Another Reflection

Some people like window shopping. Me, I like looking in windows to see what may be reflecting back. This display window belongs to Sharone's Religious Supplies and Gifts at 327 Fifth Street. Across the street is the building that houses the Granada Theater.

Here are a couple more photos of reflections that I took in downtown Hollister:  This and This.

A Glowing Santa Ana Peak

"Come look at light on the mountains," called the Husband yesterday evening, just before the sun set.

California Poppies

A few days ago, I saw my first golden poppies of the year. They seem to bloom earlier with each new year. Or, maybe I'm taking the time to notice things more. It's nice to know that California poppies are drought tolerant plants.

Fog!

We've had two mornings in a row of very thick fog. Is it unusual for February? I recall the summer mornings of fog around here when I was a kid many years ago. Fog that would break by 10 or 11 in the morning.

Fog is nice. After all, we need precipitation in any form.

Concrete Craftsmanship

Some of the concrete sidewalks in the residential neighborhood of historical downtown Hollister were made in 1910. That's amazing, I say. Today, experts say that concrete generally lasts 20 or more years, if taken care of properly. The O.C. Samuels, the contractor, ought to be proud that his work has lasted so long.
