The morning golden hours are the hours I’d rather still be in bed. My husband sometimes gets up and snaps a picture or two. Some of my favorite pictures were of fog one morning when I was on my way to work. I had to pull over and snap the pictures using my cell phone, it was so beautiful.
I love evenings as well. I took these pictures when I took my camera with me on a walk in the country.
Hi, I’m Marsha Ingrao, a retired educator and wife of a retired realtor. My all-consuming hobby is blogging and it has changed my life. My friends live all over the world. In November 2020, we sold everything and retired to the mile-high desert of Prescott, AZ. We live less than five miles from the Granite Dells, four lakes, and hundreds of trails with our dog, Kalev, and two cats, Moji and Nutter Butter. Vince’s sister came with us and lives close by. Every day is a new adventure.

Lovely photos Marsha. I find the older I get the later I like to get out of bed in the mornings.

These photos are quite majestic. California is stunning, aye, that it is.
Was just chatting with a chap evening, last, as condensation dribbled down the foggy winders (“Foggy Winders” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhRgWuHOvko ) and he blathered on and on about how fabulous it is there. These photos certainly illustrate that beauty. Wonderful!!

Oh that IS devastating! Sir absolutely hates the song. I used to play it in the car on a tape, with myriads of other miscellaneous odd-ball songs I’d accumulated just for Sir’s torture, I mean, absolute delight.
They are wonderful photos!! I wish I could see it in person. I am looking to possibly WWOOF out there sometime in the fall if I can manage it. A lot of organic farms loitering about there I’ve noticed. Then I could gawp at some of that beauty, when I really should be hoeing or weeding or harvesting or whatnot, instead of just reveling all over the place with huge bulbous toady eyes glinting in the gauzy light of dawn.
Excuse this effusive animation. I don’t know what it is…well, I do have an idea…er…lime water? I was just with some limes today, by the way. Sir and I are a part of a photography club, (not comprised of limes, though, but people that snap photos, possibly of limes) WHOA this is terrible rambling. Either way, lime-plants were present, amongst a sea of other Florida natives. We met one bloke named Steve who taught English in Poland, on the topic of anthropology. You can imagine what he was like fascinating har har har. We gassed on and on about how we both are sooooo interested in polaroid black and white photography. Right, ENOUGH off to the watering-pools, Cheereo luv,

Steve from Poland… hmmm Sounds like a wonderful lecturer. And Sir didn’t fall asleep? That would have been too funny! A little nodding off, a little falling off the chair, a little polaroid picture in black and white posted on the internet! hmmmm 🙂

Right now, or during Steve from Poland’s lecture? I hope you didn’t snort during the lecture. That would be worse than Sir’s snores! 🙂

And Sir just said something “important” to me, and hearing my hyena-being-strangled imitation, which erupted just after he uttered the unheard words as I was reading your comment, he said in a droning, and slightly peeved voice, “Oh that’s funny, huh??”
