Yesterday was the Strawberry moon, and one of my favorite things to do is watch the moon rise. This time it was the Strawberry moon.
I ran to get the camera and the moon had already risen above the treeline. I was expecting to see more red, as there was a fire close by, but it was clear. This isn’t red from the sky, it’s the exposure.
The Farmers’ Market in Weaverville, is every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Next week is the last week for the season. It’s held in the field next to the Highland Art Museum.
One of the vendors is Willow Creek Organic Farms, located down river, at Willow Creek. It’s about an hour or so from Weaverville heading to the coast.
Willow Creek Farm did such a nice job displaying their vegetables and fruits that I asked to take a photograph. The chalkboards were a nice touch to their display.
Here is a link to their website and their Facebook page.

Went swimming at this swimming hole today, it was very hot, and the water perfectly cool. It was also very refreshing and beautiful. There were kids there and adults jumping off the rocks, into the deeper parts of the water. Although there are still fires burning around this area, it happened to be pretty clear at the time we were there.
Although swim season is just about over, the days are still pretty hot, and I am sure people are still swimming now. The water is probably a bit cooler now. But in the hot days it’s refreshing. There are still many fires happening all around California and the skies can be a bit overcast, and smokey at times. Pictured here it was a smokey day.
