Over the past year and a half I've taken pictures of the apple farm in Eureka, California on which my mom grew up. My aunt inherited it, and does her best to run it, but doing so is almost a full time job, and not a very lucrative one. You can see the photos in my photojournal of the Wrigley property.
My parents and I went on a short hike to Fern Canyon, a park along the northern coast of California. My mom had not been there for about 21 years. I made a photojournal of my digital photos. (We all carried cameras, but the images are probably similar that there isn't much point in combining them all.)
My parents and I went to Eureka, California during the beginning of July. While we were there, my dad and I visited the Sequoia Park Zoo, which is only a few blocks away from where he grew up. I took some photos of the zoo's inhabitants and made a photojournal.
Our uninterruptable power supply interrupted our power on June 21. The Belkin 1200VA UPS stopped providing juice to its protected sockets immediately after a power surge, which was due to a distant transformer blowing up (a frequent occurance these last few weeks, for some reason). I called Belkin and they sent out a replacement UPS via UPS, and I'm sending the defective one back to them. Their customer support was good, but I'm disappointed in the product for not better handling our erratic electricity.
