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.

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
