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.
Solitude near sunset...

First Fish at Lake George

Here's the treasure. Rainbow Trout aught by Danny Chong in the early afternoon. I couldn't believe he nabbed this fish with a Kassmaster (blue & silver).
For all fishermen out there, we wish you were here.

Eastern Sierras

George Lake, Eastern Sierras. We've got some trout! Kastmasters lures do the job.

Father's Day Special

My wife Diana whipped up a wonderful mushroom/cheese omlette, fit for a king. Or should i say, "Kings?" We gorged on the dish, all too fast.

Another Location Quiz


Yes, this is an enclosed fireplace. It's big, as you can see.
Can't figure it out? Hey, it's near Manteca, in a rather large store.

PS: the last place (last week) was in Clayton. At Cup o' Jo's. That also where Canesa's Brooklyn Heros are created. Good stuff.

Okay, Where Is This?


I'll give you a hint. It's in Clayton California. Nice cozy place with some killer lunches.

At least try a guess....

Summer's Just Around the Corner


There's nothing as bright as a yellow spot of gold to announce the transition to summer. The orange garland around it's center, this one's ready for gracing the table....or maybe just left to enjoy the sun outside.

Spring Day at Sonoma


We enjoyed the great Spring day in Sonoma's city square. After dining at a superb Portuguese restaurant, LaSalette (Cozinha Nova Portugesa), we rolled out to enjoy the sites. I really should have taken a nap after that wonderful lunch, but I had to drive back to Napa Valley, amid some gorgeous landscapes in wine country.

Life is good....
