Sunrise

Woke up to a beautiful sunrise the other morning and just had to catch the morning sky.
Click on a photo and you can see the wind generators on the horizon.

Tribute to my father-in-law

From what I know of Don Stretch, he loved his family and
he loved to fish in Yaquina Bay and he loved his garden.
A man of many talents and a simple faith.
I know he is even happier now!

It is raining!

Woke up to wind and a little rain today. We had a one day of rain this summer and last time I remember rain or snow was back in March. Any moisture is welcomed. These were taken with the camera in my laptop.

Sunset at Avila Beach

We traveled over to the coast this summer. I grabbed a few shots in Avila before sunset. My dad said he used to come out to this little village to study many years ago when he attended Cal Poly. We love it!

Last look at the old depot

The old depot in Tehachapi was destroyed by fire during the summer while it was being restored. It has now been demolished with plans to rebuild a replica.

Our morning guests

My wife gets so excited when she sees a deer or family of deer out our back door. This is literally right above our back porch.

A tribute to my mom

We had an incredible poppy season this year and it seemed to last for some time.
I promised my mom some photos of poppies - so these are for you mom!
I miss you!

Longhorn Portrait

My next door neighbor has these beautiful animals. I can't resist photographing them.

The poppies are everywhere!

Poppies are painting the summit with a valley of orange.

Feets on the Beach

Well here's our try for our first feet photos.

Back to Balboa Island

Seems like its been ages since we were at the coast - on the beach.
Thanks to George and Abe, we got away for a few days to
one of our favorite spots.

We are definitely in the jet stream

I can't remember ever seeing this much snow on the mountains behind Sand Canyon on the way to Mojave. The snow has been awesome and a nice change from the long period of drought. We are getting ready for more rain and snow this weekend as three more storms hit the coast of California.
