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.

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!

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!

Pretty much what the title says, there isn’t much more to say. Just three good looking pots!

The California State Capitol as seen on a clear afternoon. Tomorrow is election day, so this is your reminder to go out and vote if you want to have some voice in what goes on inside here!

A view of the main part of the huge sundial that is the business end of the Sundial Bridge in Redding. From this angle, it looks more like a harp than a bridge. As you can see it was cloudy, so I wasn’t able to tell the time with the bridge, but I was able to get some cool effects from the sky.

I found this little tiny mushroom on a hike that had a leaf nearby with just the perfect curl to it. I don’t know exactly what it was, but it looked like a brain to me.

This was taken in Monterey California, but not at the aquarium.  It was taken close to the breakwater in the ocean.  This was my first dive with a new camera setup, and it was a test dive for an upcoming trip.  I didn’t get a lot of great shots due to conditions, but this one was particularly clear and I really like the way the wavy tentacles turned out.

A cool spot in Portland Oregon; the Irving St. Kitchen.  These little discs that they used for the sign by the entrance caught my eye and I snapped this shot.

These steps in the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse were old, creaky and didn’t really go anywhere, but the view from the top was cool!
