I thought this shot was a little muddled, needed shallower depth of focus. But the moment happened and there was not time to adjust the aperture.
My first encounter with Whole Earth was in May 1985. It was a Sunday. We had just moved to Davis and were spending the day on campus. My husband was watching a cricket match and our daughter and I were exploring on our bikes. At one point I made it to the Quad and saw something that made my jaw drop. I left to find my husband because, wow, he needed to see this. When he asked what was going on, I told him, "Either I just had a massive acid flashback or there are a couple thousand people on the Quad who think it's 1967. " Tie dye, vegetarian food vendors, rock bands, yoga/meditation tents, etc. It was breathtaking. I've attended many more since then.

I'm the sort of person who thinks you should get good use out of something before discarding or replacing it. I've had my (now) former laptop for almost ten years. It's still works fine, but it needs a new battery and some might argue that it has become a security risk. A trusted family member has convinced me to get a new one.
That's the first part of the story. The second part is this- I've been using digital cameras for over twenty years and in all that time, I haven't done a major overhaul of my archive. I have attempted it on a couple of occasions in the past few years but each time the effort loses momentum and I let it go again.
For now, this new machine seems to be working wonders on my ambition and attitude. I'll take advantage as long as it last. :-)
I found this yesterday. It was taken on the Embarcadero in San Francisco in 2009.

Today is the anniversary of the birth of our nation. Even though there are a lot of bad actions in our history, mostly because we decided to use our good fortune for empire building, I still think there is a lot of beauty and and there are good people.

This is Independence, California. The town is at about 4000 feet and the mountains in the background are in a range lower and higher than 4000 meters. One of them is about 4300 meters.
