MLB opening day, 2011!

At last, it's for real  and the games count again. Spring is really here! Will the Giants repeat? Will it be an A's/Giants Series? As of this moment, all things are possible. Let the games begin!

More Spring

More tree blossoms from a walk between rain showers this morning. Hope springs eternal.

Hello, Spring!

Between rain showers this morning, the first day of spring, fresh buds and blossoms on a fruit tree breaking out, signs of re-birth and hope Nature provides annually if we let her.

Apple of the Day or Fruit Concept #3

One of these days I'm gonna take a bite out of this apple but for now,  am content to admire it's shape and form.

Fruit Concept #2

More shape and textures-a navel orange...a few more items and we can make a fruit salad

Fruit Concept

Play time with form and texture and remember, you are what you eat.

"The Silence of A Candle" Prt 2

Referencing the musical composition of the same name from Paul Winter's "Icarus" album with hope for a peaceful, democratic reconciliation in Egypt.

Stow Lake, #3

Bare branches on the trees at Stow Lake. Subtle beauty on an otherwise cold and gray day.

"I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do."

Stow Lake #2

More fog and gulls that don't seem to mind the damp air.

Stow Lake, Sun, Fog

Walking back to my car after a recent visit to the de Young and the Post Impressionism exhibit, the fog rolled in from the Pacific and I happened to have my camera at hand, my eyes open.
