Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: April 23, 2017 We’ll soon be off to our annual family fishing trip at Clear Lake, so I thought a few odd ball pictures from our 2016 trip might be appropriate.
Welcome sight in high weeds
Yes, I knew it had rained the night before; but I gambled that the mud wouldn’t be too thick and chose to wear my sneakers instead of my hiking boots on my morning hike. And I managed to keep my feet reasonably dry — until I arrived at this dew-soaked portion of the trail. The shortest weeds reached up to […]
WPC: Earth
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of April 19, 2017. Earth Day is near! This week, let’s celebrate this planet on which we live. No matter how thick the coating of asphalt we may put down, the truth is we still have very little control over the earth that we live on. At any moment, despite our […]
Autumn – Metal
The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Autumn — Metal. You can take photos of anything that relates to the season of Autumn or metal. For metal I would like to see its strength and beauty. Have fun with this challenge. Seen while hiking in September and October: Seen at the flea market/auction:
Memory Monday, Week 22
This week I thought I’d feature a few faces rather than just places. I’ll start back in 1959, on the trip my parents and two older sisters took through South Dakota (I previously posted about that trip here), and a couple of very special photo opportunities with the locals at Mt. Rushmore and Hill City. I have some great memories of […]
Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge, April 16, 2017 Here’s an odd one for you, and a bit of mystery. As I was walking through my neighborhood one summer morning, I spotted a small bell hanging from under the rear end of a car parked in a driveway. I chuckled when I snapped the photo last August; but when I […]
WPC: Surprise!
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of April 12, 2017. Much of photography is about discovery, and with discovery may come a surprise. I was hiking along a deserted dirt road at 6:30 in the morning and eyeing the blackberry bushes on my right, hoping to spot a sweet snack or two. I just happened to raise my glance […]
Memory Monday, Week 21
The last half of slide wheel number 6 took me back in time, from the mid 1970s straight to 1962, when I went camping with my family at Patrick’s Point State Park, on California’s far north coast. I was only about a year old on this trip; we did return there when I was a bit older, and I have […]
A classic beauty
She could use some body work and a new paint job, but this 1951 Mercury was just too good to pass up when I spotted her at the auction in Roseville. I may never cruise down the street in this classic beauty, but she’s currently the pride of my car collection!
