Before the Winter came...

Going Slow, Here's another Hawaii pic

So much to do, so little time...I'm sure I won't blog til next year...Happy, ummm, whatever you celebrate...

Sparrow in Hawaii

Got this shot of a sparrow while we "dined" on food at the USS Missouri, or affectionately called "Mighty Mo".

This makes a GREAT desktop wallpaper...enjoy!

Here's Just a Few Hawaiian Florals

All These Photos Today....

...are my way of keeping myself busy. I'm sick of house cleaning, so I had to get out to the local Park, complete with peacocks and blue herons. Just a few more days before our big trip to Hawaii.

This shot is over saturated, but I like it. Crap, I gotta get back to my anal house cleaning now. We're having my neice stay at the house while were gone, to watch the dog and cat too.

Blue Heron Shots are a wee bit Blurry

Speaking of Life Popping Thru...

Needs its own post

I love new life popping out of the old.

Morning Walk

The excitement is building --- Hawaii in SEVEN days! I'm kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop, like someone is gonna get sick or something is going to ruin this trip. Geez, I'm such a cynical pessimist.

Creepy House Down the Street

Freethought

Finding Old Photos again

To all Veterans, I wish you Peace!

Cactus

T-misus 14 days until Hawaii...sooo, look forward to those pics. I'm sure I'll have a months worth to post when we get back.

Fall Red, but not in the Leaves

Sunny Days are Here Again

Snail Hiding Spot

Impaled

Poor leaf was impaled by a cactus.

It never rains in California...

...But girl don't they warn ya....It pours, man it pours!

Really, this is the first rain since last February....I'm not kidding....(other than trace amounts). PLZ - CLICK ON THIS PIC!



This is the San Joaquin Valley. I'm surrounded my mountains, except the north to Fresno.

A Couple from Yesterday...

Love my View Finder

Morning Walk

One single Morning Glory.

Morning Walk...cont'd

Playing in Photoshop again

Morning Glory

These are the same flower. From the beginning of my walk.... and then, at the end of my walk....it really perked back up quick after 20 minutes, huh? I just used different angles.

Lone Red Leaf on my Jasmine

Another Boring Sunny Day in CA

This is boring to me, all the palm trees. I didn't use to be when I lived in Chicago. I'd go to either Florida of California and just fawn all over the palm trees. Now, eh, not so much....sad isn't it?

Can you see the little pecker in the tree, you gotta click the pic, to see him on the right? Woodpeckers love them.

Verbena with a lousy FLY on it

Going thru Old Pics again - from Feb. '08

This one is coming home from Las Vegas, first, through a bad rain in Las Vegas area and then a wicked sand storm in Barstow. But then a beautiful rainbow to lead us home thru Mojave. By oldest (12 at the time) took this pic thru the rain covered window.

Morning Walk

This is a SHOUTOUT to Bonnie, Illinois....thanks for visiting. How's the weather there? (My attempt at small talk...)

When I see that name, Bonnie, I think of when I was very young and thought I'd name my first child Bonnie. Well, I didn't, but I still remember that feeling of how much I loved that name.
