Backyard Ganesha497 viewsGanesha, the elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, bankers, scribes, and authors.

Library zoo496 viewsExotic beasts prowl the library; one of them stalks an old-style telephone.

Desert Diorama494 viewsPart of the Spirit of the West exhibit, which offers a walk through time, beginning with a stroll past a Northern Paiute shelter and a fur trapper’s camp, continuing through a Hudson’s Bay Company fort, past an Oregon Trail wagon, through a hard rock mine, then a settler’s cabin and finally the boomtown of Silver City.

Persons of tender sensitivities on ethnic, environmental, or animal rights issues may want to skip this section. In other words, if you don't have an easygoing sense of humor, bugger off.

Surveyor's Wagon493 viewsFur trapping gave way to mining and other activities in the mid-1800s. This wagon appears to be a vehicle for a surveying expedition.

CIA492 viewsFormerly the Christian Brothers Winery., now known as CIA Greystone.

Contemplating the fate of Castoroides492 viewsSandie laments the extinction of the giant beaver Castoroides, thinking it might have provided her with a fine fur coat in its heyday, and wondering if we're next.

Pawnbroker Balls492 viewsThree golden balls are traditionally associated with pawnbrokers. This usage originated in medieval Lombardy, Italy, where merchants hung the balls outside their shops to proclaim their métier. However, there doesn't seem to be any pawnshop here, unless...

Fire damage491 viewsFire-damaged area adjoining the Crestmont property

Hemispherical Tree491 viewsAlthough it partially blocks the view of the lake, this stately tree is an essential accoutrement of the back yard as well as a feast for the eye.

Party on the Patio491 viewsLeft to right: Nick, Sandie, and our hosts Sarah and Mike.
