Bagras (Painted Gum) Eucalptus deglupta

While Chris and Karen were sipping their wine I was wandering the grounds and taking pictures.

On our way back to San Francisco we stopped at Bouchaine Vineyards. Chris and Karen did a wine tasting and I walked around taking photos.

Wine Tasting

Chris and Karen did some wine tasting in the town of Yountville while I walked around and took pictures (I was the designated driver). It was 102 degrees…

We stayed one night at the Napa Valley Lodge in Yountville. We all agreed a second night would have been nice. Our room looked out on the courtyard…

Napa Valley

Happy Spring! I think today and tomorrow are going to be in the high 40s/low 50s so that will feel nice. After that we go back down into…

Jogger

As usual, at this time, I’m ready for Spring! Looking forward to some warmer weather so I can take walks (maybe a jog) in the early morning.

Beach Birds

This photo was taken last week on a windy day at Nelson Beach (same day I met Penelope Pig). I always like how the birds lineup and point…

Bird Feeder Stand

I liked the look of how the snow landed on the bird feeder stand. Today it might be covered or blown away.    

More Snow…

We had snow a few days ago but that was only a few inches. They say we could get up to 2 feet tomorrow. I may be packing…

Penelope Pig

Yesterday, I went to the dentist and decided to make a quick stop at Nelson Park. Well, it wasn’t as quick as I thought it would be as…

Thank you to Mom for reminding me that I forgot to post a blog photo! Wasn’t working from home today so it threw off my whole schedule. Not…

It’s been a while since I’ve taken the Red Line train and even longer since I’ve taking it to the Cambridge side. 

Charles River Pillars

We had a nice stretch of mild weather. The next few days are back to winter temps.

Arthur Fiedler Memorial

The Arthur Fiedler Memorial is pretty cool for a giant head (as apposed to the scary giant baby head)!  “Local artist Ralph Helmick created this gigantic head from…

Pedestrian Bridge on the Charles

I think there was only one other person walking the Charles River the morning I was out taking photos. Everyone else was jogging. And I mean everyone! I…
