With the weather looking better here in California, I am thinking about taking some road trips but not sure how its going to fit into my schedule.  I know we really need to take the family to the snow up in Yosemite and to the beach to go see Monterey and Pismo. 

This photo is from when we went to visit San Francisco a while back.  It was nice to get away from the valley and get some fresh air in those lungs.  I cant wait to get out again. 

Thanks for reading.

I heard that the Central Valley Farmers are supposed to get more water this year.  That is great because the Valley really hasn’t been the same since the cut backs on the water.  Because of the water loss many farmers have closed their ranches and left.  This leaves a lot of farm workers without jobs and ways to support their families which in then crashes the economy because the workers leave the area lowering the population and causing cutbacks in school attendance which in then crashes everything else. 

I hope that people will realize that the world doesn’t revolve around one fish to save over million of people.  Don’t they realize if there is no water for these crops then there is no food for the millions of people that get their produce from our fields? 

I know that it should hopefully increase the chances of taking more agriculture photos.  I love to capture the moments of the harvests.  I have been waiting for the chance to catch the photos of the cotton harvest.  I have been wanting to do that ever since my grandfather was an irrigator and used to drive the cotton picker during the season.  Even when I worked for the local John Deere company in town did I get a chance to snap a photo of the huge combines that pick the cotton.  Hopefully this year!

This is a photo of a flower that is in the middle of the gardens next to the mission in San Juan Bautista, California.  I went on the field trip with my daughter to view the mission.  It had been more years than I can remember since the last time I have been there.  Very interesting place and lots of history.

This is a photo that I took of “The Passion Flower”.  I took this photo while I was visiting San Juan Bautista, California and saw this beautiful flower.  I didn’t know the name of it until my wife told me what it was called.  Very beautiful name and very beautiful flower.  As you can tell it gets its name from Jesus Christ.  Amazing!

This is a photo of Yosemite Falls.  My family and I went up there a couple of years back while there was still snow up there.  There wasn’t too much water coming off the falls but it sure was beautiful.

Recently, I got the chance to visit San Juan Bautista.  I must say it is a piece of work.  Not very much to do but very nice stuff to see.  I went one time when I was a little kid but I never can recall actually going.  The place was full of kids from a bunch of school field trips that were going on.   If you are planning on going I would suggest you call ahead and see when is their time with the least amount of people.
