Truck vs Trucks

Time once again for the Sierra-Cascade Environment and Resouces Fund to raise money for forestry education at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference 2020. Mary Livingson and I are ready for our duel art competition. This year the theme is Trucks versus Truck. In one corner we have two Kenworths, one vintage and one new up a against a shiny new Peterbilt. May the best truck or trucks win!

The fundraising dinner has about 50 items to be auctioned. We are in the middle of the auction. Our paintings auction in a unique manner at this event. They auction together. The winning bidder gets to select the painting he/she wants and the other painting goes back on the block, or they can take both paintings at the winning bid price. This is looking like an anything can happen auction. It’s always exciting!

The Auction is tomorrow night. I’d love to know which you like best. We’ll let you know who wins!
Hey, I’ve seen that truck somewhere before!
Hmm…that looks familiar.

Never mind…

This was Saturday afternoon. What started out beautiful turned to spitting snow on us. It was over a hundred degrees just three days before in the valley. I feel like I’m in Montana! 🥶

Later it turned better!

On Sunday we did the same thing.

Morning Light Evening Light

This morning the light on the ridge was glorious! A harbinger of a beautiful day. Then it began to drizzle. When the light faded it went quickly. Last week was a beautiful evening that made the entire sky glow. I took pictures in all directions.

  • A crack in the sky let the sun light up the ridge.
  • The blue oaks looked like they had fall color, but they are leafless.
  • The other evening the entire sky glowed.
  • To the south over our home.
  • To the north over the hills.

Forestry Friday … Winter Arrives

Now for something completely different. After all the wildfire and fire salvage pictures how about a little more serenity.

Snow, winter, forestry
Nothing like fresh snow at the beginning of the season.
Snow, winter, forestry, working forest
It’s winter in the Northern Sierra. So quiet and peaceful in these woods.
Winter, snow, snowy, forest, forestry, working forest
My kind of commute!
