#MacroMonday #Gardening #SanDiegoGarden #Photography In mid-september, I planted two rows of trionfo violetto and blue lake pole beans. They are now in full bloom, loaded with blossoms and in some cases are producing the first baby string beans🙏 Should start picking them in about a week!

#Stunday #FullMoon #SoCal #Photography Wishing y’all a great sunday night and a good week ahead! The moon is a day away from a full moon as it rose over our local mountain, Palomar mountain, tonight as seen from the backyard!

#Moonlight #SoCal #Photography #Evening Oh my, I just caught the moon taking a rest on my patio chandelier 😍🙏!

#Scape #Rainbow #StormPassing #SoCal #SanDiego #Photography Rain just passed, and the sun came out to light this rainbow in the most intense light! With that, I wish y’all a great Friday night and a wonderful weekend ahead!

#Sunset #SoCal #SanDiego #Cloudscape #Photography Photos of the stormy horizon, taken ten minutes apart, and showing how quickly the sun loses interest in the clouds and moves upward! These storm clouds moved into Arizona and Utah today, where they caused big problems… hail, flood, even tornadoes!

#ColorADay #BlueTuesday #SoCal #BluePacific #Photography #Art #GetOutside We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year… Pink Floyd Wish you were here.

A submission for #BlueTuesday and also for #WackyArtWednesday. It is a photo I created outside, using daylight, blue water and some props I had. It was a submission to the San Diego International Exhibition of Photography a few years ago. #Art #Photography

#RockinTuesday #Travel #Photography #SoCal #DesertPond A fine winter day gazing at the pond behind Barker Dam at Joshua Tree NP in Southern California. The pond only fills during relatively wet fall and winter conditions, more often than not, you will just find a primitive dam, and nothing else!

#MountainMonday #Travel #JoshuaTree #SoCalDesert #Winter #Photography A high desert view in Southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park. I was a little bit lost after getting off trail a bit past Barker Dam, but only for about 45 minutes 🙏

#SmallBirdSaturday #Birdfeeder #Photography Rush hour at the feeder, as a rather large family of Spice Finches swooped in for their evening meal 🙏

#RockinTuesday #BlackWater #Travel #SoCal #RoadTrip #JoshuaTreeNP #Photography Black waters, so mysterious, dammed behind Barker Dam and surrounded by granite boulders. Joshua Tree National Park, California.

#StormyWeather #SoCal #WarmShelter #Photography Stormy skies, but the warm glow of shelter gives promise of a cozy night ahead!

#Rain #Dogs #SoCal #SanDiego #Photography OK, so we finally get some nice, warm rain here in SoCal… and my little sidekick, Mochi, is squinting with every single drop! She’s telling me it’s time to get inside 😂😍👏☔️!

#StormyWeather #SoCal #Autumn #Photography The wind is kicking up and blowing the summer dust off the palm trees! The afternoon sky from my backyard as tropical storm Rachel is approaching San Diego, California.

#OctoberSky #Autumn #SoCal #Photography San Diego County has been sweltering in a historic, record breaking heat wave ! Finally, after 105 degrees (41c) this afternoon, it is becoming somewhat pleasant 🙏 out in the backyard ! Can’t wait for some rain !

Two, maybe even three, very similar looking thunderclouds are lining up for a #CloudScape or #StormScape through this afternoon. A very nice, and ever changing #Scape to capture our attention on this early autumn afternoon 😍🙏!

#Thunderstorm #Cloud #Photography Two hurricanes, Odalys and Polo, are currently churning off the Mexican west coast and slinging tropical moisture into California! This is causing thunderstorms to build up over our local mountains and desert, giving us beautiful skies and sunsets to enjoy 😍🙏!

#MorningFog #Autumn #SoCal #Photography Appropriate for the first day of autumn, a light fog was greeting me as I was walking the dogs around the backyard this morning.

This gorgeous day in #MonumentValley is a good fit for #BlueSkyMonday ! And if the mittens qualify as mountains… then let’s go with #MountainMonday as well 🤗 #Photography #Travel

#Stunday #OrangeSunday #Backyard #Photography Nothing exiting happened all weekend. Just took advantage of a break in the hot weather to fix some things around here. But then, sunday evening came, with this gorgeous sunset to reward me for my hard work 😓! Have a great week y’all!

#Travel #QueenMary #MainDeck1930 #ArtDeco #Photography So glad this ship is still available for all of us to enjoy… A stay on this ship/hotel is like the closest thing to time travel!

#Clouds #Rain #Mountains #Photography #SoCal Clouds and rainfall over San Diego county, in this view from the mountains toward the pacific ocean! We’re all hoping that this is an early indication of ample rainfall with the promise of a strong El Niño coming our way 🙏 My daughter took this photo 😍

#Travel #Bavaria #Photography A few years ago, i took my daughters, age 18/21, on a trip to Germany to visit relatives in their ancestral home and celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday. We had lunch at the famous Hofbräuhaus in Munich, where my 18 year old took full advantage of the local drinking age!

#Elk #Arizona #Payson #Photography A bull Elk, resting this morning in the backyard of my sister in law, in Payson, Arizona. This is right in town and not at all unusual! SIL took this photo.

#Autumn #Persimmon #BackYardFruit #Photography Early September, and my very first ripe persimmon of the season! For sure now, fall is just around the corner. It’s going to be a good season for persimmon, so much fruit on the trees that several branches have broken 😱

#Sunset #SoCal #MountainMonday #Photography Our warm and humid weather sure makes for some pretty clouds yesterday and today! Sunset over the Fallbrook valley, prominently featuring our water tank, and on the center right is Mt San Jacinto.

#Stunday #Stormy #SoCal #BackyardSunset #Photography The first rain since March is falling here in San Diego county. And yet, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset! A warm and damp evening on the patio, so nice when that happens here in late summer 😍🙏💙!

#Stunday #StormyWeather #SoCalRain #Photography Blue skies made room for dark clouds here in SoCal! Ominous looking, but really warm and humid… maybe an early sign of El Niño? The view is over my neighbors roof, showing all of Mount Palomar and a big sky in San Diego County!

#WileECoyote #ACME #Movie #Travel #Photography Having just watched the Coyote vs ACME movie reminded me of how long I’ve been a fan of Wile E! Here I am, in 1997, visiting Bavaria, wearing my official WB T-shirt with Wile E Coyote embroidered on the pocket… upside down, of course! Super Genius!

Don Francisco Avila’s boots and saddle are waiting for their owner to come ride again. Don Francisco built the Avila Adobe in 1818, now the oldest standing residence in Los Angeles on Olvera Street. #B&W #Travel #Adobe #LosAngeles #Photography

#ForestFriday #Scape #Adventure #Redwood #Photography The road ahead gets narrow as it twists its way through the giant coastal redwood forest on the way to find the lost coast region of California.

#Scape #Travel #Photography California gold! A vineyard, in the midst of golden grassland. Mendocino County, California.

#Sunset #GoldenHour #SoCal #ValleyView #Photography A backyard view toward the southeast of San Diego County. The soft pink glow is typical for this time of year. Clouds behind our mountains are bringing monsoon rains to our local desert, and hopefully soon, a little rain will be falling here too 🙏

#Gardening #Melons #OrganicProduce #Photography Not only does gardening provide a certain calming, therapeutic effect, it also provides fabulous produce! My tomatoes were a bust this year, but squash and melons 🍈 are doing great! Another week or so for these beauties 😍🙏👏

#Roadrunner #Travel #Photography #MonumentValley A roadrunner just passed me… so I pulled over, and now I’m waiting for #WileECoyote to come by on some crazy fast #ACME device!

#Travel #MoabUtah #Jeep #Photography #Adventure Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel. Let it roll, baby roll… The Doors. And hope no one comes the other way 😱!
