Monochrome Weekend, Camera Critters / Let's Go!

I saw these adorable pups on Balboa Island, California USA.

They patiently waited for their masters to get ready for some kayaking on the water in Newport Bay.

I believe they tied this kayak to another and dragged these little guys along...I didn't see that part, unfortunately.

The upper, mid, and lower falls.

The melting ice up above is feeding these falls.

They will become even more thunderous in later April, May and June.

This is another view of the upper falls.

A closer view.

We attended an air show today.  Our little grandson missed part of it while sleeping in his mother's (our daughter) arms.

Monochrome Maniacs and The World in Black and White / Old Water Wheel in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona

This old water wheel is in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona. I was part of the irrigation system of an old apple orchard just north of Sedona years ago. There are still a few apple trees left in the area, mostly for ornamental purposes.

Monochrome Maniacs and The World in Black and White / Kite Surfer at San Simeon, California

"Okay...I Am Ready!" I am sure this is what this guy said as he headed out to the water. It took him forever to get his act together! We watched the wind surfers and kite surfers just north of San Simeon, California while on our trip to the Central Coast last week. I plan to post the "colorful" photos in the near future, as well.
