Winter in the North State
I have had a lapse of a season or two since the last time I blogged. The new year is always a good time for endings and beginnings so it gives me an opportunity to start again. Since my summer project of photographing pioneer cemeteries and grave sites throughout Northern California, I have traveled to Seattle and seen the birth of my first grandaughter, been selected to exhibit 2 photographs in the Snow Geese Festival at the end of the month, and enjoyed visiting with my whole family over the holidays. I'm inspired now to show my vision of the beauty I see in the North State in this season. Happy New Year.

End of Summer
On September 30th Sam and I went for our Sunday drive. Temperatures were in the triple digits as they had been all week. I had a sense that this was the last really hot weather for a season, and felt this day was really the end of summer. We looked on a map, and realized that during the summer we had visited every town in Butte County and I had photographed most every cemetery in the county plus many from other parts of Northern California. I thought it fitting, therefore to end the day and the summer at the Forest Ranch Cemetery near where we live.
