Santa Clara Evening Light & Shadow

La Paloma Mexican Restaurant

Angie and I walked up to La Paloma for dinner tonight. I had my regular: chorizo con huevos, flan, and long island iced teas. We shared a perfect California evening for the walk home.

Peking Duck Rocks!

Angie at Trader Vic's

I love my peking duck.

It's best in Beijing, of course, but life is full of compromises.

Eating dinner at Trader Vic's with Angie (eating her seared ahi), on a beautiful California evening, is not the worst compromise a man could make.

Our waiter is preparing my duck, while I wait anxiously...

Church at Taos

Angie and St. Jerome Church

Built in 1850, St. Jerome is 'just another' beautiful church in New Mexico.

This one resides in Taos Pueblo.

Kiss The Lizard

Angie and a Horned Lizard

While we were hiking in Petroglyph National Monument, New Mexico, Angie spotted this Horned Lizard. 

I caught him so we could become acquainted.

He was quite docile and very cool. One of the highlights of our trip...

Laughing in the face of Death (Valley) II:

 Father Crowley Point, Death Valley NP

Angie poses with our rented 4wd at Father Crowley Point. 

This is just one of the breathtaking views that you can see in Death Valley.
