Soberanes Day 62 – Photos
Here are a couple photos take by Ellen Hrabak Beck as her flight flew over our area:
I love this portrait of a young hotshot from Oregon by Michael Troutman:

Soberanes Fire Photos, 7/23
I received a lot of photos today, but nobody put more time in my day. Now that it is dark and news has quieted, I can post a few of the ones I think are either great photos, great perspective, or otherwise contribute new information for today’s events. I will simply identify the place and time, if provided, and the photographer. If I don’t include yours, if might be that it is just lost in my inbox, on Twitter, or FB. I get them through so many different methods, it is really hard to keep track. Doesn’t mean I don’t want them or think they are not worthy of posting, it only means I am one person – flawed, busy, and at times, disorganized.
With these images, I bid you good night. I’ll be up and gathering info early, but probably not ready to start posting until 7 when I have a feel for what happened overnight. Love, blessings and healing to all of us and our land.

That’s it, I cannot do anymore tonight.
I came across a treasure …
While cleaning out my old office. (I am retired now and no longer need that “office” except for storage.)
The Seniors at Pacific Valley School created this as their “senior project” – 18 years ago. I will always treasure it.

Foto Friday, 4/3
Today, I dug into the archives. I have misplaced my battery charger for my camera. I still have the bowels of my Jeep, behind the seats, where everything ends up, to search, but after that, I give up! If I’ve posted these before, forgive me, I’ve lost track.
I have meant to post these for quite some time, but always seem to get distracted. Jeff Mallory graciously let me tour Emile Normans house quite some time ago, and I always wanted to post these photos taken there. KQED did a lovely documentary of the mans life that I thoroughly enjoyed also. I came away from both in awe of the man’s genius.
The entire house is a work of art, and Emile did it all. If I can find the link to the documentary, I will post it here. Worth the time to watch it, as his was a fascinating life.

Yes – this is the film you may have heard of already – one we have been longing to show at the Library with our big screen, and great sound!
Kennan and Karen Ward stayed in Big Sur for many years, mainly at Big Creek, to do this portait and the result is stunning.
Please come and sit back under the redwoods for what will be a truly wild story. (In part told by Feynner Arias!)
In the film we’ll see the remote wilderness where a family of endangered condors raise a chick high in a redwood tree, witness a one-eyed bobcat as she learns new hunting techniques in a struggle to survive…
Experience the beauty of this wild coast with a man who has made this rugged environment his home for thirty years.
Discover the unique and hidden secrets of this wild land we call Big Sur!
“You haven’t seen Big Sur until you have seen this movie.”

Jackson Stock at the River Inn
Kate asked me to share the enjoyment of Jackson Stock’s jazz at the River Inn today on the river and the memories of all the Sundays past of Jake Stock and the Abalone Stompers, his dad, brought us. Thanks, from Kate’s new humble helper, bigsurdeb.
