Fountian at Artesa Winery

Here is a photo of the lovely fountain at the Artesa Winery in Napa. This picture was taken on a nice sunny day last spring.

The Obama Bus !

At work this morning at about 9:30a my coworker came breathless and excited
into the building saying "Come see the Obama Bus!" So I walked to the street behind our building to the smog station where the Obama bus was being smoged. It was fantastic. very bright and psychedelic. Notice the red ring on the top. It is a giant peace sign that stands up. The top of the bus is actually two Volkswagen vans that were gutted and placed into the top. We all marveled at it and of course I was the only one with a camera. Some of my older coworkers were trippin'. I think they were having flashbacks to their younger days in the 60's. Their summer of love, Height Ashbery and wearing flowers in their hair. It was groovy. Peace man!


The side had pictures of burning man, Jimmy Hendricks, Forest Nymphs and planets.


The front looked like some sort of Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Happy Election Day

I do not care who you vote for. (Well I do, but I won't get into that here) Just get out and VOTE

Another Fall Photo

It has rained for the last 3 days, but since you know what rain puddles look like
I thought I would post one last fall foliage photo. Took this last weekend off Eldhers
Rd in St. Helena.

Another Victorian Mansion

Front of the Mansion


View of the side of the Mansion
This is the George E. Goodman Jr. house on the corner of Randolph and Oak in downtown Napa. Built from 1875 to 1899. The scale is so grand it is hard to capture in one photo. So here are two.

The Holden House

This is the Holden Mansion on the corner of Franklin and Pine in downtown Napa. It was built in 1888. I need to read the wooden sign out front to get the history. The front yard is done up for Halloween.
