We returned home yesterday from Chula Vista RV resort. We had a great three and a half days in our 5th wheel trailer.
While there, we discovered that a vintage and vintage look trailer group was also spending the weekend. Above is one of the many wonderful trailers we were invited to see. Continue reading
Last week my photography class took a field trip to Dana Point Harbor. The class was scheduled to meet at 12:00, but I arrived early so I could enjoy a little extra time. The instructor had suggested we wear jackets because it was forecasted to be in the 60s, but it turned out to be t-shirt weather, with a gentle breeze perfect for sailing.
Westwind Sailing has been part of the Harbor for many years and here you see a class out for a lesson. Their boats are easily spotted with their bright yellow sails.
Coincidentally, I’d been to Dana Point the night before, to meet friends for dinner and a walk around the harbor. I hadn’t been to Dana Point since the Christmas boat parade, and suddenly I was there two days in a row.
A few of my photography classmates looking for the perfect photo opportunity. Later, some of us enjoyed a cup of coffee with our instructor. It was a fun way to end a wonderful day.
Baby goats are so adorable. Daisy is our daughter Ruth’s goat. Ruth, our son-in-law, and grandson live on a beautiful farm in Maine. This photo was taken shortly after Daisy had her two little boys. They’re sound asleep in their cozy bed. Continue reading
It’s a rainy day in Southern California, so I decided to go for my walk at the mall. Continue reading
It’s Thursday which means it’s Artist Date Day. In my last post I showed the African Violet Pot I’m making in my slip casting class, and even though it will be a couple of weeks before I finish the project, I thought it would be fun to select a new plant. A visit to the local nursery would also be the perfect place for this week’s Artist date, because it’s certainly colorful and has a creative atmosphere. Both are requisites for an Artist Date.
I love the green house at the nursery where they keep the African violets and orchids. Here are only three of the many gorgeous plants I saw while browsing.
It’s a good thing that I traveled by motorcycle and not car today, or else I would have come home with more than just the one African Violet.
After this lovely white orchid I’ll leave you with a splash of color.
It really was the perfect place to go for this week’s Artist Date.
