When we got to the target range today, we saw this 1932 Ford parked in front. My folks had one of these a long time ago when I lived in Long Beach, California. Dad hated it – he was always a GM man.
Botanic Garden
Spring has sprung in California! We paid the South Coast Botanic Garden a visit yesterday. I got this shot of a bed of poppies along with a beautiful tree and it’s pink blossoms.
What’s for Dinner?
Stuffed pork chops, rosemary-roasted red potatoes, mango salsa and acorn squash. Damn good!
Golden Ranunculus
It’s as if the legendary King Midas, himself, had touched these golden flowers. These gorgeous Ranunculus Tecolote Gold flowers glisten in the morning sun after I watered and sprayed the patio flowers yesterday morning. Click on the image below to enlarge.
Airship USS Akron
This giant dirigible, the USS Akron, was in the Navy’s Aviation inventory between 1931 and 1933. My Mom saw either this one or the USS Macon flying over Long Beach, California, when she was a teenager. Here, it is seen over Manhattan Island, New York.
Live Search Maps
I like Google Earth® and Google Maps, but Virtual Earth has a feature that allows you to view selected locations from a “bird’s eye” perspective. I got a screen-capture of beautiful Point Fermin Lighthouse as seen from above.
