That must be a color photo, but it’s foggy there.

Yes Marin County California for all its politcal progressiveness is still a lovely place.

That flag on the rocky hill has been there forever! But there appear to be scant few photographs of same.

I processed it to appear to have been shot with black and white film. It was mildy overcast during my brief "photoshoot"

I was on my way to nearby Inverness CA out on the regularly foggy Pt Reyes Peninsula ..where the movie THE FOG..was said to be shot..

If I had to rely on film...at this point...Id be flat broke after shooting several hundred images a week.

Some images such as this one...just "demand" to be seen as "black and white"

Here’s some nice news from Wisconsin (I live here too!)

A good dog story always cheers me right up. Enjoy. :)

Thank you for starting this thread. We should do it everyday.

When you follow the news, like all of us do, it can get pretty intense.

Thank you for the reminder of how wonderful life is.

Not really a story but the weather is good news today! I’m not that far from you, in West Bend. Its finally nice enough to go swimming which is definitely good news in my house! Enjoy your day. :)

I allowed myself to get so wrapped up in that infamous recent Trial that I actually became nauseated.

Balance !!

Philippians 4:8 KJV

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Are you saying that I should get out and mow the lawn? (I should.) And a nice day (weatherwise) in Wisconsin is ALWAYS good news.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Mikey — I didn’t know that an American flag EXISTED in Marin County! That is really good news. I used to live in Bezerkeley and later in Piedmont, so I know Marin County. When I was in school at Berkeley I went to a lot of parties in Marin Co. Fond memories.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Love it! You’ve got me grinning ear to ear. Must be lunch time.

The Dalmation is wonderful. You are right — much better in black and white.

I love that quote.
