TUESDAY TRAVELS - CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

A few years ago, SWMBO and I took a drive over to visit our friends Tom and Lana in California.

The occasion was one of Lana's many art shows.




As you can see, Lana experiments in a variety of styles.

Notice the frames on this wine-inspired collection are made of wine corks.

She's also a champion bread baker.


Her husband, Tom, is a colleague from many years ago in Indianapolis radio.


Here he's explaining something to Griff, another friend from those radio days.

Of course if you visit friends who live on the coast you have to check out the ocean.



Naturally, I found some of the avian life of interest.



And there were some wonders of the mammalian world to view.


Elephant seals come, year after year, to this same spot to spawn their young.

It makes for a very popular tourist attraction.


It may have been California but these Arizona heat-dwellers found it a bit on the chilly side at times.


As usual, this dry-land person never wanted to leave the seashore.


Good friends, wonderful hospitality, a great visit.
