Most Santa Cruz sunsets are beautiful, but on mildly cloudy days, they're awesome.
Another tidbit from Anal Retentive Land. Guess whose handiwork this is?
And then, my sister leaves her own legacy. Told you she was stacked. By the way, she really does this at every meal/snack - stack.
I was a little horrified, plenty amused to find this in a Toys R Us email ad - Playmobil Roman Arena set, complete with lion, gladiators and thumb-down emperor. What, no half-eaten Christians?
Cute (and sometimes noisy) squirrels like to scuttle around the yard. This one found a nut and was trying to eat it literally all over the yard. It didn't keep still for more than 3 seconds I reckon. The photo's a bit blurry as I had to take the picture from behind the screen door.
The Santa Cruz coastal area is the western wintering grounds for the Monarch butterflies. It used to be spectacular, with the trees simply covered in them. Sadly, their numbers are dwindling at an alarming rate, and today they number less than 5% of what they did 10 years ago. Still, it was cool to watch when batches of them took flight.
Another rare conjunction! Venus and Jupiter were less than 2" close at the end of November, and they were so bright in the night sky that even my crappy Sony Cyber-shot camera could capture them. The crescent moon joined them on 30 November - these pictures were taken around 5.30pm Pacific Time. Venus is the brighter dot of light.
This is the photo the Ginsburg family used for their X'mas cards this year, taken 2 days ago. You can clearly tell the kids inherited their daddy's hairline and forehead size - not as obvious for Sean at this point at his fringe has grown out, but check out the length of his head. Aren't they adorable?
