Greetings!
I've created a video for use to help Coastwalk gain broader understanding of their efforts to develop the California Coastal Trail:

Crociani Family
Greetings!
This last weekend, we participated in the Crociani Cousins Reunion in Sebastopol. Several months ago, Pat's brother (Ken) and I produced a couple of videos of the family photos. Last night, I produced another of the photos of the Reunion. Hope all enjoy. We had a ball.

Santa Rosa Memorial Day 2009
Greetings!
As a Vietnam veteran who has plenty of reason to be thankful to those who have fallen, I have often avoided attending Memorial Day celebrations. It always seems the ceremonies were too much about surviving veterans showing off their uniforms. This year, I decided to attend two ceremonies in my hometown. I missed the formal ceremony of the first and largest, complete with lots of flags and military regalia. But I did get to wonder around capturing photos of family members attending to the graves of loved ones. That's really what it's all about to me.
These photos illustrate the work and love of our hometown veterans memorialized here, beginning with a visit to the cemetery by young Jonah Feith.
The second ceremony was the dedication of a flagpole in our smaller rural cemetery, commemorating one which had flown for many years and had deteriorated. The volunteers who have maintained the cemetery dressed up in period costume of the late 1800's, and brought out pies and milk and ice cream. It was a sweet and special tribute to the small town character which has remained of Santa Rosa.

San Clemente
Greetings!
On a recent trip to visit our friends Art and Anne in San Clemente, we took a walk out on the pier. While I spent most of my surfing days as a youth in the San Diego area, the life calls out to me whenever I'm close to waves. These photos were taken on a nice day with a small swell providing some good rides.

May 10th, South to Moro Bay
Greetings!
About 15 minutes into our visit to the Monterey Aquarium on Saturday, my camera battery gave out. But I did get a few shots of the otters and a school of anchovies.
Today, we drove south on Hwy 1 to Moro Bay. Along the way, we were able to view hundreds of young elephant seals sunning on the beach near San Simeon.
Slurping an ice cream on the boardwalk at Moro Bay, we discovered six California Coastal Trail markers affixed to the wooden fenceposts. Good work, Coastwalk!
