38/365 - Oranges revisited.


38/365 - Oranges revisited., originally uploaded by panodanno.

Yesterday I took this picture with my Yashica Minister D. This morning I noticed that the plum blossom petals had blown onto the deck and the sun was lighting the blossoms themselves. So, time for a re-take with a camera 43 years newer. Here is the picture from the Minister D:


37/365 - Yashica Minister D Test

I was a bit more careful with the towel and lighting today, and the weather was quite different. It's a beautiful morning for sure. I have some work to do in the garage, and then maybe I'll have time to get out on the bike. Lori is swimming and then riding too, but she has a seminar to go to this afternoon so her time is a bit more limited. Maybe we'll do the 30 miler along the coast... That would be fun today.

Winter is Back

36/365 -- Fog on the Mountain

It was very foggy yesterday evening on my run on Mt. Tamalpais. Not too cold though, so it was still a lot of fun. The view you can't see here is of the Pacific Ocean.

Last night it rained pretty hard (.4 inches since about 3:00 a.m.), and continues to rain this morning. It looks like a running day. Tomorrow is supposed to be better, so Lori and I will probably try to get some miles in on the bikes.

Every day is a day closer to the OKFree, and there is no way to cram for that test. So, I keep telling myself that I must be consistent every day, and every week to be ready. Most of the time that gets me out there too!

Travel, romantic travel...

Not a lot to offer today. I flew in to Buffalo yesterday and drove to Bradford, PA. Here's a look at Buffalo from the air:

33/365 - Buffalo from the air.

And here is a picture of the view outside my window in Bradford. Very small-town, industrial Pensylvaniaish. Oh yeah, and it's snowing...

34/365 - It's snowing again...

Cookie at the Beach

This photo is from yesterday.

This afternoon Lori and I rode 52 miles through Muir Beach, Stinson Beach, Pt. Reyes Station and back over the mountain. Very tired tonight, but it was the training we needed.
