Flowers in the neighborhood

It was a beautiful day today so I got up out of my recliner and rode around the neighborhood and took some pictures of the flowers that are currently in full bloom. This is the most beautiful time of the year and I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful array of colors in the neighborhood before the heat takes over in about two months...

Spring is in the Air!

Spring is in the air...actually, it's been spring around here for about a month now...and...springtime means flowers in bloom. Here are some pics of flowers I have photographed on the West Coast from Washington to the foothills near where I live.

Easter Break Pics

Here are a few pictures I recently took during Easter vacation. During Easter I took a trip up to the Bay Area and then came home and took a couple of local day trips to the mountains and Lake Isabella to see the wildflowers.

The Ocean Part I

There is perhaps nothing more relaxing than falling asleep at the beach to the sounds of the ocean waves. While most Californians flock to the beaches of Southern California just give me the quiet and unpopulated beaches of Northern California and Oregon. Speaking of Oregon, in my humble opinion, the southern and central coast of Oregon is the most beautiful coastline in the U.S. Big Sur and Highway I get most of the big time publicly but the Oregon Coastline is spectacular and breathtaking, especially on a clear day. Tall green grass, flowers bursting with color, and a forest that reaches the coastline, is all part of the splendor and beauty of the Oregon Coast. All of the pictures on this particular blog entry are of the Northern California, Oregon, and the Washington Coast.
