Road Trip

On occasion I have the opportunity to take a business trip to Southern California. I took one of these trips this week. I drove down to San Diego on Monday and drove back on Tuesday. I enjoy taking these trips, with one exception, TRAFFIC. I think the LA area has some of the worst traffic ever. This is what it felt like (as I could not take a photo while in the driver's seat).






After enduring LA traffic, I continued on to San Diego. During the last little bit of the drive, I paralleled the Pacific Ocean. I found a scenic pull off and took a few pictures. I did not take my camera, but I did use the camera on my cell phone. The quality of the pictures are not great, but here a some I did take with my phone. I felt this was the perfect relief after the stress of bumper-to-bumper traffic.




The sun was setting and this was taken looking into the sunset.

Sunflowers

This time of year, there are several sunflower fields in the area and they are beautiful. For the past two years, I have told myself that I want to get a picture of them, but I never had my camera with me. This afternoon, I took a short drive with the purpose of getting a couple pictures. I hope you enjoy!

Five Letter Words

OK, so I admit, the last one was easy. (If you take the first letter and move it to the rear of the word, you get the same word when read backwards). Here is a new one, probably still easy, but hopefully will take a little more thought!

Below you will find 15 well-known five letter words, with only their endings remaining. Can you determine the words?

..lta
..yss
..pty
..dth
..day
..ybe
..dex
..fth
..nda
..aph
..alp
..era
..njo
..eue
..xty

Wow, time really does fly by!!!

It was Memorial weekend two years ago that my dad and brother, Neal flew to Arizona and helped me move to California so I could come work for the Wiscombe's. As usual, Neal got extremely board riding in the car for such a long distance. At one point, I gave him my camera to take some pictures in an attempt to help entertain him. That idea only helped for a short time, but here are some pictures he took, as well as a few others from the trip.

The windmills.




Your guess is a good as mine!





Now that is a full trailer!

Softball

As most of you know, I play softball on a City League team. I took my camera last night and asked some team mates to take some photos. Here are a few of me attempting to bat and feild a ball throughout the game.
