I was raised in Diamond Springs, Donna, arriving there in 1943 and living there until I went away to college. Loved growing up there. The book I am blogging will have Diamond Spring stories once I get through the Sierra Trek. –Curt
You have a very good eye for the unusual and the ignored. I often try to do this both in the countryside and in the centre of towns. People often ask me what the heck I’m doing as I photograph a rusty bolt on a gate, a strand of sheep’s wool on a fence, the steps on an escalator. All part of mindfulness 👍
Oh boy, is that a common query if we see differently! 🤪 Photography always seems a bit Zen to me. Either I’m out with people or I’m out with my camera.
Oh these are brilliant photos for this week. Thanks for playing along 😀

It is fun to share photos in these challenges — keeps my photo eye awake.

That’s why I run challenges and participate in them. Keeps my eye and creativity. 😀

With all the digital tools (compared to film) it almost seems too easy! But so fun to play. 😉

I suddenly thought of the Old West song, Don’t Fence Me In. 🙂 A good subject for black and white. –Curt

That song does fit the photos, Curt. Thanks for the compliment and for stopping by.

You are very welcome, Donna. Do I remember you mentioning El Dorado County? I was raised there. 🙂 –Curt
