Oh My Ears and Whiskers!

Yikes, more pictures from the past few months. A little Random with no story line.

A clear, crisp March day at the Mendocino Country coast

California Water Station Building

You will find these tidy little California Water station buildings around the state.

Interesting patterns found in the sand on the Oregon Coast

Mendocino Coastline what can I say... it's a mighty beautiful thing to behold.

Playing With My Food Again

The Artichokes looked to fine that day

more interesting patterns in the sand.

Weathered Quartz Veins in Sandstone

In this rock, the stone weathers faster than the quartz veins.

What can I say?, I sure enjoyed walking along the Morrow Bay Beach at sunset

Interesting weathering on this bit of Sandstone.

Weathered Ocean Stone

on this bit of rock, the veins weathered before the stone

In the Sierra Foothills East of Redding you will find miles of these stone "fences." Nicely stacked. aout 30 inches tall and about 4-feet wide. some of those rocks at the base are mighty big.

And less then a mile from the parched, dry foothills east of Redding, you cross a bridge over the Sacramento river and drive through lush, verdant landscapes such as this.

Driving along some of the backroads of Sacramento Valley I came across this derelict lunch wagon.

Impassable Bridge

This is a disfunctional bridge.They have removed all of the wooden beams of the road bed and sealed it from traffic. The first step is a whopper.

This is Eureka Lake. up by Eureka Peak in the Sierras.

Lookout Tower

This is the Mills Peak lookout tower perched way high up on the rocks.

Sand Pattern

More Sand Paterns

Stone Arch

This house had a nice stone arch and, unfortunately, many more cracks similar to the one on this arch.

This is Anderson Creek, right before it merges with the Sacramento River.

Symmetrical Victorian House in Red Bluff

Victorian House in Red Bluff, CA. Red Bluff has a pretty nice set of of well-maintained Victorians. This is just one of them.

Sand Pattern

OK, ok... this is the last Sand Pattern.

After a long day of house hunting it is refreshing to see a structure like this.... not propped up by Realtor verbiage of "Good Bones" or "Handyman Special." It's just an old shed in the process of becoming one with the elements.

Mushroom

In the Oregon Woods you can come across one of these beauties... How come I expect it to start dancing?

Not a whole lot to report. Been wandering about on the West Coast some more, resulting in a few more snapshots. These are from Northern & Central California.

Some random shots from the past year. The Hayfield is a nice, tidy, decently maintained motel to look at.
Wildlands of San Francisco
May 26, 2016
It is all around us and it is relentless. Right now it is working at destroying our homes and cities. While we sleep at night it is tirelessly toiling away. Overcoming everything we know. Everything we have made. Everything we will ever do. There is no escape. We are in a symbiotic relationship with it. We love it deeply and without it we will die. Yet in the long run, our species will be gone and it will overrun this world until all life is gone and there is nothing left but a burnt ember orbiting the Sun.
Some Humble Abodes
May 23, 2016
There are uncounted scads of really nice Victorian houses in San Francisco and if I was to take pictures of the best of them I couldn't afford the film... er... hard drive space. Besides, San Francisco has many more syles of houses beyond Victorians. This a selection of a few that I have shot in the past month or so.
Fort Bragg on a Foggy Night

The fog rolls in.. It is late on a late spring night. Nothing on TV. There never is. Grab the camera & tripod... it's time to take a walk.
And a Few More Pictures of San Francisco
May 09, 2016
There are always a few left-over pictures that don't seem to fit in with any article.. I'll throw in a Batch of San Francisco images here. these are shot in all sections of the city, and are not displayed in any particular order.
California's Lost Coast
May 07, 2016
There is an area of California known as the Lost Coast. Somewhere north of Fort Bragg, south of Ferndale and west of highway 101. There are a few ways to get there but fewer people who will tell you how. Some places you can drive to, much of it is accessable only by foot if at all. It is one of the remaining places that Sasquatch can run free.
What are you going to do in San Francisco anyhow?
Dec 28, 2015
I like San Francisco. I always have. For my first job I was a driver for a water lab. Every morning I had to drive from Redwood City to Marin (through San Francisco, of course). I had all morning to do the drive plus my lunch hour. I would often spend my lunch hour picking a new route through the city. Way too much fun to be paid for, but i took the money anyway. Now I had the opportunity to spend all day every day in the city.

May & June get lumped together. Lots of packing. 56 years of house to deal with. Getting my replacements at Gryphon up and running.

April was an interesting month. Packing things up. A few shots testing a new Canon 100-400mm lens. Of course when packing things can get messy... I knocked over a pile of empty film reels. It looked so nice I just had to take a picture.
