Snow ... and 20 degrees this morning in Reno




We woke up to a light coating of snow on everything this morning. I liked the hose peaking out from the deck. Notice the subtle pattern made by the pavers that show through the snow?

One from Berkeley


Just last week-end I was in Berkeley for a workshop -- had a chance to explore 4th Street and wander around all the older buildings, lots of graffiti. This one is behind chain-link fence with a huge sign saying it is going to be rebuilt. Hope so, it's got lots of character, but looks like it needs a LOT of work.

Snow in the mountains.


What a difference a day makes -- yesterday I was enjoying the sunshine and spring flowers in Roseville. Today as I drive over to Reno, snow from about the 3,000 ft. elevation and more snow tomorrow. For today, though, I am enjoying the drive, the roads are clear, light traffic and clouds. Beautiful clouds.

Spring is here!!!!!


On the road between Antelope and Roseville, a few acres still undeveloped, just had to pull over and photograph this beautiful old oak.

Day lily

Spring is coming ... some time soon I hope. Meanwhile this day lily brightens up my kitchen.

Abandoned truck






Driving West on Hwy. 80 to the SF Bay area I spotted some abandoned farm equipment on a beautiful piece of property. I got off the freeway (near Fairfield) and drove back a short distance on the frontage road to find an abandoned farm. Someone many years ago, apparently walked away from the farm house, truck, tractors and other rusty pieces. Near the road was an abandoned, graffiti-covered, fruit stand. I liked this close up of the truck.

Art day

I'm in Redwood City today, granddaughter Ellery & her Dad & I are having an art day. She's experimenting with all the watercolor pencils at once. Fun results & fun afternoon.
