cool fire sun - bad fire smoke

Northern California now has between 800-1000 fires burning at this moment.
There's really no getting away from the smoke since it stretches across the entire state.
This is day 5. ug.
this hurt to see through the lens and YES, that is the real color.

the hills are vanishing....(sigh)

two words....SWEET ride

My sister in law's hubby customized this '54 bug (my son called a "ladybug").

Painted black with a cherry-pearl overlay.

How about the custom embossed '54 under the hood?

the rare oval rear window

Interior

I dig the console in the back seat.

smoke...on the asphalt

our hills, our hills, our hills are on fire.

(cough) and our street is filled with smoke.

This sucks.

It smells SO bad out there you can't breathe

after being in it for just 5 minutes.

whatcha eatin'?

"mommy's pizza goldfish"

(sigh)

Apparently my daughter gave up the location of my hidden goldfish.

I knew I'd be found out sooner or later.

hey, we have a magazine!

okay, we've had it since January...but I'm just thinking to photograph it today.

Happy Fathers Day

Fathers Day at Papa's house.

chasing shadows

Ian discovered his shadow this morning.

Amazingly enough it was hard to capture him doing this so

here's what I have.

Kind of reminds me of Peter Pan chasing his shadow in Wendy's room.
