Please bear with me on my attempts to post. I haven't figured it out yet.They keep switching from order so you are getting the last first. This is why Autumn has this blog and not me

Historic Homes

This house was built in 1904 and is present day Memories Restaruant. It has been a beauty salon and a bakery. There's a story that  a previous owner had a parrot that sat on the front porch and  cussed a blue streak at everyone walking by, especially the ladies. The story goes that the city officials made him get rid of the bird or face prosecution on moral charges.

Historic Homes

I love the old historic homes in Alamo. It amazes me how different they are from each other when they were built about the same time. Not like the carbon copy developments we have now.

This house was the first one built here in 1903 I didn't find an old picture of it

And this one was the second one built also in 1903. It has been kept quite close to the original with only the front porch different.

stations of the cross

While walking on a path near Three Rivers, we came across these stone pillars-shrines, that seemed to just be placed randomly up the hills. We took alot of pictures and after reviewing them, we were quite shocked to see the stained glass inserts on them. You couldn't see them until a light reflected off it, either sunlight or in this case the flash of the camera. After investagating, we found that it is called the Stations of the Cross and it deplicts the final hours of Christ. There are 12 of them, but that night it got to dark to see them all. I hope you find them as intresting as we did. -Marcie...Well, there were more photos than this but it wouldn't let me upload them for some reason, I will try again later. And thanks for your patience,

Hi, I'm Marcie, and while Autumn is on vacation, I will attempt to update her blog for everyone.While we are know for our beautiful sunsets, by the time the sun peaks over the Sacramento Mountains, it's really rare to get awesome sunrises. These are a few that I was lucky to capture this year so I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy!!

Strange Tree End of Summer '10

Not the best photo, but you get the picture.

It has straightened out quite a bit this year, I think it will be totally straight by the end of next year.  I pick up a few leaves daily now, the season is over.

I wanted to throw this in.  An industrious spider wove this seemingly overnight.
