It’s a jungle out there
Leaves or Trees
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Leaves or Trees. This is a challenge is basically self-explanatory. Any tree or leaf, alive or man made. Have fun. Let’s see how creative you can we can be on this challenge.
Memory Monday, Week 60
This week I’ll finish out the 1958 camping trip my family took through Northern California, Oregon, and Washington State. They visited the redwoods and the Shasta-Trinity National Forest near the towns of Big Bar and Weaverville, then moved on to Tumalo State Park in central Oregon. Next they camped near the beach at Humbug Mountain State Park, and finally headed […]
Paths to memory

The park sits alongside the American River and contains nearly 400 acres of protected land in the middle of suburban […]

I certainly remember hearing all the arguments over preserving the habitat for spotted owls and similar species a few years back. But the old-growth redwood trees themselves are such a special treasure, and California would never be the same if we allowed them to disappear. Join […]
