August 3, 2022 The beginning of a new travel series.

I’m going to start a local travel series. It will usually features local excursions. The trips will usually be in California. The trips will be local to most people who view my website. Usually I will include a things to see and do list in the written section of the web page. This is the first and will not include everything I just mentioned. This little excursion was to Pismo Beach, Montana De Oro, Port Luis, Avila, and Los Osos.. All of these places deserve a visit or a stay.

Northern California Hiking

Ray and I went hiking up in Northern California. Mark and Kelsey were also on some of the hikes. Fun times visiting the beauty of Northern California. We also made a trip out to Jack London’s ranch which was very cool. We spent times in breweries and just enjoying nature. Here are a few of the pictures.

Petaluma April 2022

Rayleen and I went on an adventure up in Northern California. We wanted to enjoy the northern climate and the wide open spaces. Petaluma is known as the egg capital of the world. It is a dairy, farm and ranch land. So much of Petaluma is wide open spaces. The hiking, sightseeing and nature are inspiring. We had a great time, lots of rain and some good sunny days for hiking. Hope you enjoy.

March in Santa Cruz

We had a family camping trip and Ray and I were able to get out for a little hike along West Cliff Drive. It was pretty active so pictures were going to be a challenge. I would say these pictures were pretty fair, but nothing spectacular. Hope you enjoy.

It’s nice to get out and take some photos. Ray and I celebrated 49 years of marriage and we went up north to Northern California to celebrate. Taking pictures of redwoods is difficult because they are so big. But it was nice to get out. Hope you enjoy these pictures. But I tell you I definitely need a wide angle lens.

Well didn’t really get out to do some photography. So went back to look at a picture I’ve taken twice. Once in 2008 and then again in 2018. This is actually the 2008 picture when we were visiting friends in Juneau. Saw these building on a friend’s boat then saw the same buildings 10 years later and they looked the same. I enjoyed the colors and feeling like I was back on the Alaskan seas. Alaska is a beautiful part of our country. Hope you enjoy

Some exciting news for me. I had my first photo purchased off Adobe Stock and my first submission to a magazine accepted. The magazine is Model railroader. During May we were also in Idyllwild and Marin. The picture of Capitola was purchased, the train picture was accepted, the rock is from Idyllwild, and the Golden Gate Bridge was during our stay in Marin.
