Monday Miscellany-What I Did on my Summer Vacation

One thing you can't accuse me of is repeating places I visit. Amsterdam last month, northern California the next. I know. I know. As someone said, "The only reasons for ending up in the northeast corner of California is you got lost or your car broke down."

Well, that's just not our case. We love the area and the openness of the place.  Here's a little bit of what it's like. I wish I could have taken pictures of the stars. I stayed outside at night as long as I could and tried to soak in the universe they're part of.

 Major highway at peak traffic.

(The sound was the wind and nothing else until I clicked my camera.)

 A Lumber Mill Sawdust Burner. 

(This was important before pressboard was invented.)

 Goose Lake Tourist Season

(My own kind of Moor. There's mist in the mornings and boggy ground and sky.)

 The Social Center

(I want to put characters here and hear them talk.)

 Stuff

(I want to use this in a story.)

First Christian Church

(If I ever write a book that has a quaint church, this will be the picture I use to describe it.)

We all have our favorite places to get away. You've just seen one of mine. Where's yours? Where do you recharge?
