Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Half and Half.” Oak trees and their shadows on the soft hills of Pacheco Pass with two electrical lines running through the middle is my choice for “Half and Half.”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symbol
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Symbol.” The shadow of a butterfly is a personal symbol. I follow the flit of butterfly, anticipating when it will land.
