Wildflowers @ Shell Creek Rd.

Jen and I took a trip out to Shell Creek Rd. a few weeks ago to see nothing really blooming yet.  I went out there today and was greeted with fields of yellow.  I was hoping for a bit more variety, but it could just be that i’m still a bit early.  At any rate, …

Leaning Pine Arboretum @ Cal Poly

Took a trip to the Leaning Pine Arboretum on Cal Poly’s campus.  Its out by the sheep.  It was really nice, even though I went mid-day some of the pics turned out not half bad.  This would be a great place to visit for anyone who enjoys flowers/plants and there were tons of birds there, …

SLO County Flickr Group Meetup

Never taken photos with a group of people before – it was a fun experience.  I will admit that I got easily distracted and talked more than shot, but it was a lot of fun.  Its amazing how completely different everyone was, and we all got along perfectly fine.

RIP – SLO Mission

I was heading out to lunch, passing through the Mission San Luis Obispo walkway and I saw this chunk of cement that someone had scrawled RIP on and propped up against the wall.  Thought about it the whole time I was eating lunch and decided to snap a pic of it on the way back …

Preggo Pics

Jen and I went out by the golf course and took some pics – trees with shade are a definite plus!  The preggo belly is definitely getting to be large – growing a little Pongie looks like hard work! There was a single flash camera left  on full power, about 45 degrees.

Parental Visit

Mom and Dad came down to visit this weekend, and they brought/cooked a TON of food!  Yay!  Nothing like comfort food to help you along while your wife is pregnant… that doesn’t sound right. Jen wanted a pic of us before the baby came since we most likely won’t have a chance to see my …

Sharp Aquos 46″ LCD Television

That’s right!  Jen and I picked up a new TV last night.  Now… to figure out if we can mount it above the fireplace or not.  I’m pretty sure it will be fine right there.  The 27″ CRT television that  Jen got me 9 or so years ago has served us well, but I think its …

Happy Birfday to Gene!

We drove up to Prunedale today and met Mom and Dad, then caravan’ed to San Jose – dropped the truck off at Mike and Mary’s, and then met Gene and Kristine for lunch.  Had a little coffee afterwards then headed back home.  Quick little day trip, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

CygNet Party

Stopped in Santa Barbara for the CygNet dinner party.  It was good, drunken times.  Well… not for me, I ran around and took pictures of everything.  And they let me!   Here, Chris Smith took the camera from me.  I am flanked by Mike and Chris here (from left to right).  Good times, good times… …

The J. Paul Getty Museum (“The Getty”)

This year’s annual CygNet party included a trip to The Getty followed by an awesome dinner banquet in Santa Barbara.   Chris and I spent almost the entire time there wandering outside taking pictures of the scenery, architecture (amazing) and random things scattered around the grounds. I was worried that it would be a horrible …
