Magnetic Personality

Who doesn't love dolphins?
Anyone who has walked to the end of Pier 39 in San Francisco should have noticed the store that sells nothing but magnets….lots and lots of magnets attached to things of all shapes and sizes…. including dozens and dozens of dolphins.

The Pages are Yellow

This arrived in the mail today… but it somehow seems so retro that it belongs in +Blast From The Past 
  I think it will take its place next to the fireplace as crumple-up kindling to start a nice evening fire when cooler temperatures come back this fall…

Fighting the Butts Canyon Fire

Posted on by

———————————–
There is a 3800-acre fire burning about 6 miles north of where I live, and Cal Fire is using our college's small airport as a staging area for helicopter activities as 1000 firefighters work to contain the wildfire.
Praying for those who have been evacuated from their homes and are waiting to find out whether they'll still be there when they return.
  This Cal Fire chopper was landing in Angwin and appeared to be swapping out some personnel.

A reshare for #waterbirdwednesday
A lovely pair of Great Blue Herons were patrolling this section of the Albion River near the Mendocino Coast of California.

Thanks to a prior post by +Robin Griggs Wood, I had enough hints to scout out the location where they grow the Q-Tips, and verified it on my morning walk today. This set is near ready to harvest.

I Look Forward to Growing Old With You

You know them…
That couple…
They've been together since they were just little buds…and though the march of time has started to reveal a wrinkle or two (or three), they are still hopelessly in love, and obviously will be inseparable until their dying days.
…That's what I thought about as I saw these two mature rose blooms side by side in Golden Gate Park

The Stuff Down Under

————————————-
Deep below the brick, stones, and mortar of the gorgeous +Castello di Amorosa are hallways going out in all directions just loaded with barrels and barrels of the fruit of the vine… You'll get a glimpse of a fraction of it on the castle tour…it's quite the amazing operation!
