A while ago I posted about the Apartment trail at the north end of the Orangevale Palisades. On the southern end of the bluffs is another trail that takes us down to Lake Natoma at Mississippi Bar. We’ve come to call this path the Snake trail because of the small rattlesnake we encountered there one summer day, many years ago. […]
I don’t post much about knitting these days, although when I first started my blog that was one of my main topics. I’m making an exception today. Noro Silk Garden is known as a “rustic” yarn.

October 1996 — Penstock Bridge, Wenatchee River (I’ve shared some of these images before, but this time I scanned them, and I’m much happier with their quality now.)

This post will cover two remaining parts of the construction — the stairs leading down from street level and the paving of the overlook near the shore. Even though I didn’t take my photos by an organized schedule, […]
