If you drove through Nicasio, California, praying with eyes closed-tight, you might miss seeing Old Saint Mary's. Otherwise, you've got no excuse to miss framing up a little composition with camera or your mind's-eye.

Notice how I photographed the cross from the side, rendering it one straight line. Forgive me, dear Lord, for messing with your logo.

So here's the deal. The big thing in Nicasio is baseball. Besides having to watch out for errant baseballs, you've got to drive around the baseball field if you expect to motor through town. Most cars make the two required 90 degree turns, a few don't.

The OLD fire station and the new fire station in Nicasio. Photographic-proof that there has been progress in Nicasio over the past 150 years!

People back in civilization, not that far away, probably have no idea cows are grazing leisurely in a tiny town named Nicasio, over the hill to the west.

She's a dark-blue beauty and she's a Ford. And Nicasio is her home--an old truck stuck in time in the old town of Nicasio. Life goes on...
