My secret...

I have a dirty little secret. In a world of Hybrid vehicles, everything 'green' and eco-friendly, with citizens in fear of Global Warming. . I drive a gas guzzling SUV, and I don't buy the cheap gas. We're talkin' $3.54 per gallon. . . yikes!

Springy close-ups

nectarine blossoms

The first sign of Spring in my yard is definitely finding blossoms on our nectarine tree. I had to trick my camera into taking this one, so we could see it REAL close-up..

Next. . . while tinkering around outside, thinking of things to photograph, I saw something in a new way... can you tell what it is??

spikey!

why... it's the edge of a Hydrangea leaf. I honestly never realized they were spikey!

Hydrangeas - before the bloom

Vintage Sewing Machine

I searched my house high and low for something, anything with an unpolarized plug, with no results. After reading Andi's post about the sewing machine, I realized I had something just perfect. A vintage sewing machine my husband picked up at a yard sale a few years back.

vintage sewing machine - unpolarized plug

It's really a neat piece of machinery... I love the style of it, but as you can tell by the extreme layer of dust, it isn't very useful. . in fact, I'm not even sure it works.... it's just sitting there on a shelf in my garage. . .

Spanglish at it's FINEST. .

Here in SoCal, where every street, town and "plaza" is named in Spanish, we also find the best of the best in "Spanglish". . .

Presenting, The CASA DE SENIORS. . .as in "senior citizens", and not to be confused with "seƱor". . or "man" in Spanish.

Spanglish at it's finest.

This one makes me laugh every time...

stopping at the edge of the world.

stop at the end of the world

allright, so it's not the CLOSEST stop sign to my house, but it was definitely the most picturesque. . . This shot was taken this afternoon, a beautiful clear day (not to mention a comfortable 62 degrees!). In the background - the Oceanside pier.
