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
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.
The Artichokes looked to fine that day
more interesting patterns in the sand.
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.
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.
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.
This is the Mills Peak lookout tower perched way high up on the rocks.
More Sand Paterns
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.
Victorian House in Red Bluff, CA. Red Bluff has a pretty nice set of of well-maintained Victorians. This is just one of them.
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.
In the Oregon Woods you can come across one of these beauties... How come I expect it to start dancing?
