Random Bits of This and That

Here are a variety of little moments that got left out of my showings.

James has an art gallery here at Tobin, and over the month of October, he hosted an art show with his fellow Main Street Artist Gallery associates.  

it's a sign!  hanging from the old milk truck


Here's James in his Gallery

the art show from a different angle

me and my second crop of potatoes

our newest sign

I love sunlit weeds in early autumn

the big boater weekend of the year was extremely well attended

a slew of kayakers running the rapids

the boulders just east of Tobin look so pretty with the colorful boats



self-explanatory
Kyria came for the weekend, and her desire to run around in the mountains took me, her and Jeffery up the Ben Lomond trail.  We are standing on what Brenda calls Paul's Nose

The Paul's Nose rock with the metal badge embedded, telling us  that Paul's Creek Point is 3854 ft. in elevation

Okay, eye test time again.  Kyria is a tiny figure in this view, her arms upraised, wearing a blue shirt.  Can you see her?      She is standing on a round rock.  At the right edge of the photo is a tree with silvery branches.  A bit left of that is a burnt looking tree.  Kyria is between the two trees just below the top edge of the right tree.  See her?  Hi, Kyria!  She was taking a run.

Jeffery and I attended his 40th (!!) high school reunion, Class of 75, which was also the Class of 74's reunion

the d.j. and his lady

Class of 1975 Quincy High School - 40 years later.

Kyria brought me heart rocks from France and Switzerland!

Jeffery and I did a hike up Yellow Creek

the Belden Powerhouse

workers hanging out

it doesn't look quite real, does it?  it's like a kid's creation

Yellow Creek

this tree twisted and ripped right off the hill and fell with a crash some time not too long ago

you can see the trail for quite a ways through this stretch of the forest

a pretty whirl-pool.  See the leaf stuck to the rock sort of left of center?  It stayed there the whole time we sat by the creek

closer view.  the water lapped in heavier swooshes, then ebbed a bit, but the leaf stayed put.  "surface tension" in action

view up the creek

on the trail to home

we also slipped in a nice evening at Rocki's Feather River Hot Springs with music by Andy Shanks

and there you have it!  All the news that is fit to print.  Smile!
