E is for the town I currently call home, Eureka CA. Frequently confused with the imaginary town that hosted the TV show of the same name, the Eureka where I live has a history more in lumber and less in science fiction.
The Carson Mansion, built by lumber big shot John Carson, is one of my favorite buildings to photograph. The eclectic Victorian architecture draws my eye every time I stroll past.
We are lucky enough to have a park with a beautiful Redwood Grove right here in town. Sequoia Park is a beautiful place to spend a morning with my camera watching the light filter through the majestic trees.
My favorite thing to photograph in Eureka comes around every July. Sequoia Gardens grows the most gorgeous array of dahlias I have ever seen. You can find me there at least once a week through the summer months perusing the different colors and photographing these beautiful flowers.
I count myself lucky to live in such a beautiful area, with so many different things to see.
