Lake Tulloch

Had some business in Sonora and on the way back I took a detour to Lake Tulloch. Because of the time of day I couldn’t get a good shot of the lake.

Champagne Room

While in Phoenix at the gas station filling up my rental car I came across a large number of men’s club ads. It reminded me of Vegas where it’s just openly flaunted out in the street. Of course I had to pick up a couple, just for the blog you know.

Oakland Airport

Had to go to Phoenix today for quickie. I’ve always admired the wide southern view of the bay from terminal 3. Of course the 3D going to 2d… it doesn’t look all that impressive on the blog.

Dean Lesher

I found out that Jon was playing in Walnut Creek on the night before the show and he was nice enough to get us tickets. For the opening act, a pair of ex-Cirque du Soleil handstand acrobats performed as the orchestra played. It was quite impressive. Of course it goes without saying, it’s hard to outdo Jon.

Weekend in Paradise

UFC Fowl

The ducks are always entertaining. This morning I fed them and as usual there were all these duck fights. This is so funny for me because while the larger ducks fight for dominance, the younger ducks don’t care and just eat all the food. In this featherweight match Harold and Denny square off. They get in a clench. Harold gets …

Cosmo

Tonight we had another Fridate in the city. Sandy brought me to the Cosmopolitan Cafe, where we enjoyed a Ahi & Salmon Tartare appetizer & cocktails. For our entrees, Sandy ordered the pan seared Yellow Fin Tuna while I munched on the Sturgeon special. The shared desert was the Banana Pecan Galette. With full bellies …

Canon G9

I wanted to get rid of my G7 in favor of the upgraded G9, so I got a used one on Ebay.  A week later Canon announced the G10, Doh! Here’s one of my 1st shots with the G9 with our always grouchy model Judy (I don’t pay her OT).
