July - Cherry Hill Rest Home

My friend Cathy, who is a fabulous artist, lives in the coolest house - it is a wonderful old Victorian that really did used to be a rest home and even a birthing hospital many years ago.

July - Woodstock

There are cute Woodstock statues all over Santa Rosa, which was the home of Charles Schultz, which have been decorated and painted by local artists.

July - Garden Gate

I love the white picket fences at my new house, they are so cute!

The Boulevard Cinema is the centerpiece of Petaluma's new Theater Distirct, which was inspired by some local girls who started a movies in the park event which eventually led to the building of a real theater and movie premier with George Lucas. And all of the girls were given jobs at the new theater and each also has a star on a walk of fame in front of the theater!

July - Union Street Shopping

Had a fun birthday lunch with Marie, and Christy came and joined us for some shopping on Union Street in San Francisco!

July - My Girls

Christy and Julia at the new house. Christy brought me this cute garden gnome as a house warming gift!

July - My New House

This is my new house. I am going to post some photos taken in July with my Coolpix. But I must admit I am losing track of the dates because these photos do not have the date on them for some reason. So I will just do the best I can and move forward from here. Hope you understand!

Fast as lightning

When you watch this video you'll see that 'fast as lightning' is hardly an exagerration - in fact it's practically an understatement. To trace the course of lightning, this slow-motion video, massively expanded to 1.33 minutes, was shot at a speed of 9,000 frames per second in Rapid City, SD on 16 June 2010.

Something Real

It's so beautiful. It's a fast car, it's freedom, it's a long summer night with a beauty in the passenger seat of your ride. It's the highway; as the night beckons and the wind rushes through your hair. It's a longing for a chance at something real. Something genuine.

This song is a passion for life. When I pull out of my town to say goodbye to my roots, as I set forth on another adventure. One song reminds of my dreams and aspirations.
