Mom and Dad in for a visit!

171/365 Dew

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

~Rabindranath Tragore

170/365 Affirmation

I give my consent to activating my life's purpose of delivering my talents, gifts, and skills on the planet- not only for my personal benefit, but as my contribution to the planet. Anything that heretofore blocked or intimidated me from living up to my highest potential mentally, emotionally, creatively, or spiritually is now dissolved. I am who and what I was always meant to be.

~ THE Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith

169/365 Clouds

A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed...It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.

~Richard Bach

168/365 Cool Doorway

I walk by this every day on my way into work. It actually looks a bit cooler in the light... maybe I'll take that shot tomorrow. I have no idea what their music is like, but I like the neon.

167/365 Architecture in Oxnard

There are several of these sculpted faces on this very gothic looking former bank building down the street from my school in Downtown Oxnard. Very interesting, and a bit surprising!

166/365 The California Happy Cows (and horses, and a sneaky turkey Vulture!)

We live up on the bluffs overlooking the Ventura River bed, and across the way is a farm with cows and horses. We've spent a good amount of time out there, just watching them. It's especially exciting when they all do a little stampede down the hill. There really ARE happy cows in California.

So I was spending some quality time out there today, using my telephoto as a pair of binoculars, and decided to snap some shots... there was a Turkey Vulture soaring around and he made a guest appearance in this one!
