We found lots of rocks and boulders, lots of moss and lichen, lots of climbing and descending along the sides of the hills overlooking Folsom’s dry lake bed in February 2021. I shot all these images with my small point-and-shoot Fujifilm camera as I explored the trails that rise and fall, curve, and crisscross each other. It was all too […]
January 6, 2021, was not a good day for the U.S.; but we knew nothing about the events occurring as we happily hiked from the trailhead at Sterling Pointe on Folsom’s north fork that morning. Parking is free and plentiful, with room for both cars and horse trailers. The trails can be a bit confusing, but in general if you […]
I’ve stopped at the small Moat Creek parking area a number of times now, always to follow the short path to the shore. The site is just a bit south of the town of Point Arena, and the beach is popular with surfers (high tide) and with tide pool explorers (low tide). On this visit, I decided to check out […]

We took a short trip back out to Folsom Lake this morning — a last chance to get outdoors ahead of a big storm that should be hitting our area before long. Though the skies were blue and cloudless as the day began, it wasn’t long before grey took over; and while the south wind wasn’t gusting too strongly yet, […]
