One evening at our house...

A wild turkey high up in the tree we have named (rather un-orignally)... the Turkey Tree! It's about 80 feet away and the vultures and turkeys "fight" their way to the top branches of this tree and sleep in it. Very odd...

Jeff took a spin on his dirt bike... which is for sale!

This is actually the MOON rising during the sunset. This picture is looking out from the front yard to the east, and doesn't really show how amazing this looked.

A close up of the moon...

Paula & Gary's House in Redding

Our friends have moved to Redding... they love it and I love their new house! The weeping willow tree is watered from an underground spring... this picture of the back yard doesn't really do it justice. However, the picture from the front yard shows the HUGE weeping willow towering over the house... amazing! My thanks for their hospitality!

Yosemite for Jeff's Birthday

Noah and Julie at the top of Vernal Falls.

Jeff and Julie at the bottom of Vernal Falls... this was where he stopped hiking!

Shellie and Jeff with the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir... note the waterfall in the far right lower corner... it was beautiful.

I went up to Mirror Lake while everyone else went on the hike... it was beautiful.

too tired to blog...

I just tried to post some pictures from our weekend in Yosemite with Julie and Noah. It didn't work... and I'm too tired to keep trying. Soon....

Rainbow closeup...

This was a "blop" in the sky in Eureka Saturday afternoon... and when I cropped it the pale blue sky around the "blop" looked like this. It was really amazing. Chris... when are you going to start your own blog???

Gorgeous rain kissed flower and MY weird cloud dark sky picture

We stopped at Benbow Inn for a pecan sticky bun and a cup of coffee the other day... and this flower was calling to me. (I only took two pictures, Rich). The picture below was one of many taken of the crazy sky... but my brother beat me to the punch with HIS picture! We are so amazing...
