Just a visit to Idaho State Capitol:

Where the State's business gets done

The Idaho State Capitol is a beautiful place to visit. I was there when it wasn't in session and everyone was gone. 

The Work of Maynard Dixon

 

Maynard Dixon is considered one of the finest artists who dedicated their work to the Southwest United States landscapes and cultures from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. I was able to see his work at the Nevada Museum of Art:

Maynard Dixon was an amazing artist and I really love his work. So happy to see this exhibit. 

A Visit to AppleHill 2024

 

I went up to area known as AppleHill outside of Placerville, Ca. I haven't gone for a couple of years and it was packed with people. Didn't get to too many farms as there were a lot of people and traffic was super crazy, but I did get to a few:

And there were a couple of other things up there:

Didn't get to some of my favorite places for food items, but I did get a little something:

Apple Donuts 

AppleHill is still pretty cool, but I need to go during the week or something as on weekends it is getting to busy:

Music Monday: Winter is on the Way

 Thanksgiving is right around the corner and days are getting shorter. We still have a little over a month until the official beginning of winter, but here are some songs about the season:

Hope everyone has a great week and stays warm over the next couple of months. Hopefully it doesn't get too cold.

A Veterans Comic Con

 

I went to the Veterans Comic Con over the weekend. It was held at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. Besides seeing some really wonderful artistic work, it is also promoting well-being for Veterans and being able to connect with fellow Vets:

There was some CosPlay going on:

And it was cool to meet fellow Vets who are doing amazing work with their own comics and art:

Nicholas Garza

Hikari

Eugene Randolph Young

Edward Coffey

And Roger "Hummin_H2" was there with his work:

It was a really good time and I am glad that I went.

Welcome to Klay Area: A Tribute to Klay Thompson

 

Klay Thompson was icon for the Golden St. Warriors for 13 seasons. He helped turned the team from an also-ran into four-time NBA Champions. Sadly in the summer of 2024, he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. Klay left a huge mark on the Bay Area and its fans. 

I went to a pop-up art show that paid to tribute to Klay in art:

And I was able to meet two of the artists:
