It has been a while ...

I know it has been a while, but I was trying to figure out what to write after the trip was done.  I think I may have it.  There are so many historic parks around us and the photo opportunities are too much for me to resist, so I will be posting pictures and writing about the locations and I will hopefully have several places picked out so you can see what is coming.

It will not be a weekly post, but I am hoping for at least twice a month on the parks. 

In between those I am hoping that I can post about our new volunteer work, I am still waiting to hear back from All About Equine Rescue on what we need to do.

I hope to post pictures of the family working on the ranch.

I recently took pictures of Cam and Annie at the Folsom Powerhouse State Park ... or what I have come to call the Mecca for family photographers.  Almost annoyingly so, with photographers running over you because you have a little camera and could not possibly be a photographer of any skill.

I was slightly irritated.

Here are my favorite shots.

"The Folsom Powerhouse is part of a colorful chapter of Sacramento history and is also an example of the tremendous advance in the commercial application of electricity. H.P. Livermore realized that the water of the American River could turn generators for electricity in Sacramento, 22 miles downstream. With his partners, Livermore built the powerhouse, which still looks much as it did in 1895.

The opening of the powerhouse brought with it a "grand electric carnival" parade through downtown Sacramento and a 100-gun salute from a detachment of soldiers near the substation. Vintage generators are still in place at the powerhouse, as is the control switchboard, faced with Tennessee marble. "


I will have to go back and take pictures of the actual Powerhouse ... It is pretty sweet ...

That is all for now.  I have to wake everyone up and get them ready for the day.

Have a great day!
