Five Year Anniversary
Bear with me as I try to figure out why my photos are showing up a lot smaller when I embed them from another site instead of uploading them directly to this blog. I have a question out in the ether but it’s going to take a bit to get a response. In the meantime,…

Foggy Day Schedule
I grew up in a small town in the rural Central Valley of California called Kingsburg. It was founded by Swedes over a couple of centuries ago and is called “little Sweden.” It is surrounded by farmland, so after some good rainy days, the area is coated with thick fog. I had wanted to capture…

Downtown Fresno in the Morning
The cold finally hit Fresno which means the ability to go take photos without dying in the sun. I drove to downtown Fresno to see if there was anything interesting to capture on this sleepy early morning Sunday. I saw this cool view from the top of a overpass, so I swung around to park…

Don’t Feed the Cats
At the end of a long main road, is an old silo that kind of looms in the distance until you are at the T junction of the road, where it then towers over your in a formidable fashion. It’s dirty, rusted, littered with trash, and still a beautiful construct to me. Every time I…

The view was amazing and I love old brick buildings, which is showcased heavily downtown. I’m so glad I brought my camera…

Photo-a-Day Challenge – Days 1-10
Quick backstory – I’ve been doing a photo-a-day challenge for 365 days on Instagram (@grayandivory) since my birthday in February. While taking photos every day, it’s often that I have plenty of extra photos that aren’t chosen as “the one” for the day. Previously, I’ve been posting those extra photos (or what I like to…

Shaver Lake, California
I needed some downtime and R&R, so I booked a cabin that my husband and I stay at for our anniversary in Shaver Lake for four days. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly a time of rest I was looking for. But as much as it was a nice getaway, it was touched with sadness…
