Peculiar Sight

Happy Birthday, Elder Sister! This photo was taken in my yard on March 15. This photo was taken in my yard on March 18. I live in Central California (I am a California artist, remember?) at an elevation of 1000 feet. One thousand, not 10 thousand. Three Rivers, California. How does this apply to art, […]

Exploring Lake Kaweah, Part two

On Chris LoCurto’s blog today is a post by me! Chris’s blog is about “leadership, finances and the occasional random thought”, which is where I fit in as a guest poster. Visit, leave a comment if you’re so inclined, and browse through his past year of really interesting posts! Here is the second half of […]

Exploring Lake Kaweah

Lake Kaweah is formed by Terminus Dam, about 10 miles below Three Rivers. When the lake is full, it reaches up into the lower end of town. When it is not full, there are lots of places to walk. The dam was built when I was a toddler, so I don’t remember anything prior to […]

Walk in the Park

Today that animal I am married to is turning 59. We did a stroll in The Park. Anything feels like a stroll after attempting Monarch Lake on the old “trail” last week. We stayed in the foothills, and almost wished for shorts and were annoyed by the face flies. Hard to believe it is January. […]

Big Fat Announcement

For a few months I’ve been dancing around the subject of a Very Large Project on the horizon. Today is the day to tell you all what it is. It isn’t a very well kept secret, just a non-published-on-this-blog secret. If you know me, you know I love to draw in pencil and that I […]

Dry December, continued

On the trail, the snow was doing this cantilevered melting thing around the edges. This chick wouldn’t have been eligible for Gideon’s army! (see Judges 7: 4-8 in the Bible) A little decorating project using found objects. Is that a hand knit scarf?? How festive! (and is this really December in Mineral King??) Snow in […]

Dry December

Because December has had no precipitation, we were able to drive to Mineral King this week. I’ll share the photos today and tomorrow. The same and yet not the same. Sigh. (See this) My request for pruning the dead branches on the cottonwoods that stab into my photos was ignored. A Cabela’s model and a […]

Behind a Locked Gate

Last week I got to spend a day in a place behind a locked gate. (It’s always Who You Know.) It was cold, and there was about 20 minutes of sunshine available in the middle of the day. I walked, enjoyed, and took photographs to share with you. You all deserve to share in the […]
