Broken Window

 

On a walk in the rain, an old garage revisited.

Spring Storms

After a sunny, mostly dry February, the snow is most welcomed.

Signs of Spring Rain

 

 

Mighty Madrone

The biggest Pacific Madrone tree I've ever seen, this spectacular tree stands beside Sherwood Road, itself a relic of the stagecoach era and likely a Pomo migration trail before that. As I was taking these pictures, a man paused in his pickup truck to say he passes it every day, and every day it amazes him still.

Amazing that so many Americans still depend on volunteers to save the day.

My Treehouse Can Beat Up Your Treehouse

Just in my lifetime, some of the redwood trees near my mom's house have doubled in size, but as a kid they seemed big enough to be awe inspiring. In my memory, our treehouse in a redwood tree seemed like it was half way to the top. But if I peek under the branches, I see that it was just a few platform boards and a roof, about twenty feet high. You can barely spot it above and to the left of the old ladder. We completed the climb using the giant branches.

A castle is where a child finds it.

Neon Colors

Way back when I was posting to Willits Daily Photo, I made note of a damaged sign on Main Street  that never seemed to be lit up. Well, the proprietors not only fixed it, they added color.

Mossy Walk

Shiny Winter Creek

The streams of this valley all drain to the Eel River. I've been told they used to be teeming with migrating salmon, half a century ago.
