Weekend Postcard: Crescent Bay

A cold storm came in last night and dropped about an inch of snow. Snow still was falling this morning. Happy New Year from Timberati. May 2011 be a great year for you.

Weekend Postcard: Lake County

I caught this sunset over Mt Hannah and Salmina Meadow on my mobile phone. I have never been able to get the impact of a sunrise or sunset captured in a mere photo. Still the sky is magnificent and the evening was wonderfully mild.

Letter to UC Berkeley’s “Daily Californian”

Weekend postcard – Berkeley, CA

I took these along the Berryman Path in Berkeley, California. There are a ton more of photographs here.
