There’s Gold in Them Thar Hills
We are taking pictures of money today at We’re Here!
I decided to combine my Money Collection with a beautiful source image provided by Kreative People Administrator, Xandram. It’s for the “Treat This” challenge 168, and you can see a thumbnail of the original in the first comment box below.
I also wanted to tell a story about the great outing I had yesterday visiting an area involved in the California “Gold Rush”. The history on display is so "enriching"! I saw the historic pioneer cemetery in Marysville, Yuba County, and stopped by an old mining town site in Butte County called Oregon City to see a covered bridge and an 1800's one-room schoolhouse. The highlight of my glorious day was a long ramble on Table Mountain, where vernal pools, little seasonal streams, and a multitude of spring wildflowers are delivering a show-stopping display. You see some of the “California Gold” here in my collage which features goldfields (Lasthenia californica) and yellow carpet (Blennosperma nanum).
I hope I’ll have time in the coming days to sort through the nearly 1,000 photos, and check on my id’s of over two dozen different species. If you don’t care for wildflowers, you might want to “unfollow” me for a little while! ;-)
And a final note: HSS and Happy Easter!
