Day: March 11, 2010

Excuse me, while I kiss the sky …

It is unbelievably beautiful up here this afternoon, and so, I am going to sit on my sunny, warm, back deck. Maybe take photos, and enjoy this wonderous place where I live. Perhaps, some photos after sunset … but maybe I will be too busy living it to record it.

After sunset. I lived it, and I recorded it, and as soon as I find my A/B cord, I will download then upload some shots of the beauty of where I am blessed to call home.

This is my deck. It is only 8 ft. wide, so I plan on expanding it.

It’s is not much of a deck, yet, but it makes up for it in views.

This is what I see all day, every evening, and every sunset. Am I blessed or what?

And the sunsets can’t be beat! That is a Big Leaf Maple, getting ready to bud out. Spring is almost here!

Garcia has been endorsed by the deputies union. Article in today’s Herald: here
