A few of you didn’t get the connection between the van and the web site. So to spell it out, it’s the colors, light yellow and cream, separated by a purple stripe. Ok, so the purple stripe is a bit …
Ferndale is the spider capital of the world. Someone once explained it thus, “Ferndale has cows, flies like cows, spiders eat flies, so Ferndale is the perfect spot for spiders.” While the blimp was flying over, Lori was busy washing …
I remember when we moved to Ferndale from our house in San Jose where we were nearly under the flight path of SJO airport, that one of the things I was struck by was the lack of airplanes in the …
Went over to Fortuna this afternoon to take a look at the annual Autorama car show on Main St. As usual many of the same vehicles were there from previous years, but there are always enough new ones to make …
This photo involved more planning than I’ve ever put into one photo. I first got the idea about six months ago, but there were several hurdles to finally make it happen. First I had to find the right props, and …
As promised, here’s a picture from Trillium Falls from Sunday’s shoot. Not exactly the biggest waterfall to go see, but for Humboldt County, it’s about as good as they get. Surprising that with all the varied terrain and abundant rainfall …
I spent this afternoon photographing Katy on the Trillium Falls trail. Once I sort throught the pictures, I’ll have some that actually show the falls. This one was taken later in the day when I needed a rest from carrying …
This weekend the Redwood Run is going on which means that there has been a steady parade of Harley’s on Main Street. In my opinion, Harley’s are better appreciated as art than as motorcycles, and judging from the mileage on …
This was supposed to be a photo of my Triumph Sprint ST with a model posed on it. However, as it seems to be my curse, the model cancelled at the last minute. Since I had already washed it (a …
Today and yesterday it was very warm in Ferndale. Saturday our old house group had a picnic in Bear River Valley, so I hung a sign on the shop door, “Closed today for lack of fog”. We were still sitting …
Ferndale is a popular spot for car clubs to come through, both for the quaintness of the town, and for the many scenic roads nearby. They often stop in Ferndale on their way to or from the Lost Coast. Today …
As I said, yesterday’s hike was special for the details we noticed. This picture captures one area that we studied for awhile. I thought it would be a great backdrop for an HO train layout, because it looked like it …
Today we decided to chuck the normal house and yard keeping that we do on Sunday and instead went for a peaceful hike in the redwoods. We had the trail completely to ourselves, and it was so relaxing and a …
This picture is how I most remember Sophie, with Lori on the floor playing with her. Two years ago when we brought her home from the fair I didn’t really know what to expect from a rabbit, but Lori thought …
Ferndale doesn’t have an “official” fireworks display. But unlike many areas in California, you can buy safe and sane fireworks in Humboldt County, and like anywhere else in the world, there are also displays of fireworks that don’t meet the …
One of the projects that I’ve been working on lately is scanning a box of over 150 glass negatives that were taken around 1895. Most of them are what we would call snapshots today, lots of pictures of the kids, …
