Televisions. You know… so the people can watch what a great job FEMA and the President are doing.

Yes, I know most of them don’t have electricity still, but I am sure they will soon… right after they finally get some water… and some food… and some shelter.

Bowling balls… because, obviously, after a tough day of drying off an entire island with paper towels, a person has to do something fun to lift their spirits.

Golf trophies. I know, he did dedicate a golf trophy to them, but that doesn’t have the same level of personal satisfaction that this would have given the president.

A puppy in a tutu, a setting sun, a setting moon, and a rising sun… (the end of my latest journey to the Bay Area)…

Posted on October 7, 2017 by pouringmyartout

a 1

Okay, it isn’t really a tutu, it’s a… well, I don’t know what it was… or what it was for… but it was fake fur wrapped around an elastic band forming a circle… and it looked pretty funny on the dog.

a 2

Yes, I do know the name of the dog, a little chocolate lab. His name is Dutch. He belongs to my good friend Chris, whom I went to visit the day before I left the Bay Area to come back to San Diego. Chris and his family moved into the neighborhood where my mom still lives, when Chris was 7-years-old. I guess I was 7 too.

a 3

Puppies!

a 4

It took Dutch a while…

a 5

But he finally got out of his embarrassing Halloween costume.

a 6

And then he took a nap. He looks a lot more ‘chocolate’ on the wooden floor.

a 7

One last sunset from my mom’s backyard. That mountain is Mount Tamalpais. Yes, the one I ended up getting detoured to the top of on my three-bridge adventure.

a 8

I did my patented ‘leaving at four in the morning so I can miss the bad traffic in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego thing’. I stopped and put the zoom lens on to take a photo of the moon.

a 9

And I got a few pictures of the rising sun in the California Central Valley too.

a 10

Yes, I took them while I was driving.

a 11

But I kept one hand on the wheel and both eyes on the road.

A three bridge adventure… the final chapter… (full circle)…

Posted on October 7, 2017 by pouringmyartout

a 1

Okay, I skipped ahead just a little. I took that photo back on Treasure Island in the middle of San Francisco Bay. But I do like to have a good photo show up on the topic pages.

a 2

Technically speaking, I left off on the last post with me still driving through San Francisco, heading for the Oakland Bay Bridge, the third bridge of my driving adventure around the bay Area.

a 3

There is something a little weird about these three pictures of the city.

a 4

All the buildings have a greenish tint. I don’t know if that is because of some reflective coating on the glass windows, or some bizarre atmospheric condition, but it was very noticeable.

a 5

And then I was back on Treasure Island for the second time on this visit to the Bay Area. There is Alcatraz, looking almost like a ship.

a 6

And there is Mount Tamalpais on the right of that photo. You might remember that I got detoured up that mountain from the coast highway on the other side, and took some nice pictures from the top.

a 7

I had a nice time on that adventure. It took me ten hours, but I got kissed by a horse, saw the redwoods, the coast, birds, three bridges and some good friends.

 

a 9

I think I only have a couple more posts worth of photos from my recent trip to my mom’s house in the Bay Area… and then we can get back to doing… whatever it is I do around here.
