California pre-Christmas 2009

Dinner at CPK with siblings and spouses.
A day at Avila Beach and Barn: We met a friend on the pier.

Ernie told me that a rainbow around the sun means there is a lot of moisture in the air.
D. suggested a photo shoot in the tree--great idea.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of H. He stood outside the pigs' enclosure calling, "I love you, piggie!"
A hike at Montana de Oro. What a nice uncle!
Enjoying the new area that's just been opened at the park, owned by PG&E Electric.
What wouldn't I give to experience the serenity of this beautiful place?


Apparently this recently opened property is used to graze animals--something you don't see in the rest of the park! I love to photograph animals.

Big news: Emily and Chris's baby was born just two weeks before we got to California! Here's our darling nephew, N., being watched over by uncle Cam.

I was melted to see Cam taking care of a baby--it made me so excited to have our own!

Hopefully they grow up to be as sweet as B., who volunteered to sweep every time he went out to jump on the trampoline. :)
