It may be December in Northern California, but there are still many shades of leaves on the trees. I was able to frame this one to get some red, orange, yellow and still green leaves all at once.
Rainbow Leaves
Birds on a Wire
There were a massive number of birds on these wires. Every once in awhile a group of them would fly away and come right back, almost as if they were shuffling for position. If the movie “The Birds” freaked you out, you probably wouldn’t have liked where I was standing to take this photo.
Probably Haunted
This cool old mansion in Sacramento looks pretty ominous to me, if I were to guess I’d say it is haunted. But the gate is open, so you can go check it out for yourself.
Capitol Christmas
The Christmas Tree as seen in 2008 in front of the State Capitol of California. I have a Christmas party tonight so I thought this photo was appropriate!
Three Palms
I’m going to do one more quick and dirty photo from the dreaded camera phone, and then I’ll get back to business. This one is from downtown Sacramento, and heavily processed by one of those ever so clever vintage apps. It works well for this one, giving the palms trees an old California feel and letting them stand out against a modern building in the background. Enjoy!
Fake Funnel Cloud
I came home to a computer that wouldn’t power on, so tonight I’m posting a photo I snapped with my phone from my office the other day. This type of cloud formation is from a plane passing through a cloud layer above, causing water to drop and disrupt the clouds below. I thought it looked like a mini funnel cloud, and my midwest background told me to take cover!
One Red Leaf
It is safe to say that fall is winding down so I will have to stop posting so many leaf photos soon. I need to get this one out there before it gets too far into winter so here goes. This one red leaf on the lawn struck me as it contrasted the other mostly yellow leaves on the grass.
Cheese Please
This cheese stand at the farmer’s market in San Francisco was hard to pass up. The woman next to me was buying some very delicious looking cheese!
From the Water
A view of Coit Tower in San Francisco from the water. I snapped this on my way into the city on the ferry. It looks fairly calm, but it was hard to get a steady shot the way that the boat was rocking!
Four Cupcakes
Some people look pretty interested in this window display of cupcakes. Other people not so much. All that I have to say is that they tasted delicious!
