Sunset in Costa Rica

Friday, September 28, 2007

My wife and I had a chance to go to Costa Rica last year as part of my companies Presidents Club. The trip was completely paid for by the company. I love vacations, but free vacations are the best!

I highly recommend Costa Rica. The sunsets are amazing!

Summer is over......

Well I guess it had to happen but summer is over. We got our first rain of the season yesterday. It has been almost 5 months since we had rain so it was actually nice to see.

Opps I forgot today was Wednesday Letter "I"

Here we have my contribution to the letter "I"

Yes they really are flying that close together!

A few more from the capitol airshow. If you ever have a chance to see the Blue Angles fly you know how exciting it is. During the show the persision flying team from the US Navy fly's their jets as little as 18 inches apart. Just amazing!

The old an the new

I took this shot at the Capitol Airshow last year in Sacramento. They had a lot of air events flying old aircraft with new modern aircraft. It was a blast to watch.

Up close

As summer comes to a close I thought I would share a few of the summer flowers from my yard.

Yellow fellow

Each one of the flowers in the small bouquet is only about 1/4 of an inch but these yellow months seem to love them.

now thats a chain

Thursday, September 13, 2007

I took this shot at one of my favorite spots in San Francisco. Fort Point. Fort point sits at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge and was a military Fort that was put in to service in the early 1800's. It still stands today keeping watch over the Golden Gate Bridge.

This chain runs along the edge of a 1/2 mile road that leads to the fort. Each link on the chain is over 6 inches long!

"H" for today

Hummingbird. I have had so much fun taking pics of these fast moving birds in my backyard. I thought i would share a different view.

Another visitor in the yard

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

From across the yard I saw this guy looking at me over the rock. By the time I got close to him he was fully exposed. Looks like a snake with feet! His overall length is about 12 inches.

Thursday, September 6, 2007

I took this shot from Tresure Island in the San Francisco Bay. The island was used for many years as a military base. It is now open to the public and offers great views.
