November 10, 2010 Lovely time to play


Pumpkins in the cornfields
Gold among the brown
Leaves of rust and scarlet
Trembling slowly down
Birds that travel southward
Lovely time to play
Nothing is as pleasant
As an autumn day!

November 1, 2010

Happy November 1st!

Cathy just updated the blogspot with photos of her trip from Ventura on Island Packers to Prisoners Harbor ~ Santa Cruz Island, Channel Islands.
Santa Cruz Island, known by the Chumash people as “Limuw”(translates to “in the sea”).
Close to the California mainland, yet worlds apart, Channel Islands National Park encompasses five remarkable islands (Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara) and their ocean environment, preserving and protecting a wealth of natural and cultural resources. Isolation over thousands of years has created unique animals, plants, and archeological resources found nowhere else on Earth and helped preserve a place where visitors can experience coastal southern California as it once was.
N.P.S.

October 20, 2010 Chiefs Peak from my backyard.

Nice of October to give us some much needed rain. I could see a rather large waterfall in the foothills over the Pratt Trail from town Monday.
