While In California

Lauren worked on a video of her mission trip to Cameroon.


Jordann opened birthday gifts at her party.


Here you can see the hills just beyond the populated area of Concord.



I took a walk around the neighborhood early in the morning.


Lantanas were blooming along the sidewalk.


They shone brightly in the morning sun.


This intersection where two six lane streets meet is only two blocks from the Tatum condo.


Our motel was just across the street from their housing complex.


The hills are completely dead now as this is the end of the dry season.


As we drove through the pass toward Pittsburgh we noticed a few cows grazing at the top of the hill.


Interesting flowers at the shopping mall.


One afternoon we visited the dog park. These people were walking toward the park with their canine friends.


Sunday afternoon as we drove to San Francisco the fog began rolling in through the Golden Gate.


I think soon the entire bridge will disappear.


On Sunday afternoon there were almost as many bicycles on the roads as cars.


The fog came in through the trees.


A sculpture in front of the art museum.


From the hill near the Pacific we could see San Francisco in the distance.


San Francisco looks like San Francisco!


We stopped at a Taco Bell on the beach.


Lots of people were enjoying the surf. The water is so cold that they all were wearing wet suits.


The fog almost obscured the surfers out beyond the first wave. We never saw anyone actually ride a wave successfully.


We visited a pumpkin farm along Highway 1 and walked through the corn maze.


This old barn was at the back of the corn maze.


Customers were allowed to harvest their own pumpkins from the field.


Many pumpkins had already been harvested and stacked outside the field.


There was a big stack of straw bales for the kids to climb on.


Jerry bought a stem of brussel sprouts and some English peas that she shelled while the rest of us toured the pumpkin and corn fields. We saw several large fields of sprouts growing near the highway.

OK, Glenn is just asking for it... "If I only had a brain..." Looks like Lauren found the perfect pumpkin. Pumpkin prices have been higher this year due to the shortage, but I found some decently priced at WM- just had to dig through a big box to get past the greenish ones.

When the Texas coast looks that dreary, we don't go to it.
