Moon in the Morning

Yesterday morning I saw the moon was still out above the mountain. Shortly after taking these photographs the moon had descended below the western mountain. I love how the moon looks when in blue skies.

Fawns on the Trinity River

These two little fawns were near the river, their mother was close by eating. They were very cute when they saw their mother and ran towards her. They saw me and sat down again.

Chicken Ranch Beach, Inverness, Marin County

Father's Day was a beautiful day out in Inverness, on Tomales Bay in Marin County. The day was sunny, and gorgeous. This is a wonderful beach for children as it is flat, and shallow, and mostly just sand and sea shells. We took a trip across the bay also to buy some fresh Manila clams. They were absolutely delicous!

This last picture is of an Osprey diving in the water for a fish. He dove down quite a few times but we never saw him come back up with a fish. After reading some I find out that they are known for being in the Tomales bay area.
