Yesterday, Barbara, Toby and I drove to Yosemite Valley. This is the first time the three of us had ever been there during the winter, and right after a snow storm, so weren’t sure what we were going to encounter. The temperatures ranged from a low of 32 to a high of 39 while we were there.Continue reading “Winter in Yosemite”

This past Sunday several of our family members, including one granddaughter and one great grandson, enjoyed a fun day at the Sacramento Zoo.  Afterwards we all enjoyed a nice lunch.  I believe it was a fun day had by all. 

Last evening I drove north to Marysville in hopes of catching a nice sunset near the Sutter Buttes.  The Sutter Buttes is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s smallest mountain range.  Technically speaking, it is not a mountain range at all.  What it is is an extinct volcano.  Either wayContinue reading “Sutter Buttes Sunset”

I took some photos, explored the beach a little more and then headed back home. Unfortunately, the photos that I took yesterday,Continue reading “In Search Of”

Last Monday Barbara and I arrived at South Beach Oregon for a three week stay.  On Tuesday I took a hike on the beach.  It felt good to be with the ocean again.  I always enjoy hiking along the beach.  To me the ocean is a wonderful combination of power and beauty but at theContinue reading “South Beach”

Yesterday Barbara, Toby and I took a short 0.6 mile roundtrip hike to Little ZigZag Falls. This is a beautiful hike along ZigZag Creek. I posted some photos below.
