-held camera I’d have trouble getting clear images. I didn’t care — I had to at least try. It was chilly, but I was alone in the dark […]
Wednesday: Friday:
The Big Guy and I took a hike down to Negro Bar this afternoon, and this was the sight that greeted us: Apparently, the flood gates are open at Folsom Dam.
A little over a week ago, I posted photos of a few people ignoring the trail closure signs following damage to the bike trail near Negro Bar. I’ve since learned from the great people at Friends of Lakes Folsom and Natoma (FOLFAN) that the slide area isn’t likely to be repaired right away. From their February newsletter: For now park management […]
The theme this week for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is Crawling or Flying. Flying is pretty obvious anything from a bird, plane, balloon, a ball being thrown, etc. If I think of a baby crawling, they are using their arms and legs. So I would extend this to mean any 4 legged animal. Crawling can even mean slow moving so […]

Where outer could be anything sitting outside of something or outdoors. Have fun and see what you can come up with. I think with all of our creativity, we can come […]
I’m going to blame our recent series of storms for the fact I haven’t been venturing out for my usual morning hikes lately. So I haven’t yet had a first-hand view of the big rock and mud slide that closed the bike trail near Negro Bar four days ago. (Yesterday the Big Guy reported the trail was still completely blocked.) It wasn’t […]
High in the heavens a bird circled slowly, as if looking for the perfect landing spot. The wind carried him gently, as his wings moved in a steady rhythm, then stilled as he glided. He circled once, then twice, always moving slowly, steadily, gracefully. Below him lay civilization: streets, buildings, and man. As the bird circled once more, a small […]
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Duck Duck Goose: Your photos this week can have anything to do with ducks or geese. They are birds, so I will let in anything bird as well. There’s no shortage of ducks and geese around here, from the wild Canada geese who stop by on their annual migration (and […]
