Spring already

Spring is pretty much here.  Satellite dishes, flower blooms, green plants.  All of them are signs of Springtime.

Fun at The Zoo

Went to the Zoo with my youngest Grandaughter.  We had so much fun.  Ask her to tell you all about the Tiger sometime.

The Flamingo Kid

Big Bullets

The soldier standing, holding the two bullets, is our father.  This photo was taken about 65 years ago when he was deployed in the China Burma India theater.  Thanks to him and all the other brave WW II veterans we still have our freedoms.

Morning Ritual

As I've gotten older these two liquids have become daily necessities first thing in the morning. . .

Visitor From The East

In his Brand New Car.  I even got to drive it.  It is very nice!  He used some of my pure West Coast water straight from the Colorado river to remove the traveling flotsam and jetsam from his faithful steed.

Skies above FAT

Saturday morning while watching my grand-daughters soccer team, The Crazy Monkeys, this huge plane flew over the field.  Click on the photo for a larger version.

Dogpatch

While exploring a closet I found this toy from my childhood.  I even have the original box too but it's in pretty rough shape.  Little Abner's Dogpatch Band was made by the Unique Toy Company in Newark, NJ circa 1946-1953.  I've seen them listed on EBay for half a grand.  I found the drumstick missing from Pappy's right hand since this picture was taken.

Photowalk 2010

I participated in the 3rd annual World Wide Photo Walk today.  Walked around SJC taking pictures with 40 + other photo nerds.  Here are some examples so far. . .

June Gloom

June gloom in July.  The gray mass you see in the background is the Pacific Ocean.  It will return, someday.
