San Francisco Victorians
The Victorian on the right is for sale. You should buy it, and paint it some groovy color (as this is in the Haight-Ashbury District).

Corona del Mar, Newport Beach sunset between storms
During my first full day in Southern California late last week there was a huge storm, more like typhoon or monsoon. More than an inch of rain fell during the day, and the wind was incredible. For a brief period of time things cleared up. I headed to the beach to take this photo. Soon thereafter it was crazy windy and rainy again.
The biggest offensive threat in the National League
Matt Kemp didn’t win the National League MVP last year, but that isn’t because he wasn’t the best. He came in second in the voting because he played for the Dodgers, and the Dodgers didn’t make the playoffs. On this evening, Kemp went 2 for 4 and scored a run. But on this pitch, a fastball from Jeff Karstens of the Pittsburgh Pirates, he swung…
… and missed.
California’s Central Valley
I drove from Ashland to Los Angeles in a single day on my own. I made three or four pit stops along the way and this was the view from one of them. I was somewhere on I-5 heading south between The Bathrooms and The Angels (Los Banos and Los Angeles) when I took this photo.
I left Ashland before 4 a.m., traveling through quite a bit of snow and rain along the way. The sunrise was a dazzling contest between the sun and storm clouds for several hours between Redding and Sacramento. Unfortunately, I didn’t make any photo stops until this one.
I’m not sure what kind of trees these were, but they seemed to go on forever, like many of the orchards and farms along I-5.
Los Angeles Panorama
I’m in Los Angeles for a few more days. Here is a photo I took on Thursday as I was pulling into town. Actually, this is a number of photos merged together spanning more than 180 degrees. On the far left is Griffith Observatory. On the far right is the Hollywood sign. Click on the image for a lot more detail. I’ll be posting more photos of Los Angeles on my other blog.
Golden Gate Bridge
Another photo today from my adventures this past weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco is one of four or five places I call home. I spent about a year tour guiding in San Francisco in the early 1990s. For some reason I never made it to this overlook of the Golden Gate Bridge until now.
The weather forecast was for heavy rain (over half an inch). Luckily, it didn’t happen. We had rain in Napa and a bit in San Francisco, but I think the high winds may have messed up Mother Nature’s rain plan.
Spring Break Self Portrait
No students on campus this past week since it was Spring Break. The only sign of life at SOU was my shadow.
Diamond Lake
Today’s photo of Ellie is from the archives. Diamond Lake and Mount Bailey won’t look like this for another four or five months. As we continue through this cold and wet Spring Break one can only dream of the slowly approaching summer.
Cold Ashland Creek
This time of year, you never know what you are going to get. One day it’s sunny and warm; the next it’s cold and snowy.
Brown Mountain Trail
I walked on this trail late last summer for several hours and didn’t encounter a single person. It was wonderful.
