Today's Flowers, Mellow Yellow, Camera Critters / Hello MOO Cow!
Click on photo to enlarge!
I am loving that this MOO COW is standing by yellow flowers and all dressed up with yellow tags on her ears.
I stopped my car and approached carefully so not to scare her away.
I wish more of her face was showing, but, she kept a good eye on me as I came closer.

SkyWatch Friday / Looks Like Rain!
Click on photo to enlarge!
Uh Oh... the rain is going to make it to the desert!
Uh Oh... the rain is going to make it to the desert!
We spent a few hours yesterday at the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA.
We thought we would escape the rain in Los Angeles or prolong the "dry" a little longer...but, it caught up with us before we got home!
These tents are used by those who want to spend the night to observe the nocturnal creatures here.
This area is often used by school groups on overnight field trips.
But...LOOK at that sky!
Storms coming over the San Jacinto Mountains create some "big" drama to watch!

Weekend Reflections / Outdoor Tables Inside
Click on photo to enlarge!
This is a reflection of outdoor tables & chairs in the window of one of the towers at the Crystal Cathedral in Orange, California.
The stairs are inside the building even though they appear to be a part of the reflection.
May God Bless Japan and her people after this devastating 8.9 earthquake.
I lift my prayers towards the Pacific Island nations.

Scenic Sunday, Mellow Yellow, Blue Monday / Dead Fish Kill!
Click on photos to enlarge!
I have been posting images of the Salton Sea which lies in the desert region of southern California.
It is nearly the lowest elevation in the USA, but, Death Valley actually holds that distinction.
But, the Salton Sea is the largest inland body of water in California.
Unfortunately, the water contains a high salinity level and is extremely polluted from
toxic run-off from the Coachella Valley.
As scenic as it is, it is a death-trap for fish.
Although, not too bad right now, because of cooler temperatures on the desert.
As the temperatures rise in the next few weeks, so will the stench of thousands (if not millions) of dead fish that line the shores.
NOT too pretty, right?
It's a shame...part of it nature and part of it mankind...
something to think about...

I attended a wedding recently where a family baptism occurred after the marriage ceremony was completed.
A nice reflection was waiting for me in the baptismal font as the couple enjoyed conversation with their priest.Wednesday, March 2, 2011
SkyWatch Friday / Old Wagon in the Snow - Oak Glen, California USA
Click on photo to enlarge!
Our family enjoyed a snow-day on Monday at Oak Glen, California.
Our family enjoyed a snow-day on Monday at Oak Glen, California.
We were delighted the snow level from our last storm dumped the pretty white stuff on the lower elevations of our local mountains.
No "serious" mountain driving was necessary.
Oak Glen is a beautiful little valley full of apple orchards.
I have seen this old wagon many times but, finally, I got a shot of it in the snow.
It was a beautiful sunny day...which means this snow will be gone in a very short time.
