#BlueTuesday #Tower11 #Beach #SoCal #Oceanside #Photography Tower 11 at Buccaneer Beach in Oceanside, California!
#BlueTuesday#Maverick #BeachHouse #TopGun #Photography This blue beachfront cottage in Oceanside, California, played a prominent part in the original Top Gun movie. It has been restored, moved, and is operated as a pie shop now, of all things! But Maverick’s bike is parked out front!
#BlueTuesday #GardenArt #FrogKing #FroschKönig #Photography After many evenings of listening to his croaking song, I finally spotted him on his swing, under a blue summer night sky. The Frog King! He looked friendly 😊!
Great shots, and a great car! I loved the cars back when I worked for Porsche, and I still love them today! Here’s one that was at my shop, around 1988!
#Stunday #Travel #Danube #Photography #Passau Catching the first glimpse of the town at the confluence of three rivers is always a moment to cherish! Passau, Bavaria in Germany, where you can enjoy time by the rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz, at a nice park by the point of confluence 😍!

Hi Javier 👋👋👋 Hopefully the nearby Atlantic Ocean spares you from the worst of the European heatwave! I’m just having a snack of some tuna that was caught in Galicia, probably off Vigo! I was reminded of the beautiful coast that you post such great photos of ❤️🙏!
#DesertBloom #WildFlowers #AnzaBorrego #SoCal #BloomScrolling #Photography Just three things are needed to make the desert bloom. Sun, sand and rain, just the right amount at the right time!
#AlphabetWeekA #SoCal #Abandoned #Desert #SaltonSea #Photography #TheRoadLessTraveled Someone’s dream went bust when the road in front of the tire repair shop became the road less traveled!

#EveningLight #Bloom #Flowers #NaturalLight #Photography Good night and wishing y’all a wonderful Friday! Just walked back to the house and took these photos with available light on my iPhone at 8:30PM! The joy of summer 😍🙏❤️!
#Hibiscus #BloomScrolling #Photography This white hibiscus plant has been happy in it’s place outside my window for over 40 years! It is producing stunningly beautiful flowers right now, and they are also stunningly large! Like a dinner plate!
I can relate that Kimbi! My lap has been used as a dog bed for a few years now! Out on our favorite chair, rain or shine!
#BirdOfTheDay #Oriole #Photography A male hooded Oriole is perched high on the blossom cluster of a Madagascar Palm Succulent. He’s watching other birds around ‘his’ food supply.
#PeaceAndLove #Ringo Celebrating the message of Peace and Love today, on Ringo’s birthday 🎉! He happens to be my birthday brother, so here’s my happy birthday toast to both of us, with a fine bottle from the Russian River in California! Cheers Ringo 🥂 Peace and love to everyone!
#Stunday #Sequoia #Photography The already narrow road divides to allow passage through this stunning group of trees known as the four guardsmen.
That’s the same temperature we’re enjoying in San Diego for the coming week! It’s very comfortable, thanks to the cool Pacific Ocean at our doorstep, but we do occasionally get a heatwave too. Plus, when the wind shifts and blows in from our desert 🌵 it can get hot for a few days!
Beautiful Matt 👏👏📷👋 I was looking for the bright side! Think I found it, walking to the vegetable garden just now 😍🙏
🙏Joanie. Growing Jalapeños and Bell peppers in the garden right now. Jalapeños are very photogenic, green to red and in between! This pic is of a volunteer plant that came up next to my patio, grew into a 7 foot bush with tons of very hot 🥵 little peppers 🌶️! They were not meaty, just skin and seeds.
#IndependenceDay Wishing a happy 4th of July to all of you who celebrate! Today is a good day to reflect on all the rights and wrongs over the past 250 years, and how we should move forward, and who we want to be in the future!
Thank you Belle 🙏 It’s great watching all these birds coming in for a bite of grape jelly! I set up the camera in late afternoon, seems to be their favorite feeding time. They have to grow up fast, for their journey to South America in August and September.
#Scape #California #Cars #Photography Two colorful lead sleds out in the wild. Summer nights on Main Street, California.
#Birds #Nature #Orioles #Photography Two juvenile Orioles, a male and female, are sharing a snack of grape jelly. These two are likely siblings that hatched 🐣 in my backyard this summer! The thorns on the Madagascar Palm succulent don’t seem to bother any of the birds at all.
Cows in the fast lane! Black with white stripes. In the 1970s I had a white mustang with black stripes, different kind of animal altogether 😱😂👋!
#BloomScrolling #Poppies #Photography Found these California Poppies still going strong on this first day of July in between the African Daisies and Alyssum in my SoCal backyard! Have a good night y’all, and a happy Thursday!
#WaterfallWednesday #Travel #Yosemite #Photography Upper Yosemite Falls, flowing with great volume after record snow levels in 2023. This was taken in mid July, most years will have just enough water for a fraction of this, or even dry up completely!
One of my favorite places to visit, after a St George hotel clerk suggested it as a good place to visit, after we arrived earlier than planned for a night, on the way to Zion!
