Scenes from Californee

I wanted to post some photographs from the various places we've been since we've been here, and just some nice shots.

First is a shot of Highway 41, the "Southern Yosemite Highway" as it winds through the town center of Coarsegold.


Here is a shot of a foggy morning in our backyard. Yes, this is our backyard...beats a manicured lawn anyday!!!
In this shot the sun sets in the Ponderosa Basin where Amy's parents live. The clouds as you can see hover at a slightly higher elevation than we are.

The moon rises through a gnarled tree one cool winter's night.
We drove up to Millerton Lake Recreation Area which, although pretty much abandoned during the winter months, was still quite scenic.One weekend we all drove north to Sacramento for a party at Amy's sister's place. The riverfront is lined with historic buildings and ships, one of which is this riverboat.

On our way down to San Diego for Amy's aunt's wedding, I of course stopped in my favorite place to watch planes...Imperial Hill overlooking the main runway at Los Angeles International Airport.
San Diego's waterfront is currently sporting a patriotic Model T.
A sailing ship cruising the San Diego Harbor.
The massive bulk of the aircraft carrier USS Midway towers above the water. This ship is now a naval museum.
The sun sets over the Pacific on the beach at Del Mar, just north of San Diego.
Hope you enjoyed the photos!
