Birds Forage on Pyracantha Berties

An almost Spring day in late January brought out myriads of birds for a feast.

In this shot, a plump Robin snatches a prized pyracantha berry. Within 15 minutes the berries were gone. Some Robins acted drunk--from the berries, and barely could fly.

Next post will show the bushes crowded with Robins.

Bellagio Panorama

The Bellagio's Conservatory was festive as ever. This year they featured penguins and polar bears. All the winter animals had fun skating, twirling and spinning.

Wonderful Weggie

I feasted on a Blue cheese wedge, along with a baseball size top sirloin. A special that was well-worth the $17.99. Great service at the Harris Ranch. Perfectly medium-rare. What a delight--yeah, wish you were here.

Harris Ranch Restaurant

We're on our way to Las Vegas, through LA. A nice stop is just after Coalinga at the fabled Harris Ranch, known for it's beef.

We arrived too early for the romantic Steak Room. But hope the meal will be great.

Early Dawn from Waikiki

First morning in Honolulu a few days ago. A quiet dawn awoke me to enjoy the tropics. The coming days would be filled with good times.

Rock Creek Lake #1

We're fishing today at Rock Creek Lake. Hard to concentrate with such beauty all around.

Wei, out of cell phone range--how nice!

Living It Up at Snow Creek

We've been enjoying our stay at a condo-home in Mammoth Lakes (Eastern Sierras). Three large bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. What luxury for a fishing trip.

More to come.....

Old-time Photo in New Era

We're going back, again. Fish or no fish. The place grows on you. Too beautiful. Too serene. Too old. 

Going to the Eastern Sierras rejuvenates you. Maybe there is a god. And religion may not matter. Just be at peace. Soon.

Pano of Eastern Sierras

We visited the Hot Springs Trout Hatchery. To the West were the magnificent Sierras. Though thunder clouds formed overhead, the peaks towered over the landscape.

Twin Lakes - Mammoth California

At the North end of Twin Lakes is quiet Vista Point. You mainly see Upper Twin, with the mountains of Lower Twin rounding out the scene.
