I enjoy our weekly challenges because they help bring back memories of fun photo outings. And, as I dig way back into prior years, I see how my photography has improved. This week Patti has given us the letter “S” and suggested many ways we could post on it.
I just dove into my archives and here are some memories that I enjoyed re-visiting.
In 2018, Marlene and I went with a Meetup group for a photo walk along the Embarcadero in San Francisco. It was a wonderful day topped off with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream (There aren’t any in Sacramento!). On the left is a probable homeless man sleeping on a bench. On the right is a sightseeing bus with lots of tourists. What a dichotomy of life.
Also taken in 2018 is a sunset with sunflowers taken in Yolo County.

Jumping to that infamous year 2020, we have a delectable sweet treat taken at the Isleton Asian Festival, a shed taken on a road trip and shadows on a gazebo at the UC Davis Arboretum.
Now for some recent pictures in 2021, I’ll close this post with a sidewalk at Coyote Pond in Lincoln and snow at Donner Lake. Both taken this year.
Thank you Patti for this fun challenge!
Remember some of these outings. Looking forward to many more.
Me too!
Great S photos! I want some of that ice cream!๐
Thanks Anne! Ben and Jerry’s is the best!
We will all celebrate when we can have these fun excursions again. I enjoyed your varied collection. I love that gorgeous sunset, too.
Thank you Patti! I’m looking forward to that celebration.
Me, too.
Enjoyed your S selections, Anne. Wonderful images. A sunset with sunflowers is my favorite, beautifully captured.
Thank you Amy! I love sunflowers and to be near a field at sunset was a treat.
Lovely esses Anne – my favorite of course is the Snowy Scene ( love to see photos of it, don’t want to experience it first-hand!). No Ben & Jerry’s???? I’d have to move!!!
Thanks Tina! We may not have a Ben and Jerry’s, but we are 1 1/2 hours from the snow! Fortunately, I can buy B&J at the market. Cherry Garcia is my favorite.
A lovely selection of photos! I think my favourite is the sunflowers / sunset one – the light is beautiful ๐
Thank you Sarah!
