Yeah, I know, it’s another sunset… from my mom’s house…

a 1

No, it isn’t the best view in the Bay Area.

a 2

You can only see parts of the bay, and you can’t see anything of San Francisco or the Golden Gate Bridge, like you can from other parts of the big ridge on which the house I grew up in sits.

a 3

The sun has moved Northward, so it isn’t setting behind that grove of trees like it was the last time I was here.

a 4

Which kind of puts the sunset right behind the giant oak tree in front of the house. (I do like to take photos with multiple layers of leaves or flowers, and just see what the camera decided to focus on).

a 5

But what I like about these sunset pictures is this…

a 6

I don’t have to drive… or even walk… anywhere. Unless you count going out on the deck or up to the top level of the backyard, like I did for that photo up there.

a 7

Okay, I do have to either ignore or shoot through the phone lines and power wires… or crop them out of the picture.

a 8

But these are perfect when I am feeling lazy. And, as you saw in an earlier post, I never know what kind of wildlife will be waiting for me right outside.

A purloining possum and a robbing raccoon…

a 1

I was delighted to see this little guy, a very young possum, outside my mom’s windows last night.

a 2

He was helping himself to some cat food in the backyard.

a 3

Hence the clever name of this post.

a 4

It was a nice change of pace from the raccoons that usually come to steal the cat food…

a 5

But then I saw a few of them later, out of the front deck.

a 6

This one was deciding whether to scamper away into the big oak tree, or go back for a second helping.

a 7

A possum might not have a raccoon’s good looks.

a 8

But I still think they are sort of cute.

Yup, I’m back in the Bay Area!

a 1

I took my mom up the the Berkeley hills.

a 2

I took these photos from that spot you might remember from our trip to the Bay Area not long ago when we saw Hamilton. We also saw the smoke rising from across the bay while we waited to go on that awesome rocket boat ride.

a 3

This is the view from beside those lovely trees that almost burned in that fire. You can still smell the burnt area.

a 4

But my favorite trees were spared, and the view is still lovely.

a 5

It was a close thing.

a 6

We tried to do some bird watching, but the birds were not cooperating.

a 7

So we went and had lunch.

Roses and sunsets… guess where I am…

a 1

Yup, I am back in the Bay Area, visiting my mom.

a 2

So get ready for lots of photos…

a 3

Yes, there will be pictures of flowers and sunsets…

a 4

But I will try to throw in some other stuff too.

a 5

I mean, it can’t all be roses and sunsets, can it?

a 6

I will try to go on a few adventures.

a 7

And maybe go on a drinking binge with Big Johnny… I know how much you enjoy it when I do that… HA!

Wait, you have a post with 44,656 Comment on it???

Why yes, yes I do, little monkey. Thanks for asking. It is right over there—> at the top of my sidebar. The blue letters that say:

Click here to get to the post where we are trying to break the record for most comments on one post… and become a part of history…

I don’t know if the link works, but if you are new here, and haven’t left a comment, please do. I guarantee I will answer you. Heck, make as many comments as you want. Tell jokes, tell your life story. We are trying to set a record and get into the Guinness Book Of World Records.
And remind me to tell you the story of how this post started sometime.
Oh, and scroll down and read some of the crazy stuff on there. We are thinking of making it into a book… if we can figure out how to edit it.
