On old Sutter Street
How many times have I trod this historic stretch of sidewalk without noticing these gorgeous lights? In Historic Folsom, history is everywhere — including hanging over your head.

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of June 28, 2017. For this week’s photo challenge, share a picture that symbolizes transitions, change, and the passing of time. I stumbled upon this construction site behind the Folsom Zoo a couple of weeks ago and was mystified. It seemed to be the beginnings of a bridge to nowhere in […]
The Adventure Continues… Under California
This episode of California’s Gold is another of my special favorites. I’ve been wishing to visit the Forestiere Gardens ever since watching this episode for the first time. Thus far, the closest I’ve gotten is pointing out the sign on Highway 99 as we drove past on our way home from visiting Riverside last December. I may not have made […]
Sutter and Riley

If I could just take off and head to the coast or the mountains, I’d be gone! Today the projected high temperature in my part of […]
Setting the table
The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Dishes, Pots, Pans, Silverware. I just need to see Dishes, silverware or pots and pans. The everyday items we use for cooking and eating. See how creative you can get on this challenge. Have fun with this challenge. I took myself on a mini scavenger hunt last week in […]
Petting Zebu
If you’re stuck in a petting zoo, you may as well make the most out of all that human attention, right? This zebu seems determined to get a neck massage and to make it last as long as possible.
WPC: Order
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of June 7, 2017. Rows, stacks, columns: this week, share an image that sends chaos packing (neatly). There are some places where a strict sense of order will always reign supreme!
