Redwoods in the Valley

It was a beautiful spring like day today, sunny with temps in the mid 60's. Went for a afternoon drive and took a photo of the Redwoods and brilliant green fields.

Lying in the Sun

It has been cold, overcast, foggy and dreary. In the mean time, here is a photo I
took at the pumpkin patch a couple of months ago. I wish I was just lying in the sun today like this guy.

January Theme: Best of 2008

O.K. I am late but wanted to share some of what I consider my best efforts for 2008. You have not seen these photos before because I never post my sailing photos on Napa Daily Photos because they are not of Napa. But I really liked the photo below and want to know that you guys think. I was sailing in July and had only brought my long lens on the boat. We left Alameda and sailed to the other side of the bay and I snapped this just as we were approaching the San Francisco Bay Bridge. That is San Francsico in the background. Hope you have a great 2009 and thanks to everyone who stops by my blog. Especially those who leave comments!


Below is my other favorite one. Once again the view is from a sailboat. The cloud formation is one that you probably will never see. We had just watched the blue angels airforce team fly overhead as part of the fleet week festivities. The squiggley clouds are the vapor trails from the jets.

One More Christmas Lights

OK, here is just one more. This is the house next door to where I took the picture posted yesterday. I could not believe the plywood cutouts. As you can see, Abdominal is taller then the house !

LIGHTS

I know Christmas is over, but I was late at getting out and seeing the lights. This house a few block from my sister's house was incredible. It was featured on Good Morning America. It is a court in Rohnert Park and not only is this one house decorated but the guy who owns the house provides decorations for his neighbors houses too. Click here to see a youtube video of the display.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas in the City

We went to the City (San Francisco) as we do every Christmas. It was rainy and the stores were virtually empty until late afternoon. The funnest part was cracking up while trying some outrageous, purple, knee high, white trash boots at Macy's.
