Virginia City (1997)

Fire Truck (Virginia City) - Nevada  2026

Palm Sunday (Virginia City) - Nevada  1997

Virginia City is over 6000' elevation. Palm Sunday in 1997 was March 3, so there's a definite date for the bottom photo.

Reno (1997)

Reno - Nevada  1997

Hotel (Reno) - Nevada  1997

Scenes from a mini vacation we took in 1997 . . . stayed overnight in Reno and took a day trip to Virginia City.

Monday Sheep Blogging (1997)

Sheep - Humboldt County  1997

So maybe this was taken in Nevada. Photo is on the same roll of film as scenes from Reno and Virginia City in Nevada. But also locations in Truckee in California. And a few pix taken in Humboldt County!

Going to have to go with Humboldt County, I think. Photo has a northern California look to it.

Buckeye Leaves - Marin County  2026

Top photo taken with an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Bottom one with an Olympus E-M10 / Lumix 12-60mm lens combo. Pretty old, as such digital things go, but actually still quite serviceable. Light weight, too.

Mike's Birthday!

Godzilla, Mike (Tokyo) - Japan  2017

Wow!

Backpack Tent

Tent Drying Out (Fairfax) - Marin County  2026

I had an unfortunate tent mildew episode some years ago, so I always make sure to get the Big Agnes tent super dry before putting it away. 

I got the tent in 2018, so I've had it for a while.

Monday Heerman's Gull Blogging

Heerman's Gulls - Point Reyes  2026

Heerman's Gulls - Point Reyes 2026

Heerman's gulls were featured in an earlier 2018 post. Very picturesque.

Limantour Beach Wave

Limantour Beach Wave #1 - Point Reyes  2026

Limantour Beach Wave #2 - Point Reyes  2026

Nice. I used a Nikon Z7II with a 40mm (non-zoom) lens. 

Limantour Beach

Limantour Marsh - Point Reyes  2026

Limantour Beach - Point Reyes  2026

Photos taken just after my most recent Coast Camp backpack. During my visit there I hadn't been able to go down to the beach. Annoying! So when I returned to my car I decided to drive over to the Limantour beach area, to get some actual beach time in.

Alders

Alders, Road - Point Reyes  2026

Alders - Point Reyes  2026

Hanna and I hiked this route in 2025, so I knew that it was quite long. Still seemed to take forever.

Coast Camp - Hiking Out

Coyote Bush, Ocean - Point Reyes  2026

View South - Point Reyes  2026

I wanted to avoid the eroded trail that I had come in on, so I was taking the (much longer) alternate fire road out. The road follows the coast for a while before turning inland.
