I been trying to photograph what I thought was a woody woodpecker. Now I found out it is a female Belted Kingfisher. I could not get a shot of her diving for a fish.


I had to throw in an Egret photo.

I been trying to photograph what I thought was a woody woodpecker. Now I found out it is a female Belted Kingfisher. I could not get a shot of her diving for a fish.


I had to throw in an Egret photo.

I believe it’s called a wolf moon.

I have number of miscellaneous photos from the numerous visits and outings during the holidays.





















While we were in the Philippines Brian & Drew turned me on to this incredible tasting rum.

Last day of 2019, of course we had to work… so dammit I bought a steak. Actually it was Brian’s last dinner with us so we threw it on the grill.



Later we dropped Brian off at Vanden’s.

Day after Christmas, off to Salinas. Unfortunately I didn’t take many photos.





Uncle Harry & Aunty Sharon brought an old newspaper that I just had to photograph.

We spent this years Christmas in San Diego. Our 1st stop was see my Ma and a great dinner at Furaibo, which I forgot to photograph. Mommi put in a request for my Ma’s tangerines. We were not ready for the response…




The following morning off to LAX for a Mommi & Brian pickup. From there 2hrs south to San Diego.























The traditional white elephant gift exchange.













The new Lapuz’s paid us a visit today. We had brunch at the Trailblazer Tavern. Thanks to Azee for the food fotos.










Every year our neighbors Eike & Spencer throw a German night market party. The usual suspects, great food & Eike’s mulled spiced wine. It started to raining so we quickly setup a white tent which worked to my advantage when taking these shots as the light bounced everywhere.









Thanksgiving madness as usual at Aunty Amy’s.
