goldenmoon > August 21 - BUMPER SHOCK! - Today I am posting two shots, both in honor of Andrea Kaus! These shots are from Saturday. While driving to a concert, Kristie and I stopped off in Copperopolis, CA where they were hosting a car show....there were some really neat cars and some even more amazing paint jobs, but what struck me the most was the chrome...maybe it was the perfectly bright day producing great reflections, maybe it was because I am a guy who simply likes bright shiny toys, but these are certainly my favorites!

goldenmoon > August 18 - DIABETES, A DAILY FACT - This is a special picture to me...I am doing this one for my son. On July 6, 2006, my son, Aaron, was diagnosed with type one diabetes. With much to learn in 2006, we spent most of our free time learning what to do and when. This year, the learning continues. Most people, me included, don't like needles, we do not want to have a shot or have blood drawn...at best its painful, at worst it may trigger a major phobia. Aaron has to test his blood glucose when he wakes up, again at lunch, at dinner and bedtime every day...on days when he is highly active (running in PE, swimming, playing ball) he has to test then as well to make sure he is not too low. He must take insulin (injections) with each meal and most snacks. This is Aaron's daily routine. Aaron attended diabtes camp this summer, a wonderful program for kids with the disease. He has learned a tremendous amount about this condition, including some of the causes. In Aaron's situation, he has type one diabetes, this impacts about 5% of the people with "Diabetes". In the case of people with type one, there is no behavior that causes the disease, there is a trigger that causes your own immune system to attack your pancrease, preventing it from producing insulin naturally. No one knows what the trigger is, only that genetics (family history) can make you vulnerable. This year, we will STEP OUT to FIGHT DIABETES, in a diabetes walk.

goldenmoon > August 12 - CALIFORNIA LIVING - Palm Trees and Vinyards with blue skies...does it get any more California? I have seen these trees many times from the freeway, but had not taken the time to shoot them until today...not a bad setup!
goldenmoon > August 11 - OLD FAITHFUL - WEST COAST STYLE - This faithful geo thermal water geyser is located outside of Calistoga in the northern part of Napa Valley. I have lived in Northern CA all my life and did not know this was there...I guess "Geyserville", a small town near this natural wonder, should have given me a clue, eh?
goldenmoon > August 6 - WIND ENERGY! Driving on Highway 12 between I5 and I80, we passed these very active windmills. The wind was tremendous, but what really cought our attention was the size of these massive blades. I like this shot because of the cool clouds setting drama to the picture. You will note the tiny trees on the left side of this shot, these are full size, 30 - 40 foot trees. Looking closer, you will see two palm trees, estimated to be about 30 feet tall with a barn building to the left of them. Does anyone have any thoughts on what crop is growing in the foreground? we could not identify it, but it was growing everywhere!
goldenmoon > July 30 - Got Milk? - These high flying daredevils were skating, in-line skating, and BMX'ing up this steep half pipe...or really more like a wall. Flying about 30 feet into the air and then coming down on those little wheels is not my idea of fun, but these acrobats made it look easy! The Gilroy Garlic Festival had more than just good food!!
goldenmoon > July 29 - HOT!! "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!" Pyro Chef at work! - We visited the Gilroy Garlic Festival on Saturday. We stopped and watched a crew of "Pyro Chefs" do thier work...AMAZING! Clear risks are the real chance of being burned. We watched them produce food for the masses and rock out to some classic tunes...these guys totally enjoyed the work they were doing! And we totally enjoyed thier food!
goldenmoon > July 26, 2007 - "HEY, Who took my spot?" Walking near Cannery Row in Monterey, CA. - EDIT -following ScuriurusNiger's thought process...it could also be, "Are you my mommy?"
