Visiting My Daughter-Day 3…Ferndale Cemetery

Posted on May 10, 2021 | 13 comments

You might not think that a cemetery would be a destination for visiting, however the picturesque Ferndale Cemetery is the most photographed historic cemetery in California.

The cemetery was established in 1868.

It is also the perfect backdrop for my daughter and I to practice a ‘ghosting’ photography technique (We need a lot more practice!).

I am going to apologize now for the not-so-sharp looking photos that I am going to share. I did not discover until long after my vacation was over that a malicious gleeful demon had changed some of my camera settings (I am positive that it couldn’t have been me!).

Enjoy the photo tour!

Explore! Stay healthy and stay safe!

Visiting My Daughter-Day Two…Patrick’s Point

Posted on May 7, 2021 | 8 comments

I shared photos from my visit to Patrick’s Point in yesterday’s post. This is a continuation of your photo tour from that visit.

Enjoy!

Anyone know what may have caused the circles on this rock?

Do you see the face in this rock? And how about this banana slug! He is a big one!

The park features a small recreated traditional Native American village maintained by the Yurok people. The village is called Sumeg Village and is in use today. One can see a redwood canoe, a sweat house, a dance house, and family houses.

If you enjoyed this little photo tour, then you might like to hop on over to my daughter’s website, where she shares more about Patrick’s Point, including watching her Coastie husband and crewmates hoisting. She is a much better photographer than I am!

Explore! Stay healthy and stay safe!

Visiting My Daughter-Day Two…Patrick’s Point

Posted on May 6, 2021 | 19 comments

While visiting our daughter, she took us to a fabulous park known as Patrick’s Point. I would go back again and again and again if I could! I found this to be a magical place!

Patrick’s Point is 30 miles north of Eureka, California. It is a lush, 640 acre park that takes you to the jungle and to the seaside. There is so much to explore! The park has spectacular views and six miles of trails.
