http://threesisters.net/photo_blog Mostly photos, but some other random stuff Wed, 09 Apr 2008 15:58:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've been keeping up with the April Challenge, but seem to fall behind in the 2008 Community Challenge. Maybe because there is so much that falls apart. Anyway, here are the shots for week 14 and week 15 (which by my count is this week). I set out yesterday evening ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/04/09/sunset-photos/ I've actually been keeping up with the April Challenge, so far. It's only Day 5, so I guess it's not much of an accomplishment yet. Here are the shots for days 2-5. April 2, 2008 Paint peeling off the old barn/shed in my backyard. This building is probably 100+ years old, and ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/04/05/devolution-days-2-5/ My first shot for the April photo challenge. It also works for this week's 2008 Challenge. My town is known for its streets, or actually how badly the streets need repairs. This street is in downtown, off the main drag. We've gotten a bit of press over the sad state of ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/04/02/sad-state-of-the-streets/ At some point in Petaluma's past, trains ran down this stretch of track in downtown. Since I've lived here, it's been a hazard and an eyesore. The trestle runs along the water front of the Petaluma River turning basin, a main pedestrian thoroughfare in downtown. Several years ago the trestle ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/03/22/water-street-trestle/ Over the past couple of weeks I've been behind in the 2008 Challenge. This week I'm trying to catch up a little by posting two shots, both of which I took this morning while on a walk with my dog. Only a few blocks from downtown sits one of the ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/03/16/playing-catch-up/ I took this for the 2008 challenge last week and posted it to Zooomr and Flickr, but haven't had a chance to blog it yet. I also submitted it to JPG Magazine under the "Fresh" theme for Issue 16. I'd appreciate a vote if you like it. This scene is very ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/03/12/the-sky-we-live-under/ This week I decided to take Google Forms for a spin to test out a new feature that allows you to feed data from a web form into a spreadsheet. Since Zooomr had a major upgrade on March 3 and because the community there is awesome, I figured a Zooomr ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/03/07/first-zooomr-survey/ It's the end of February and Spring is in full force. In typical California fashion, a few weeks of bad weather was followed by a week of upper 60s and low 70s, so all the plants have started budding and blooming. I drove by this house kind of on accident ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/02/28/antoher-spring/ Corner of Rohnert Park Expressway and Stony Point Road, Rohnert Park, CA. Rohnert Park is not really in my local community, but my family does bit of shopping in Rohnert Park and we drive through it often. This particular location could have a dramatic impact on my local community, though. ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/02/26/alone-in-this-world/ The Tour of California bike race is happening this week. On Monday, the race came through Sonoma County and one of my favorite towns, Tomales. My daughter and I drove out to Tomales, or rather to a spot on Hwy 1 near Tomales, to watch the race. I picked the ... http://threesisters.net/photo_blog/2008/02/20/tour-of-california/
