Door Snake

Happy Halloween! Imagine my surprise the other day when I opened my front door to take the dogs for a walk and found this just outside.

And right below it was a buddy.

But they seemed rather friendly.

Unusual Cloud

I though this cloud would make a fun Skywatch Friday post.

Desolate Coast

In places, the California coastline is very desolate, windy, and cold. This is one of those places, north of San Luis Obispo, where we drove and stopped for a few photos last year

Palmer Reservoir Hike

Last Sunday I went for a hike to Palmer Reservoirs. There was a little sunlight filtering through clouds, but I wasn't able to get the great fall foliage photos I wanted, but this is what I got. I'll start by showing the smaller of the two dams, which people have painted - I'm linking it to the Monday Mural meme.

Of course I have to show the reservoir, even if the light was flat making for marginal photos.

Just off the trail I saw this view, looking up a steep hill.

Here's another bush that was changing colors.

And of course, the aspen grove which was my destination.

A lot of leaves had already fallen - this low shot was my favorite from the hike.
