Newest earrings

After making several different types of leaf canes last weekend, I used the leftovers colors to make these earrings. I love how they turned out and look forward to finishing them so that I can wear them.

Sharing a Beautiful Sunset - October 7, 2009

While downloading the photos from my California trip I came across these few photos taken of a fall sunset off my deck. This is why I love Seattle, our sunsets are so beautiful.

California trip photos

As you can see from the photos below, this trip was all work and no play. We traveled down I-5 instead of the coast. In addition, the photos were taken from the truck and we didn't take time to stop for the photo opts. This wasn't nearly as enjoyable as our last trip. Our next trip will include scenic stops. If we are going to travel by auto down to California, we may as well see the country and make it worth it. All of these photos were taken October 16 and 17th.

I believe this is the Sacramento River, but I could be wrong.

This photo and the one below were take of a lake near the grapevine, but again, I could be wrong. It has been nearly a month since I took these and they are undocumented.
