Oh No! The iconic valley oak on Kaweah River Drive fell over! Lots of firewood in that dude. A number of years ago when we still had a newspaper made out of paper (now we don’t even have an online paper), someone wrote an angry letter to the editor after Southern California Edison pruned the […]
Looking Back at February
Early-ish March isn’t that much different from late February. On an early morning walk, I just wanted to stop time. This house always grabs my attention, with its quiet simple beauty. As I walked, I kept smelling something that I couldn’t identify. It was a good smell, and one that I hadn’t noticed before. It […]

Today we will have a few more quiet photos. Tomorrow I will put my work face back on, pick up my pencils, and soldier onward.

I’m tired of friends’ fathers and husbands dying. So, today we are just going to quietly enjoy a few photos. To be continued tomorrow.

Looking Out My Windows in February
Mental Meanderings
A dear friend told me that she really enjoys my blog posts when I write about thoughts. Here, this is what she said: Maybe it’s because I’m a worker of words, but I really enjoy your entries that describe your central valley world, your life in it, and your feelings. The reader responses you receive […]
This and That: Wandering Around Three Rivers
There is an excellent museum in Three Rivers, and parked in front are some old fire trucks plus this tow truck. I had to wait for a couple of friends stuck at one of the many ongoing lengthy roadblocks, so I wandered around with my inferior phone camera. On a recent walk, I took this […]
