Holiday magic doesn't disappear after the festivities wind down. That light of kindness and giving can shine all year long. I see that light in you. Shine on ✨❤️🎄And how lucky am I to live here? 🌟

Feeling outdoor vintage autumn vibes with cozy campfire and golden leaves The is the perfect place to spend autumn afternoons with a warm cozy campfire and a beverage of your choosing and a camper for those cool nights. There are openings available for people who appreciate this time of year and all the opportunities in the area with Christmas fairs, and boutique shopping, and yummy food. And the outdoors is still so pretty with leaves and color and fresh air that we all love in the foothills. I hope you get a chance to go explore soon 🍁🍂

Ah, the fleeting forests of color, the blue skies and flaming leaves until one windy day or soaking storm and they all let go for another year. How I adore autumn 🍂

Prom 2020. The scariest of them all. Third week of March. And not her prom dress. She never got to wear one. We took the series of skull adventures in the months leading up to the pandemic. Not knowing, maybe sensing. These images in our damaged (at the time) pool feels like such the history. Everything we went through. The pandemic, the upending of sudden, sweeping change, the losses and cumulative emotions of it all, the greatest slow motion horror story of my lifetime. Hopefully for a few lifetimes.

She finds a friend, which may be a beautiful adventure, finally connecting with a like-minded soul, or it could be an absolute disaster. For us. They are so old school that windows are boarded up and halls are deserted. Except for them. Hopefully they are enough. And stay here, away from us.

Behind the scenes- we talked to the owner of this property before entering or taking photographs. And we had one mask. So our third friend, not photographed, walked the mask between them and I put together a composite in . It was early days of learning, I had fun creating the scenes with light-hearted skull-wearing monsters. Friendships make the journey a not-monstrous adventure.

The creative inspiration!

Ever have one of those days where you realize that the appointment you thought was tomorrow is actually today and you need to drive an hour to get there and you realize your mistake about two minutes before you’re supposed to be leaving the house so you scramble to get out the door and you get out the door and you’re six minutes late and everything‘s OK but you’re still scattered in your mind and then you drive home? And you have a moment contemplating “This is my circus, these are my monkeys.” And you’re losing monkeys? Yeah, me neither 😂 Keeping track of appointments not my strong suit this week, but that’s OK. Still getting through one day at a time. Wishing you good memory for all of your appointments and meetings and hopefully fun activities.❤️

Incredible painting by aka Allison from Skin Wars. Looking back on the art I photographed with and for her is always a treat 🙌❤️

Surprise visitor in our pool! Never seen a bear in our neighborhood, but it sure seems like he's been swimming before 😳 It's hot out here, even the bears need a cool dip 🐻💦 Nevada City, CA

Even in warm seasons, her coziness inspires me. She wears all knitted clothing, from her curly hat to her textured skirt. I imagine the forest on a cool early morning, light cresting through the trees, her path scented with pine needles, dew heavy on flower petals. She's cute 🩵AI is amusing. In this case, the original image showed the arms in front of her wings. I thought that selecting that part of the sweater and replacing it with a wing would be easy-peasy. Ah, no, AI is tricksy. The first try included "match fairy wing". Whelp, it got the match 😂. I know AI doesn't interpret images the way we process information., "Fairy wing" might be gobblygook. I tried "Fix hair" at the border between the hair and the new wing. Very well done with the tiny comb! The comb will fix her hair, I'm sure. AI prompts require creative thinking for finished images. The prompts must be so literal and also super needy of details. I prevailed, and I love this lovely knitted imaginary Forest Fairy inspired by . The original is the last of this series. Sending you good prompts for good days 🧚🏽🧚‍🧚‍♀️🩵

March rains lead to Roses-by-any-other-names…? Uh, it’s a work in progress. But raindrops on roses are one of my favorite things (real)(true). And I can feel that hint on spring in this rainstorm. Soon, roses, soon. And tap for full image and B&W, because I love how color writes stories, and how black and white writes poems (for me).

Hope your day brings a rose of one kindness or another ❤️



Which version do you like better?

Wonderful memories of this adventure. I was mentoring a talented high school photographer. My daughter joined us for the fun. Visited the Firehouse Museum afterwards. Then drove up highway 20 to create levitation photos. Photos are memory-unlocks for me ❤️🩵 Happy Chinese New Year! This celebration is inspiring! Thank you for sharing Inn Town Campground

The greenest greens in our beloved Yuba River Canyon. Rain awakens a celebration of green. Taken during a photowalk. And another photowalk is around the corner, hurrah. Visit the Inn Town Campground for all the details. The greens at the the Inn Town Campground will be equally green after this rainy February. Hurrah for being inspired with other photographers. Every season brings new inspiration.

Dreams of dreamy Airstream office time. Hope your space, and plans for the day, are inspiring! I’m always inspired at the Inn Town Campground.

Happy Monday campers… while our vintage office doesn’t actually get a lot of use, it definitely is an inspiring place to work once in awhile. Still accepting resumes for our camp host position, if you are looking for a fun place to live and work? Photo by
