May Fair in Junction City.


The annual May Fair will be at  the Junc­tion City Park with ven­dors, music and May­pole dance.  The May­pole dance is great for kids and adults alike. No one dec­o­rates a May­pole with­out smil­ing. I have par­tic­i­pated and the end result is beau­ti­fully dec­o­rated pole, but the kids have a blast. The kids have all kinds of games, treats, and this event is mostly done for the children.

Historical Joss House in Weaverville, California

The other day I went to the fes­ti­val and my cam­era broke, so I thought to drop by the Joss House and take a few pho­tos.  The house is very old, the old­est con­tin­u­ously  used Chi­nese tem­ple in Cal­i­for­nia..  One of the only Joss house made of wood  in the entire nation.

The build­ing has ornate dec­o­ra­tions on it, and trim which is like no other.  The Joss house also has a small museum located just over the creek, which is where you pay to enter the Joss House.  If you are trav­el­ing through high­way 299 east or west you should take some time and check out the Joss House.  There truly is noth­ing like it any­where else.

The park facil­ity is located right on high­way 299, across from the High­land Art Cen­ter.  It is also near the Weaverville museum.

Ducks on the Trinity River


I love the ducks that fly in and out of the river. They are beau­ti­ful, but very hard to get pho­tos of, they always see me sneak up on them, so many of my pho­tos are of them rapidly leav­ing the scene.
