I'm going back to a better time in Yosemite Valley. The cool mist and clouds were just clearing to reveal El Capitan. I'm wishing for the clear, crisp air of winter right now.
Back in the days before Covid I traveled to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and spent a long weekend at a resort that had water that was just this green, a bit more clear and about 97% more inviting. The drinks flowed, the sun baked us and I read book after book after book.
I miss traveling.

Song
You come to see the sea, and the sea makes you jump with glee, and then as you frolic and become carefree, it suddenly makes you flee, and even then you marvel at its beauty. Sigh, to force such a horrendous rhyme, ought to be a not a small crime, or maybe not, if I promise not to do it all the time.
A hilltop in the middle of a large city in the early evening. To the left, near one of the trees, if you squint you can see the image of a statue. Pioneer Mother is “A memorial to mothers who made the arduous trip west to seek better lives for their families, the 13-foot bronze statue depicts a woman perched sidesaddle on a mount, holding an infant, her expression reflecting grim determination and exhaustion. She is flanked by two men with rifles and a weary pack horse.” Can you guess where this statue is located? Maybe somewhere near a famous trail leading settlers to the west?

In the little white house to the left of the laundromat lived a little old lady named Ida Mae. While photographing the beautiful old patina and signage of the decrepit building, Ida Mae came out of her house to see what I was up to. Upon informing her of my desire to record historic structures and to post them so that others around the world can see and appreciate them, she began to recount to me the entire history of the place and of how she and her deceased husband ran the business for years and were able to live next door and raise their family while doing so. This is in extreme southern Illinois where the southern dialect prevails and Ida Mae sure had a charming one. Her southern hospitality was on full display as she recounted her years of involvement with the old laundromat. When I left finally, I began to realize that I was more moved by the charm of this old southern lady than I was by the exceedingly photogenic structure I came here to record. All old objects have a human story. Sometimes we get to see it and hear it as we go about our photographic adventures. This very image shows forth the importance of our work. We are no less involved in social documentation than Dorothea Lange in her work during the thirties with the dust bowl refugees. The signage on this humble historic structure is now long gone and so is Ida Mae. The current owners have completely remodeled the old building destroying the old signage and patina in the process. Let us pause to reflect on the importance of our work and salute the lives of the working people that have made it possible. God bless you Ida Mae. Heaven holds a place for those who pray.
A rather better shot than the previous one posted of this species. A raven of mountain country in eastern and southern Africa. From a slide.

Lake Almanor
Plumas County
California
From the 2018 archives
Lake Almanor was formed by Canyon Dam on the North Fork of the Feather River, which was completed in 1914. The lake has been a popular recreation area for more than a century.
Fire maps show the Dixie Fire burning all around Lake Almanor. This massive fire had grown to more than 320,000 acres and was 35% contained as of the morning of July 5, 2021. It is now the sixth largest fire in California history. It is already burning parts of Lassen National Park and has leveled one Gold Rush town.
The wildfires around the world are devastating, and we must act now!
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
