13 to 18/365

I am behind on posting....and alas, I forgot an adaptor when I headed out for the weekend so yesterday, today and tomorrow will be on hold until next week.

Here we go.....

13/365

Went for a fabulous hike at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve.  Saw this sign at the entrance and it reminded me that our "daily use fee" is paying attention.



14/365

Monday and this is what the clock said when I left....tooo late!


15/365

Sunset when I drove home Tuesday.....


16/365

The building where I work has an atrium, with lovely ficus trees in the center.  When I walk outside I feel like I'm in the woods and not a three story building....


17/365

Trees were still interesting to me.....


18/365

My Friday shot is one of my favorites....the wind cooperated in animating a fountain that looks a dandelion.....

My erstwhile companions, Ko-Ko and Boo-Boo, enjoying a sunbeam and the radiator heat on a cold morning.


11/365

I left for work early enough to see the last glow of sunrise.....

This was the view when I left work tonight.



To me the cloud looked like a dog on a surfboard.  What do you see?

9/365

Those tulips I bought last night that I thought were purple.....


are actually a gorgeous red!

8/365

I have to admit that when I awoke this morning, I was disappointed it was a work day.  I could have used several hours more sleep.  After I was in the shower, I remembered that it is Tuesday, and that meant the local Farmer's Market would be back this afternoon/evening.  Heaven!  Since savor is my word this year, the Farmer's Market is a boon....great food, interesting people and great conversations with my favorite vendors.

Three pics for today.....


Every week I buy flowers from the lovely Lisa (left).  I got a bonus tonight when I found my friend Phil (right) at the flower stall when I arrived.  Lisa is from Skyline Flowers and they have a beautiful selection every week, at reasonable prices.  My purchase tonight...lovely purple tulips.



This is the brick oven where Olivewood Wood Fired Catering makes wonderful pizzas.  Ian, Katy and Adam thrill me nearly every Tuesday night.  Tonight I savored two pieces of Pesto Pizza with ricotta, pesto, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, and strips of basil.  Yummmmy!


Believe me, this picture taken with my phone does not do this gorgeous creation justice.  I am so looking forward to a slice of this for lunch tomorrow!

I'm going to have to break out the real camera more for 365.  The good thing about phones with cameras is that they're usually available, but some subjects demand a better instrument.

It's only January 8, but doing the 365 project is really helping me savor my days.
