I love seeing the sky! Before this we lived right in the middle of the city. Houses and trees block out most of the sky. When we come out to see the farm for the first time it was cloudy and rainy. The sky looked amazing! Now I get to see such beautiful sun rises and awesome storm clouds?

Envious!!

I recently had an appreciation for the sky, mainly when there's large cloud formation which is rare where I live (southern California)

Just some random pix from the Laboratory of PCs and fishwater, in a town in central California.

There's our new DMV, beyond the geese. There are lots of man-made ponds here and we are right on the main migratory path for these big Canadian Honkers.


We are at the "Gateway to the Sierra", half way between Yosemite...




...and The Giant Sequoia Forest...




...near the Sierra Nevada foothills.



I live in a California Bugalow in the 'burbs. Just yer common suburban tract housing, but a nice town of 90k people.


The front Yard.


Back patio, before painting the fence


The side yard, newly resodded.
Several years ago.


The boatyard, under a tarp, painting the bow trim. Many years before we built the shed or reffited the boat.



Hoisting the boat. (After the electric conversion of 2017.)


Fishing at the local reservoirs.


Tiny lake in the high Sierra. This is about 1 hr drive and a 20 minute walk from my door.
Favorite fishing hole of all time (in California.)

This widow maker dropped a dead limb on my husband's car. Suffice it to say, we don't tolerate that kind of behavior.




Backyard after a freak snow shower.

I love clouds so much. Those big fluffy cumulus clouds are some of my favorites
