Yes, it does rain here occasionally

Today is my first day of winter break – my company generously closes from today through 1/3 – so I am catching up on, well, everything! Two days to get ready for Christmas – no problemo right?! Meanwhile the last 5 days were dominated here in So Cal by an enormous (for us) amount of [...]

Friday beauty – cloud colors

  Some fog off on the horizon, but otherwise everything is a brilliant, deep blue. Contrast that with the same time of day in early January when a very muggy heat wave rolled through.   Rain rolls back into town this weekend – unfortunately creating an adventure for the Breast Cancer 3 Day walkers this [...]

He smiles!

If you appeal to his sense of tradition – such as a photo in The Cave on the way to Flat Rock – you can get a willing smile.

My kind of work out – hiking the Flat Rock trail

Testing a new WordPress slide show feature. 22 pics should rotate along. Perfect spring day – sunny but cool enough for a good workout without being over heated. After being thoroughly gassed during the first half of the workout Wed night with the group, I decided it’s time to build up the aerobic stamina a [...]

Another glorious day of hiking

I rewarded myself for working mad hours this week by taking off at 2:45 yesterday and meeting two friends at Torrey Pines. One was from out of town – camera in hand much like Robin! – and the other lives here though is a recent transplant from the mid west. Of course, that fabulous book [...]

A perfect day off

Thanks to a visit by Robin, I got to spend a day off work doing my most favorite thing – touring coastal San Diego’s most beautiful view points. She takes the most beautiful pictures so I did not even bother trying to compete, but a couple of times I could not resist so these are [...]

From Broken Hill to Flat Rock

Photos from our 1/29/08 hike which was supposed to be at the Rancho Penasquitos Trail, but that park was closed I assume due to high creek levels from the rain. We will attempt that site again Saturday. So we went to the place we know best, Torrey Pines Reserve. Parked at work and walked in [...]

Connections

So as I said in my previous post, this is the time of year when I try to catch up on doing things for me. Since I don’t have the 3-day walk to motivate me specifically this year to get out and walk, I needed some other inspiration. My training walks were all walks on [...]
