Little Buggah!

Can you believe the little buggah actually stood still for me for a second?!? Incredible!!! Ops! There he goes again!
I was impressed with his ability to match his back feathers to the mustard of the "stamen."
Yes, Ruby Red Throat. You are quite mighty! I'll leave your feeder alone!
It's good to be me at my grandparents house getting know the little people. I mean big menacing humming birds!

Good times

Aah, a night on the town....great time to take pictures!!! We started out at the Bahia in Mission Bay and rode it to the Catamaran and back. The moon was nearly full and made for a witty atmosphere. Known to the locals as "The Booze Cruise," it shuttles across Mission Bay every half hour, making a return to our starting point on the hour. It is actually called the Bahia Belle, and is free for guests of the Bahia, for us, it was $10 each, but Crystal had an AAA card, so it was buy one, get one free. Woo-hoo!!! I guess the cost had gone up, Crystal reports that it was $6 last time she was on it. Fun little something to do on a Saturday night.
Cowboy boots. On a Saturday night to watch a football game. Then to go to the beach and on a "cruise." Well, it's not my usual style, but it's not me wearing them. I've got to start looking for some east county boys for this girl!
We had just missed the boat by about 15 minutes, so we had some time to kill. And I had a camera. What's a girl to do?
We did some shoots, and tried a few poses. Margo at first felt she did not take good pictures. As you can see, she looks great! She said, "Wow! This is the first time I actually looks sexy in my pictures!"
I think she looks fantastic. All it takes is a willingness to try new things, new poses, and someone who likes to take pictures, like me, and a sexy temptress is born!

Janitha and Jannica will appreciate this picture up top. "Look! I'm in AMERICA!!! Quick! Take a picture with me and the American flag!!!"" (you can compare with earlier posts with me and the Swedish flag.)
Oh, and Janitha, some day you will have to teach me that trick. So far all I can do is ` but I can't link it to a letter.
Girls night out! Crystal, Margo and myself.
And one new friend. Not the mermaid I would have put on the boat I own, not that I own a boat, but I sure liked this little guy.
It's good to be on a Saturday night surrounded by friends and plastic lobsters.

Wine country

Wine tokens. Bliss!
Loverly grapes!

Cheers to good friends!


Not last week, but the weekend before Crystal and I went up to the Temecula wine country. We only hit one vineyard that day, but it was a great one. South Coast Vineyard. Great wine, I tell you. I would definately recommend it.

Especially the Ruby Cuvee. There's an accent over the first "e", but as I am American, we don't so much do accents. Or at least my computer doesn't have one that I know how to use, but that's a blog for another day.

Good times!

The latest

In keeping with my "cut your hair once it drives you crazy" philosophy, I finally got a haircut.
Crystal came too and got hers cut and colored. Now she is a "honey-blonde."

So what do you think? I am pretty happy with it, we shall see how it looks after I try to style it myself, but it sure feels lighter.

It's good to be me and have friends come help you get a haircut. Friends are fantastic!!!
