It is hard to think that Christmas is just 23 days away. This shot was taken at the beach in Oxnard. What was interesting is the wind was blowing from the land to the ocean. You can see the spray going out to sea.

“A good night’s sleep.”  Was my first suggestion of what we needed this morning when we woke up at 7:15AM.  Starting early to get ready for Thanksgiving was expected but my body had other plans.  Despite those plans, the turkey’s are now in the oven.  We have watched Macy’s parade on the television, so our day has started.  Later, we are going to our daughter’s family to eat and celbrate with them the remainder of the day. 

Happy Holidays to you all.

This was an exceptional day. It was my birthday and the entire family spent it at the Getty Museum. Having a 3 year old at this world class place was FUN. We all had such a great time. We even saw Hurley from the ABC TV Movie, Lost;.

First Local Fire

This time of year fire can blacken a hillside quickly and because of this the firemen and women work quickly to put them out. On this fire a team of folks were dropped off by air on the top of this hill while two other sets of folks worked their way up the hill. As dangerous was it could of been it was put out very quickly with the neighbors cheering them on.
