Had a visitor today… Sandy talked me into letting him leave the property with just a warning. I almost threw him in the lagoon.

Miltonia 2010
The Miltonia is blooming…
Sonoma County Fair 2010
Today we decided to run up to Santa Rosa because we have never been to the Sonoma County Fair. We were looking participate in a sophisticated cultural event… okay it was really to see Splash Dogs, Acro-Cats and maybe even get in a Derby Dog Dash.
Annibirthery II
Tonight we celebrate our 2nd annual Annibirthery. August is the month for Rick & Jon’s birthdays, as well as wedding anniversaries for the Kung’s, Yuen’s & the Goya’s. This year we met at the Crouching Tiger in Redwood City.
Bugs Life
From this morning…
Max’s
Today we met for lunch at Max’s in Milpitas. After a 45 minute wait, we dined on Lumpia fresh and fried, Fried Chicken, Pancit, Sisig & laing. I got so excited I forgot to photograph everything. We’ll be eating leftovers for dinner.
Miltonia
About a year ago I purchased a Miltonia orchid at the hospital in Walnut Creek. The flowers were in bloom and I figured that will be the only time I see it, but unexpectedly it appears to be ready to bloom. I’d love to be able to tease my Father about this.
Potato Land
Had to make a trip to Idaho. Unfortunately for me the worlds largest Basque festival started the day I arrived. I could not get a car rental reservation to save my life. I ended up taking a taxi for a 50 mile drive… $150 each way. This took so much time that I missed my flight back home. I rewarded myself by eating a Vietnamese lunch/dinner.
The account was located on Mountain Home Air Force Base which was my last assignment before I discharged from the military. I brought my camera thinking I was gonna be able to drive to the river to photograph it, yeah right.
Free Concert
Tonight we spent our evening at San Jose State University enjoying a free concert on the lawn. It’s rare that photography is allowed at the concerts and I’ve been trying to get a photo of Jon playing the piano. Never have I captured the intensity of the moment. I’ll keep trying it’s only been 12 years.
A couple from this morning…
