Had a little time to play with Dakota….. she is so much fun….

Well from time to time it’s fun just to go out and be entertained…….  For me this doesn’t happen too often….  Normally I am always working, taking photos….  Last night was just a night of fun…  Went down to little restaurant in Santa Cruz enjoyed the playing of the incredible guitar player I mean this guy makes it sing…… Jon Mulvey…..  Anyway had a great time and got this one click of Jon playing…..  Not the best shot but it does show the mood…and the mood was good….. Thanks Jon….

Well it’s been a few days…  But when I woke up yesterday morning it was cloudy, it was dark, and very cold.  But I thought was a perfect day to go out and shoot….So with a few friends we were off…..  Ended up at Rodeo Cove…..  As the fog came in the beach became kind of another world….  And the fact that it was very cold not many people on the beach…  Which was nice….  As I wandered down the beach and found this formation of rocks…..  And as I stood there it made me think what was it like when the first European explorers set foot on the beach like this one….  They must have truly believe they were in another world….

As I was sitting at one of my favorite coffee shops…..down on the water…just kicking back watching the sunset…. there really is a reason for always having your camera with you….. not your cell phone {sorry} but a camera…. because the sky suddenly turned this amazing red…. and it only stayed for a few moments…. now I’m really not a red sunset person….. but I still got the click….. just no better way to enjoy that cup of coffee…..just watching the show…..

Decided to take a quick trip North… Ended up in Portland, Oregon… Needless to say it was cold although it didn’t rain there was to a bit of moisture on the ground… Driving up as I passed Mount Shasta, I couldn’t help but notice so little snow… On the way back the clouds came in it was just before sunset, most of the sky was a dark blue as I looked up to Mount Shasta again I notice the lack of snow… Then suddenly the sun in one last ditch effort sent a beam of light the bounce off the top of the mountain….Lucky for me I had my camera… Here’s the click…. enjoy

stop by to visit some old friends… got a few clicks..

Definitely a fun weekend… Went to club Fox and saw a great show with Davey Pattison and the band…. Also added a new print my gallery I call it four friends… it was a photo I took when I was up at muir woods….. The print came out really nice here is the 2 prints…..

Sometimes it’s the simplest of things that can make your day bright…… Sometime it’s just the joy of your granddaughter smile….
