22 Degrees, 12/18/12

Before heading up to South Lake Tahoe from Sacramento, Richard surprised me with lunch at Celia's. Awww!

Off we go…

Notice the pole?

When the road is not visible because of the snow, the poles indicate the edge of the road.

 We stopped at Pier 1 and had fun in the snow.

So that is what snow chains are.

Oh no! The storm is approaching.

After seeing the signs, we had no choice; it was mandatory to get snow chains. The guy allowed me to take pictures of the installation which were placed on the front tires. 

What an adventure. Brrrrr!!!

Kapiolani Community College's(KCC) beauty, 12/1/12

I spent a wonderful morning capturing beauty with Milton S., Derek and Roger. Milton assisted me with understanding my camera. I have had some trouble focusing and he gave me pointers - thank you so very much. 

KCC has so many beautiful plants, flowers, birds,

and Madagascar Geckos.

It was extremely challenging to capture these Meijiros. They are small and are hard to track. The following were cropped. 

Thanks guys, it was so much fun. Also on Saturday, there is a Farmer's Market - so getting something to eat there was convenient and yummy.
