I take pictures . . .

If anyone asks me what I do now that I am retired, 

I simply say, " I take pictures".

Thursday an old high school friend (we're having our 50th reunion in a few months) dropped in for lunch - she is staying nearby for a few weeks.

I set the table in the garden and then I grabbed my camera.

I took photos standing by my garden house looking toward the back of the house.

I stood behind the table looking at the garden house.

I stood by the back fence and looked back at the house.

I stood by the chaises and looked back at the fence.

I know, way too many photos, but it's fun to try different angles.

On Friday we headed north to San Luis Obispo to see our daughter, KC, who was down this way for a wedding.

We were invited to join in on the Welcome Wine Tasting event and I was so excited when we pulled up to Sextant Wines in the Edna Valley.

I was the designated driver and while everyone else was indoors tasting wine,

I was walking around with my iPhone.

It didn't matter which direction I was looking,

everywhere I looked there was something

for me to photograph.

I had a great time

doing what I love -

taking pictures.

And now, it's time for our walk and I will be sure to bring along my phone because I never know when I will see something worth photographing.

. . . . . . . . . .

You need to be taking photos too because it's time for another Garden Party and we hope you join in.
