Some image bytes from the first day with my new camera.

The huge vineyard in my backyard (all 3 plants) are starting to wake up.


This is one of many butterflies enjoying my front yard. What a treat that this guy didn't mind hanging out just a foot or so from me.

Strolled down to the dock to practice casting and couldn't resist taking yet another sunset picture.

I was gathering up some old travel pictures and came across this great picture.  It's in Napa many years ago (2002) while preparations where being made for a fantastic balloon ride!

After the breakfast I finally finished a project that I started last night but my battery powered tools ran out of juice before the job was done.  I've been wanted to remove this overgrown weed for many years now as it blocked a great view of the lake from the front of the house.  Aaahhhh, much better.

The new view

 The pile of plants that now need to find their way to the city compost

I had a very late start today, slept nearly 12 hours!  Not any where near my usual 6 to 8 but, I'm up and at it.  After a cup (or two) of coffee I had my usual eggs and whole grain toast.  One difference today is that I poached the eggs with my newest kitchen equipment.

My last business trip to France was in 2010, didn't seem that long ago.  It's a nice quiet Friday evening at home and I could use one of these.  Calvados and Espresso
