Yesterday I woke up early to water the plants and noticed our royal star magnolia tree is blooming. Later we had brunch at the new Mexican restaurant in town, Otaez. Sandy had the 3 taco (lengua & fish) plate & I had the huevos con chorizo.

Flora
Woke up this morning to find a foggy Sunday. I love days like this, so I picked up my S90 and just shot some stuff in the backyard.
Hummer
As I was out this morning watering the plants this stupid Humming Bird kept taunting me. So I shot him… 105 times. That’s not an easy task as those little b*stards are really fast.
Grants Pass Oregon
I’m stuck out here in Grants Pass Oregon til Thursday with not much of anything to do. You could say Grants passing time in Grants Pass. Oh I crack myself up, I’ll be here all week in the LaQuinta lobby, thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. It’d be even better if I can manage …
Sunset Photo

A trip in my shoes

Puttin’ on the Ritz
To celebrate 2010 we decided to spend New Years Day at the Ritz at Half Moon Bay. We reserved a suite and shared it with Mommi & Daddy. Dinner was at Navio in the hotel. I ran into Tyler Florence at the entrance, I was so excited I didn’t think to photograph him. We savored …
Headphones
I’ve never understood why people settle for the cheap stock headphones/earbuds that come with every consumer portable audio device. This last trip to Oregon I lost my Bose earbuds. This is probably the 4th time I’ve either lost or destroyed a great pair of headphones while traveling. Let’s see, great audio and the heart wrenching …
