Mountain poppies!

I guess one of my all time favorite flowers is the California Poppy. They blume in hundreds of acres south of us in Lancaster and Palmdale on the backroad to Gorman. There is even a preserve for Poppies east of Lancaster. These gorgeous orange petals are in my own yard. God is good!

Friends and lovers of photography!

Ever since I posted photos from a friend who lives in China I have had other friends email me their photos. Well, I decided to post them. The first is from Randy, a colleague of mine, and the others are bluebonnets in the snow in Texas and and May snows in Colorado from Bobalouie. Enjoy!

Where the buffaloes roam

Well I decided to return to my neighbors mini ranch and try my hand at photos of the buffaloes. They are a majestic creature.

We love Oregon

As summer approaches Oregon is always on our mind. The beautiful ocean and wild beaches. Yes, you might have to bundle up, but its worth every minute.

My neighbor's mini ranch!

Well I guess it's time to getting blogging again - falling behind. There's a fellow around these parts that's raising some interesting critters. No really we have longhorns and buffaloes grazing up here at the summit! Awesome. The brahma and llamas are missing for now. They like the morning light.

Ducks, fishing, and flying a kite!

There's nothing like a day of feeding the ducks, making an imaginary fishing pole - fishing for hours - and then ending the day with flying a kite (Nemo). There is nothing like it - "Heaven on Earth!"

Tehachapi in the Green!

Tehachapi is beautiful and golf course green for a very short time in late March and April - so it's a great time to take photographs!
