Ray and I just spent a week in Yucaipa. It is a beautiful place. It is very warm in summer. Yucaipa has seasons and it is beautiful in Fall. The colors of the trees are incredible. Our oldest daughter just bought a house out this way. So with my new Fujifilm 100S II I thought I would take some pictures We were staying at the Regional Park. It is an amazing campground. These are some pictures I took during a walk around. The pictures you see are after using Abode Light Room.
Rayleen and I spent a beautiful week in and around Petaluma, a rural community, about an hour north of San Francisco and, with its chicken and dairy production, is considered the egg capital. It is a fun place to visit, with several eating and drinking places. We have visited including, but not limited to: Lagunitas, Brewsters, Hide-A-Way, and Buckhorn. We went to Copperfield Books and visited Point Reyes Station, passing Marin French Cheese Company on the way. In Point Reyes, the site of several film locations including The Fog, Village of the Damned, and Dr. Dolittle, we visited Tobys, a lovely book store, The Western bar (once visited by Prince Charles!) and then went to John Muir Woods. This place is so popular you need reservations, and it does not disappoint. Beautiful redwoods tower over John Muir Woods and great hikes are in abundance. We also went to Healdsburg in Sonoma county which rivals Napa in wine production. The town square of Healdsburg was the site of a Halloween celebration with interesting scarecrows around town. We finished off the week with a nice little hike near Sebastopol with our daughter, Kelsey, and her husband, Mark. Petaluma is a place we will return to soon.
Ray and I took a little day trip to to Encinitas, Solano Beach, Luecadia, and few other close places. Many of these places were old surfing destinations for my friends and me. It was a great day; such a beautiful area. Many good memories. Also found a great bar on Coast Highway.
Rayleen and I just got back from a three week vacation. We went all the way up to Astoria, Oregon. We stopped in many beautiful places. I just wanted to share a few pictures from places like: Patrick’s Point, Mad River, Sequoia Park, Umpqua, Winchester Beach, Astoria, and so many other amazing places. Please enjoy and feel free to share your thoughts. America is beautiful go see it.
Ray and I have a great trip to Barcelona; a city full of culture and art. We went up to Girona and Figures and took in a flower festival and the Dali Museum and Theater. We went south to Stiges a friendly vibe beach town full of charisma and charm. The city itself was composed of beautiful streets, museums, cathedrals, sculptures and so much else. Hope you enjoy these new pictures.
Ray and I took a little day trip to Windansea Beach and Mission Bay. Windansea is a beautiful beach located in La Jolla. The beach has great waves, clean beach, surfers, sun bathers, and a funny little shack. Mission Bay is much different. You probably already know about Sea World or Belmont Park. We went to the beaches of Mission Bay, some bars on the beach, and Fiesta Island. Fiesta Island has a protected area for bird nesting, it is pet friendly, has a youth camp, and has some rustic beaches. We enjoyed out day down in the San Diego area.
In mid March, Ray and I took a vacation up near Pescadero, between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. We decided to try and take some time to visit as many beaches as we could between the rains. We had a great time. It is a beautiful area and the beaches are outstanding. Hope you enjoy. There are pictures from both Ray and myself.
Hopefully you’ll find the following photographs as interesting and meaningful as we found them. On our 51st anniversary Rayleen, my wife, and I went to some of our favorite places. The north coast of California is amazingly beautiful. Point Reyes National Seashore is not only beautiful, but teaming with wildlife. We saw coyotes, Thule Elk, deer, a river otter, a Bob Cat, Vultures, Elephant Seals, Harbor Seals, a Golden Eagle, hawks and many other birds. In Carmel we saw Sea Otters. It was a great trip. These are places I definitely want to go to again. Please feel free to leave comments below.
This has been an amazing last couple of days! This is more of a two day trip, maybe even a three day trip. On this adventure we went through La Quinta to Salton Sea where I got stuck in fish bone quick sand, then to Bombay Beach, then on to Salvation Mountain, Slab City, East Jesus and finally to an over night in Calexico. The next day we headed for Mexicali, Mexico, Plaster City, the last operating non tourist narrow gauge in the United States, Jacumba and finally home. This was two very full days. Quite a fun adventure!
We took a little trip to Santa Cruz and I thought it would be great to get some pictures at Maverick’s Beach. Well that didn’t work out. But I thought I’d put a couple out anyway. I also went looking through some other pictures I plan to enlarge and thought I’d select a couple to to add to this post. Hope you enjoy.
