goldenmoon > July 5, 2008 - Hey there! Well, sure has been a while since I last posted here, sorry for being absent!  

This image of a fresh bloom we had this morning shows a little visitor.  This mantins was quie amusing as he had gotten pollen all over his leggs!

Since the last post a LOT has happened!  Kristie and I were engaged, we went to Hawaii, and many other wonderful experiences
goldenmoon > June 14 - SUMMER FLAGS - This shot is from the pier near the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk...these colorful flags caught my eye while walking on the beach and I decided to take the shot.
goldenmoon > December 22 - CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!!  We moved to the community of Manteca, California (Yes, it means lard), in 2000.  Each of the last few years, we have gone to visit this house and smile...the following are the facts:

-180 thousand lights...they start stringing lights in October to be ready for Thanksgiving

-Tallest "tree" is 45 feet (higher before the city enforced the restriction...there was a star that was about 60' up) - note the tiny tree toppers? those are 6' trees that most people put in their yards

-About $2000 per month in electricity

-589 Mercedes St, Manteca, CA

-Santa every Saturday evening from Thanksgiving to Christmas...every day during the last week, up to Christmas Eve

-Free Coffee, Hot Chocolate, cookies, and candy canes every night Santa is there

The funniest part? After 27 years of marriage, the owner, Brock, never put lights up...his wife nagged him every year...a few years ago, he put on one strand to surprise her....it grew from there.  Yes, Nagging caused this...he loves it...she "says" its not worth the $2k per month in electricity, but loves seeing all the smiling faces.
goldenmoon > April 4 - Focused Ambition - I was shooting at my son's swim meet today...got several shots, but this one really stuck with me.  Thoughts?
goldenmoon > April 21 - Dragon Fly in our front yard...this one was kind enough to pose for a couple of shots
goldenmoon > This Acorn Woodpecker stopped in to check on its chicks in this nest near the ranger station at Pinnacles National Monument
goldenmoon > December 9 (thanks Hillary!) - Winter in Yosemite!  Went to Yosemite this morning to shoot some of the first snow of the season...as I was focusing on a rather boring meadow of snow, my son was examining detail in the bark of a mossy tree.  He called me over and suggested I shoot this image...I did and he was right, great job Aaron!
