    Posted by Rosemary on July 1, 2007 at 10:35 pm

    I stepped outside my office on Friday and this is what I saw in my parking lot.
    This lady DID NOT want her picture taken and her babies were right in tune with her.
    They are heading underneath of the closest car. Hence, I took what I could get…

    I thought I would start a photos of nature thread so that anyone could post here. For me, nature is therapeutic.

    I will be back to post some more photos from time to time…

    Hi Zach and Rosemary,

    If we get that far south, Zach, I will be sure to try to contact you. We are really enjoying the last week’s 60+ degree temps. We love your part of the world.

    Rosemary those are not bones but drift wood! They do look like bones don’t they?
    Actually, I don’t think he’s too happy. Rather, he’s nursing wounds suffered in a fight with another dominant male. They fight and the loser then swims off to be by himself. He was one of two on this very large beach area. They are very large weighing in the neighborhood of one to two ton – that’s a lot of blubber.

    Hope all is well with you. We have wireless connection in our home so we are in contact. All is well. Although I am back to cathing to void. I guess I will face the scar tissue removal procedure again upon my arrival back home. Oh well, life goes on. Although I wish this new “normal” would get more normal. :)

    Best regards,

    Gordon

    Gordon, it looks like you’re in my neck of the woods–if you’re passing through Los Olivos, please let me know!

    Rosemary,

    Look at what I ran into yesterday on the beach. Having a great time. Temps in the 70’s. I could get used to this.

    Best regards to all,

    Gordon,

    Today’s weather….not too good. Cold and rainy….

    Glad you are staying in touch!! I’m looking forward to a photo of that lighthouse.

    Your Bud,

    Rosemary and Zach,

    Rosemary, hopefully by Monday night we will be in warmer clims. Would love to see your area of the country some day, especially the outer banks. I had a friend who lived in your area and he often raved about the beauty of the area. What are your temps now? Looks inviting. I am looking forward to being next to the ocean. There is a lighthouse just up the road from Cambria. I’ll post a picture for you.

    Zach, I’ve been following your weather. I see where you got record breaking mositure a couple of days ago. Obviously some of it was snow higher up. Very pretty – but only if viewed from afar! :D We will be in Cambria on Thursday of this week for a two month visit. Hopefully, the temperatures will be a little more moderate than what we have been experiencing the last six weeks – what a winter. And, more snow predicted for this PM and night! I’ll have to “do” the sidewalks at least one more time before I leave. >:( You can blame your weather on the fact that my wife and I will be arriving in your area of the country soon!! Gordon’s law – like any line I get in, regardless of length, will be the “slowest”.

    Best regards to you both and thank you for the pictures. I feel better already! Better but not warmer. ;D

    Gordon

    ps Thank you both for your contributions to the forum.

    It’s really just a light dusting and looks more dramatic than it actually is, but still–it’s snow!

    Gordon, even “Zach country” gets cold occasionally.

    These are the mountains behind my house.

    Gordon,

    These should warm you up. These are not my photos, but I edited them for a friend of mine. They were taken here at the Outer Banks about 15 miles from my home….

    Your snow is pretty, but, I think I’d rather be here!!! :)

    Wow, incredible.

    Stay warm!

    Rosemary,

    The cabin is to the left of the last photo. Picture was taken in back of cabin. The snow slide off of the roof to add to the snow depth on the ground (about 3 foot on level). So there’s about 4-5 foot of snow on the sides of the cabin. The new deck I build last spring is now under about 3 foot of snow.


    Note pile where snow fell from roof. I must say we need the moisture so we are thankful for the snow fall. Next spring will bring great mushroom hunting!

    I am working on attic hence plywood in front of front window.

    Hope all is well with you. We leave Sunday for points south!

    Rosemary et al,

    This is what we are leaving as we head for warmer clims,

    Time to go to “Zach country”! North Idaho is great during the spring, summer and fall. But, during the winter – this is getting old.

    Best regards to all,
