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.

Back on the road

After a lovely and memorable vacation to Seattle, the coasts of Washington and Oregon, plus an unexpected stop in Salem for a few days of forced rest, we are back to the North State.
Last Sunday, Sam and I were able to explore Butte and Glenn Counties including an old train station in Nord and 5 cemeteries. It was hot, but a good day.
