American River morning
Not a bad way to spend a warm weekend morning in early July.
WPC: All-Time Favorites
In the final edition of the Weekly Photo Challenge, Daily Post staff contributors share their favorite photos and invite you to do the same. All-Time Favorites — Trying to choose my favorite photo is nearly impossible, but I’ve chosen this image because I love the silhouette of the pigeons’ flight against the grey, overcast sky — and because it reminds me of how happy I felt in that moment, standing in the middle of the bridge, looking down into the Sacramento River and feeling a cool breeze on my face.
Flags or Banners
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Flags or Banners. Go through your photo archives and see what photos you have that fits the current week’s challenge, or better yet grab your camera and take a new photo! ENJOY and have FUN.

I’m fairly sure I’d heard the story from a tour guide at the historic Governor’s Mansion, but because I couldn’t cite a primary source for the information my instructor seemed to […]
Memory Monday, Week 55
February-March 1957 Two weeks ago I started the narrative of this road trip with a look at Washington D.C.; but the nation’s capital was actually my parents’ last stop before turning west toward home in California. So this week I’d like to go back to the point where my mom and my sister arrived in Chicago on the train and […]
