This is another example of the beautiful architecture that we saw during our recent visit to Santa Rosa CA. This is Santa Rosa High School, pretty much the way it has been seen since 1925.
We’re in Reno, NV tonight, a far piece from old Santa Rosa, but we still remember the nice visit with the grandchildren and seeing all the quaint houses and classic architecture. Click on the image to enlarge.
We are in Santa Rosa, CA, tonight after having spent a nice day visiting with our three granddaughters. We took them to lunch and got caught up with what everyone has been doing and such. The oldest is going to give birth to the little dude any day now and, unfortunately, we won’t be able to stay for the blessed event, since we have to head back home in the morning.
While we were driving through town, we saw a great many historical structures that were still in great shape. In addition to the nice old house on the photo, we saw some great old buildings dating back to before 1925 that were still in premium condition. Click on the image to enlarge.
Today, somewhere along California State Route 99 between Bakersfield and Fresno, we saw a Scandinavian (tourist trap) village along the roadside. In the background was this water tower made up to look like a teapot. Very zany. Click on the image to enlarge.
We saw this giant Radio Flyer Wagon parked along Western Avenue in Torrance CA today. It appears that this one is actually a motorized, drivable replica of the ubiquitous little red wagons we all knew and loved as kids. This one had a tongue and handle to complete the effect. It looks like it’s a rolling advertisement for a nationally known body shop chain. Click on the image to enlarge.
I went out back this afternoon with the camera to try and get a shot of a road runner that I saw up on the hill behind the RV drive. By the time I got my camera and came back out, the road runner had retreated to a place where I couldn’t get a decent picture of it. However, this cooperative hummingbird came and perched on one of the feeders. Click on the image to enlarge.
We don’t have any oleanders on our property, but there are several down the road a hundred feet or so. The house where these are has white, red and these pink flowers going all spring and summer. The bushes have very pretty flowers, but they freeze easily in the winter and require more maintenance than we are willing to provide. Click on the image to enlarge.
