While visiting my best friend from college, Lydia, for her birthday in California. We took to the trails along the Kern River in California’s Sequoia National Forest for a day.
A great sequoia, a common sight every direction when hiking in the Giant Sequoia National Monument. The lack of green that I’ve grown accustomed to in Appalachia is quite shocking. But there is an abundance of wildlife around, you may have to look a bit harder for it though.

Ed Strickler and his Chinquapin Oak, which is the largest in the state, on the bank of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. The Virginia state champion Chinquapin oak is one of several area trees that have been nominated to be included in a book, “Remarkable Trees of Virginia.”
It’s outlasted two mills that operated beside it. The Riverbank Roller Mill burned in 1901 and the Waterloo Mill burned around 1929, says Strickler. It was last measured in 2002, its circumference was 256 inches, its height was 78 feet and its crown spread was 102 inches.

Caving at my first Old Timer’s Reunion (OTR)! The group dressed up for the cave during our annual “Polyester Power Hour.” And of course we had fun goofing around. I also got some mud butt . . .

Another holiday working…. at least I got to spend it at a bluegrass festival. However, it would have been nice to sit back and enjoy a few brews.
This family was trying to stay dry during a swift rainstorm, which only made it more muggy afterwards.

Sometimes going to the mundane assignments, like this one at a fundraiser for a local fire department, can be grueling. But sometimes, just sometimes, you can get a gem of an image like this one.
