My sister-in-law, she lives in Volcano, California. An hours drive east of Sacramento. Tall trees, awesome quietness. The goldfish make it thru the winter somehow.
What a setting! Looks like paradise to me.

This is a grounded boat on Long Island, Bahamas just a few miles south of where we lived. Like many such wrecks in the Bahamas, it was "commandeered" by Haitian refugees escaping the deplorable conditions there, navigated north to the Bahamas and deliberately run aground on a randomly chosen beach. The refugees were ultimately rounded up by the Bahamian authorities and usually shipped back home, but the boats they came in on were left to the sea to dispose of. The Bahamas has its own problems in plenty, and no jobs or charity available for refugees. It really is an economic issue for them.

How beautiful Caslon!My sister-in-law, she lives in Volcano, California. An hours drive east of Sacramento. Tall trees, awesome quietness. The goldfish make it thru the winter somehow.
I love early California history..The town is named for its setting in a bowl-shaped valley which early miners thought was caused by a volcano. Early morning fog rising from the valley floor only reinforced that belief.
Today, less than 100 people live there, down from 5,000 during the gold rush days.

Some lovely new photos here, guys. RP, that is a lovely picture in color and composition, but a sad tale of reality...

BEAUTIFUL pics RP, and Caslon. I so got lost in the loveliness.
Caslon...NOCAL has such beautiful scenery...I was just there last year, close to the area of your pics. Just gorgeous and as mentioned, lots of history of the Gold Rush up there.

This is me and my son and my great mate in the Hawaiian shirt. We are dismembering a pig that's been on a rotisserie, basted with butter and pineapple juice. This was the best pork and crackling I've eaten

Russ, that sure looks like fun, and good eats too I bet. Thanks for sharing.
Just lovely PF, I like the little garden gnome too.

Thanks Kayelle, I thought the gnome with his hands folded was the most appropriate for Shrek, he would not have wanted a cross or angel.

Spent a week dog-sitting for my buddy. This is Lily, the sweetest, chillest dog I've ever known.

Beautiful memorial, PF. Hugs.
TATTRAT at that angle looks like she got stung on the nose. LOL - she looks like my late Trail's little sister. So sweet - thanks for the memories.
I was looking for the picture of when that cat and another were just tiny kittens napping on top of Trail who was snoring but this is the only one I can find.
The late TiggyT'gar went from being small enough to nap on Trail's head to being almost equal in length! LOL

An old friend and co-worker called my, out of the blue, and sent me a nice chunk of new business. I photographed his car for him over the weekend. It is a really nice 1965 MGB. Not many left that haven't dissolved to rust piles. This one is very well restored. So, for you MG fans...

Looks like a fun place, phinz. Reminds me a little of a Cleveland place called "Kon-Tiki" that closed back in 1974. No entertainment at Kon-Tiki, but lots of good food...and drinks. 
sure does look like fun guys!
We had a Kon Tiki in Montreal too. Was in one of the big hotels. I don't remember entertainment either but the decor/menu/drinks were impressive!

Very nice MG...
When first married (1959) I had a 54 TR2 with Isky cam and HD Olds lifters. I used to love dragging MG's on the streets and at the Salinas Drag Strip.. My new wife was scared of driving the car and because I couldn't afford 2 cars, I sold it and became a proper husband.. (Carwise anyway)
