Gus and I spent some time out at Beals Point, near the Folsom Dam, one morning in early August of this year. It’s always fascinating to see what random items have been left behind or washed up on the shore when the lake water levels are low — assorted bits of trash along with a few surprises.
I’ve been out to Rattlesnake Bar a few times within the past month with my new companion, and I seriously enjoy introducing him for the first time to these places that are so familiar to me. Before the most recent round of storms hit, we went out to explore another section of shoreline, and we both found a few surprises. […]
My mission for last Sunday called for driving out to Denio’s swap meet in hope of discovering some sort of well-loved furniture piece for my all-too empty house; I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted, but it was a good excuse to get outside for a bit. Once I’d arrived and parked, I soon found myself wandering aimlessly among the […]
On this visit out to Denio’s swap meet in mid August, I didn’t shoot as many photos as I normally do, and I didn’t buy anything. But it did feel good to get out of the house and spend an hour or so wandering the property, checking out the wide range of colorful and sometimes strange items offered up.
I seriously can’t believe it’s already been six months since I was out at Denio’s, wandering among the often crazy collections of miscellaneous used items. When I was there last in April, I brought home a small photo album that was like a treasure from 1966. But these photos are not from that visit; these are images I shot back […]
I’m setting the Korean photo albums aside this week to share a look at a very different group of images. These are all black and white portraits, both formal and informal, that I’ve discovered while browsing the open-air flea market at Denio’s in Roseville over the past few years. A handful of these — like the well-dressed couple above — […]
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been eight months since I last made the drive out to Denio’s in Roseville! There were many, many weekends when I thought of going but never quite made it. Things can change a lot in that period of time, as vendors relocate to a different section of the grid, or perhaps even disappear completely. […]
During our visit in late May this year, extremely gusty winds prevented me from exploring the entire area of the Mendocino Headlands (at one point, the winds caused a local power outage that affected our rental cabin). But the sky was a beautiful blue, and it was impossible to stay away from the gorgeous coastal views. I managed to find […]
Here are more of my sightings from a recent Saturday at Denio’s Market in Roseville. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t live in a bigger house; I would be more seriously tempted to buy all the wonderful things on sale!
