The 20-foot-tall pile of rocks left from a gold mining dredger 70 years ago, look as if they may protect buried treasure after all. It is the December 2009 morning drizzle that shined-up these unearthed river rock. And yes, when you go walking out on them, there are rocks of many colors in sizes that [...]

After a week of freezing temps and a skiff of snow, ice is forming along Scott River. We have had a week of single-digit temperatures at night and rarely a degree or two above 32 degrees during the day. Last night, it was just 4 degrees again. Wednesday and Thursday at 1 p.m or so, [...]

Funny how the air seems soft in September, as the sun is setting and especially at night. It ebbs softly with the stars twinkling and Milky Way’s arch flowing through the midnight sky. It warmed up today to 90 degrees at least, but as September moves along, the air doesn’t feel as harsh. I move [...]

Feeling a nice breeze at 11:30 p.m. as I stand on my porch facing the south and gaze at the moon above the eastern hill. Venus has moved from the south to the middle of its arch. Oh, such a night to be standing under the stars.

It is getting dark earlier, now that it has been two months since the sun started lowering in the sky and shortening the hours of daylight. So as it was nearly 8 p.m. driving home from a meeting, I decided to stop at Fay Lane for a half-hour walk. If I waited until I arrived [...]

Driving home from Samantha Siemer’s pre-wedding party, I realized it would be dark when I arrived home and didn’t want to go for my walk in the dark.
