Seals at La Jolla

La Jolla is just on the north side of San Diego; it's an absolutely amazing place because of not only it natural beauty, but the fact that these seals come to rest here every night. Over thirty years ago, the city constructed a barrier to soften the waters in this one area so that children could play more safely here ... low and behold, here come the seals!

San Diego Zoo ...

Such an amazing place, but being this is California, I think they all knew that they were celebrities! Say "CHEESE"!

It's good to be home ...

After being in San Diego last week, it's good to finally be home. I will post some more images, but here's a few to get started ... it was absolutely beautiful.

Somewhere out there ...

The same moon, a different place with a little different horizon. The weather here is beautiful; it kind of reminds me of Pleasantville -- 72 degrees in the morning, 72 degrees at night -- well, close enough :).

Harvest Season is Upon Us ...

The great part about the end of summer has always beens the fact that harvest season is just around the bend. It is truly an experience to help farm during this time of the year -- there's so much anticipation as to how the crops are yielding, if the weather will cooperate, or even what part of the machinery is going to break down. It's exhilarating, and at the end of the day, one is exhausted ... but it feels goods, and you can actually see what progress has been made.

The above images were taken on Saturday while my dad harvested the soybeans; the dust created by the beans just hovered above the fields until it finally settled, created a magnificent sunset. The other two show my dad combining.
