May I Take Your Order?

It's neat to see what treasures you can find in your own home town.  I was eating lunch today and as I was leaving, I spotted this "Italian chef" outside the restaurant next door.  He was so colorful and charming I couldn't resist taking his picture.

A Matter of Inches

The French take the game of Bocci very seriously.  No "gimmees" in this group.  I don't know if there was any money on the line but I have a feeling there was with measuring going on like this.

Shasta Daisy

My Mom loved Shasta Daisies.  They were graceful and their fringed petals add a delicate touch to an otherwise common flowers.

Veteran's Day in the Park

It's important for us to remember those who serve our country so that we can live free.  The City of La Quinta, where I live, holds a ceremony each Veteran's Day to recognize those members in the community who've been a member of the Armed Forces. This memorial, with their names engraved on it, stands to honor those men and women.

A Study in Red and White

Flowers are my passion and everywhere I travel I'm searching out subjects to photograph.  Sometimes the light isn't as perfect as I'd like but when it's your only chance, you've got to go for it.  These red nasturtiums nicely framed the white flowers and I knew it'd be a while before I'd be back to Skagway, Alaska, so I did the best I could.

Pink & Green

Hydrangeas are pretty fresh and dry.  But these fresh beauties in pink and greens just talked to me.

Christmas in Barcelona

It'll be holiday season before we know it so I thought I'd get an early start with this shot from the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona, Spain.  The city comes alive at night and they have lights hung everywhere in the narrow streets of the old part of town.
