Road Trip

I was lucky enough to have 4 days off over this Labor Day Weekend and took advantage of it. We decided to pack up the convertible and head for the California and Oregon coast. Wow we were so fortunate to have the most gorgeous weather. We stayed 3 nights on the coast, one in California at Pt Arena where we visited the B Bryan Preserve. Great place to see some beautiful zebras, giraffes and antelope. These are some of the shots from Day 1. 

Lodi Grape Festival Entries

Since I am a new resident in the town of Lodi, Ca. I thought I would enter the Lodi Grape Festival this year. Here are my 6 entries that I will be entering. I was able to do 3 color and 3 B&W entries. I chose these 6 mostly because I already had 4 of them printed, matted and framed. So wish me luck!

I have been to Safari West 2 times now and have my 3rd trip booked for November which will include an overnight stay (they call it glamping) and a behind the scenes tour. I am so excited to be going again. I love this place. It is truly an amazing place to visit and to be able to see giraffes and zebras just walking around 100's of acres and not in a small cages.
